Don’t underestimate Starmer’s push for workers’ rights – it could be his defining legacy

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/07/labour-workers-rights-keir-starmer-workplace

Could being the operative word. Workers do not fund his party, and he s determined to keep them out.

@Wen Many of us in Fire&Rescue withdrew our political levy in favour of the Labour Party many, many years ago. The people, big business, who used to fund the Blue Tories, now fund the Red Tories.

‘will extend child benefit to wealthier families

So at an estimated cost of £1.5Bn the threshold for will be extended to £120,00 a year.

They really are taking the piss here. usage the highest it has ever been, the on its knees, in crisis and now this.

Apparently it will be paid for by cracking down on . What thought this gem up? They really want to lose.

Are Labour offering Scots another Indyref, no. Are Labour offering Scotland another Brexit referendum, no. Are Labour offering Scotland membership of the single market, no. Are Labour offering Scotland membership of the customs union, no. Are Labour offering Scotland a Trident free future, no. Why would Scotland vote Labour, why ? Scotland's future lies within the EU.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

On the run up to the election I urge all SNP MPs and MSPs to bring up the following if interviewed, it's simple.
1 Is the union voluntary ?
2 Can Scotland leave the union ?
3 How does Scotland leave.

This really is important, bang on about it at every opportunity.

@NormanDunbar Bruce was not for me, Donnie was the sound of Runrig. Went to many concerts when Donnie was there but, for me, Runrig died when he left. In the same way that Freddy, was the sound of Queen.

You too can buy a Tesla, and support the main share holder Elon Musk, who abuses his social media platform to convince his 185 million followers, that the US justice system is corrupt, because his favorite criminal is brought to justice.

Or you could buy from a different car brand.

Labour treatment of Abbott having impact on voters, senior lawyer says

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

If Labour knock on your door, or you meet rep at hustings, meetings, whatever, the key question to ask is “Why are you too scared to put the Union Jack on your Scottish placards?” Then post their reply on mastodon.

Roadwarrior29,
@Roadwarrior29@mastodon.scot avatar

@Indyposterboy I have three questions for him, really simple ones
1 Is the union voluntary ?
2 Can Scotland leave ?
2 How does Scotland leave ?

These three simple questions ARE the whole Indy question in a nutshell, short and succint. Every Labour, Tory, LibDem MP and MSP should be asked these questions at every opportunity.
