That’s literally the point of the GOP plan to remove birthright citizenship. They want a docile underclass with no rights that is beholden to an employer and can’t leave.

Yeah, demanding national service is really something a tech company should be doing.

Sánchez: “Shame on those who remain silent in the face of injustice. Shame on those who exploit workers, who criminalise those who are different, who turn rights into commodities, who defend elite privilege, who support war and violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and the Middle East.”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

Sánchez: “The Far Right and the Right are not shouting because they are winning. They shout because they know their time is coming to an end.”

When something horrific happens to a passenger on the railway, politicians talk about getting more staff

Yet they are constantly working behind-the-scenes to cut staff numbers

🎯Sam Browse from the @tssa.bsky.social is spot on: workers and passengers want the same thing

In schools across the country, girls in their early teens are offered the HPV vaccine, effectively offering them long-lasting protection. I was one of the first cohorts of girls in the UK to receive this, and it’s something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Another, and more recent innovation, which could put the UK on the path to eradicating cervical cancer completely, is the rollout of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. This protects someone from the HPV infection, which can later develop into cervical cancer.

The first was the introduction of population-level screening programs in 1988. Across the UK, women are invited to get a regular smear test to detect precancerous changes or cervical cancer cases early, when treatment has much better odds of success.

Death rates for cervical cancer in the United Kingdom have fallen by 80% since 1950—

Cervical cancer death rates among women in the United Kingdom have fallen by around 80% since 1950. You can see this reduction in the chart.

This progress happened for a couple of key reasons.

Sunday Times headline from March: Reform's Richard Tice avoided nearly £600k in tax

Despite receiving dividends, the companies paid zero tax in 2019, 2020 and 2021 for reasons that Tice said related to wider losses suffered by the groups. Although no such information appears in their accounts, he said: “The accountants advise on this and sign the audit and they are top drawer so I trust them.”

Richard Tice had a different explanation for why no tax was paid when he spoke to the Sunday Times last month.

Tice's statements here are all incorrect.

Quidnet Reit structure chart showing its corporate shareholders: Tisun One Ltd Tisun Two Ltd Tisun Three Ltd Tisun Four Ltd

Normal companies pay corporation tax. So, when they pay dividends, their corporate shareholders don't pay tax again. The dividends are exempt.

REITs are different. They don't pay corporation tax. So dividends received by Tisun One, Two, Three, Four were not exempt.

Disclosure: I'm a member of the Labour Party. But everyone paying attention knows I call it as I see it.

I've investigated Rayner, Starmer, Lavery, Zahawi.

I've refuted accusations that Jeremy Hunt (twice), Rishi Sunak and Nigel Farage avoided tax.

I annoy everyone.

What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received. What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions

We just turned in the copy-edited and fact checked draft. Feels good!

Selfishly, it would be nice for there to be no more apocalyptic end timesy stuff happening from now to the pub date, since we can't update any more. And also, bc I'm sick of living in it as I know all of you are, too.

More than 100 Labour MPs have written to the Home Secretary opposing the governments proposed immigration reforms - that’s a quarter of the parliamentary Labour Party - and that was before new figures which have exposed the government’s £10bn claim as a complete fiscal fantasy

How the hell has the stock market not learned that Trump just lies? Trump is wishing away the Iran War the way he did Covid. What happens when the market finally has to tell the truth?

No wonder he’d rather lie. And given the bleak options our reality presents, no wonder they believe him.

A 🩷🤍💙 positive article, with a good bump for @nionwomen.bsky.social in the process.

Love to see it.

Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who supported Trump for years, being left unable to travel internationally or vote due to Trump's anti-trans policies should be a stark warning to any of the anti-trans gay people out there.

The leopards will make a meal of your face too. Just wait.

Deliberately targeting both Jewish researchers and Trans+ people, Hitler kicked off his book burning at the Hirschfeld Institute of Sexual Research - destroying vital medical papers and deeply personal histories, including those of Dora, who had undergone some of the earliest affirming surgeries

It is a curious mentality of some of those defending Starmer on Labour's hostile policies that they will point to a line in a speech he gives to claim he supports x or y group and then completely ignore all the policies which his government has pushed increasing discrimination against those groups.

Worth a quick share over here
