Thread (1/18) This thread looks at why (and how) we should expect the Conservative Party to fight dirty from now until (at least) the next General Election. And at how we can best hope to avoid being manipulated.

I’m with @OwenJones84 on this and I share his evident incredulity about why this is is such a struggle for people to work out. TAX THEM - profit-guzzling companies and rich people - PROPERLY. .
Bosses getting 16% while workers have been getting real terms pay cuts. As @OwenJones84 says, "who is causing inflation in this country"? Oh, and at the end the presenter asks, what can we do other than ask them to please to share it around? Owen has a suggestion. #GMB

Amidst the @UCU marking & assessment boycott, I’ve seen over the past few weeks the class of 2023 designated the most unlucky year group in recent memory. I would know — I’m a part of it. But we’re not suffering from bad luck. 1/ https://t.co/Oue4wjDdWS

Or, in the 21st century version, bring the Deaf arts to hearing audiences, who didn’t even realise there could be something they might be missing. #ThinkDifferently #TakingBSLForward #BSL2032
@EdinDeafFest is an accessible celebration of deaf culture, language and heritage taking place this August. Their aim is to bring the arts to deaf audiences, so they can experience the festivals in a way that they haven’t been able to before. Check out - https://t.co/aH9lAVMJj1

And if anyone is stuck with DSA, tag me on here. I'm almost certainly able to help in a few mins and can add you for a DM. If I was American and we played jeopardy, DSA, PIP and Access to Work would be my specialist interests, which is a bit sad really.

In the 1930s the appeasers knew about the threat of fascism, but chose to ignore it. Today the threat is the climate crisis - and once again we have appeasers whose instinct is to shrug. My column

Please take two mins to watch this video from the TUC depicting how political decisions since 2010 have all but destroyed our once-great NHS, as waiting lists have soared from 4 to 7.5 million. It’s heartbreaking 😔
