"If you're under 19, or if you're 19 or older but in the first year of your apprenticeship, you will be paid at least the apprentice rate, external of £7.55 per hour. This will go up to £8 in April 2026." How the hell can anyone possibly survive on that? https://t.co/p9fA7lSk4D

The human stories behind the #Birmingham Bin Strike. Both @BhamCityCouncil and @jobandtalent_hq should be ashamed of themselves for what they've put these workers and the people of Birmingham through. https://t.co/CiZIpHAVbF

@MrMatthewTodd "Some 70% of UK food and drink is plastic wrapped – 51% of this unnecessarily so, according to one study." - and virtually impossible to avoid when buying food in the UK https://t.co/Xw0GhpN6qj.

In 2019, Keir Starmer stood with workers proudly supporting their £15 per hour minimum wage ask. Labour MPs who poke fun at The Green Party for backing a fair wage for workers should pause and reflect. Let’s value our workers and make sure they’re paid fairly.

If you’re watching this new show and interested - we use so much plastic now that - microplastics have been found in our blood, brains, kidneys, gut, lungs, testes, ovaries, placenta…. Some scientists believe it’s the cause of the massive upswing in bowel cancer in the

"Students aren’t being taught to think more deeply but to prompt more effectively. As the university trades its teaching mission for 'AI-tech integration,' it doesn’t just risk irrelevance, it risks becoming mechanically soulless." https://t.co/uNohFbFBWM

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

🚨NEW - the EU fined Elon Musk over issues which had nothing to do with free speech, and yet he's crying victim again By @willem_moore_uk https://t.co/g3VWO0DVXn

“Our kids will fix this!” Fuck off. Our kids will be living in a derailed society where fixing anything will be next to impossible. They will curse us for squandering THIS final, fleeting moment.

After Eurovision’s move to let the israelis to compete in 2026, Spain broadcast a split screen to expose the TRUTH of who they are: killers

Doctors in England are now facing unemployment because of decisions being made in Westminster. This year, 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 NHS training jobs. Doctors need these posts to become the Consultants and GPs the NHS is crying out for; yet the Government has capped

...I'm not one of those purists on the left who believes that anyone who makes a misstep should be burned at the stake and cancelled or whatever. We're all human and we all make mistakes/phrase things badly at times - in this instance, it does warrant an apology.

...and it has caused a degree of resentment and upset. It's also made some people feel uncomfortable (to put it midly) at the "christ I'd never want to be stuck doing your job" vibe that this has given off...

...despite the abhorrently low wages, carers are highly skilled workers. They do a hell of a lot more than just wiping bums. It's made many people feel as if their profession (and by extension, themselves) have been degraded and looked down upon..

...however, with this particular comment about carers, there's a lot of frustration (and sadness) about how they've been referred to. Firstly, it's come across as if their hard work (and expertise) had been devalued entirely...

... and no, I'm not chatting shit for twitter. While not everyone agrees with every point he makes (which let's face it, applies to literately everyone), no-ones given a bad story/experience about him - which in politics is a bloody rarity, but also shows that he's a nice guy...

Firstly - I wasn't there and I've never spoken to Zack before so how would I know his intentions? I'm in the Green Party, and knowing many people who've worked with him/run in those circles, I've genuinely never encountered anyone who had a bad word to say about him...

My comments aren't to be taken as an endorsement of Zia Yusif - I think he's absolutely vile. I do think (as others do) that Zack's comments warrant an apology - because while I truly believe they weren't meant in a harmful way (see below tweets) it's come across as degrading 🧵

Proud to stand alongside workers from the National Coal Mining Museum today. It is hugely important that the legacy of coal mining areas are remembered. So I urge the trustees to resolve this dispute and reopen the museum.

Thatcherism has failed They wanted deregulation and less tax, they got it They wanted public services privatised, they got it And here we are 40 yrs later… - Working families in poverty - Public services in disarray and more expensive Turns out the market doesn’t know best
