I'm going to the TUC disabled workers' conference this afternoon. I'm representing my trades council as an observer. I will also co-present a fringe event with @sparksyred. Quite nervous but looking forward to it too.

Depraved! #Israelis are celebrating the killing of 13 Palestinians, inc. 4 children, 5 women, a medical doctor & 3 PIJ combatants.
They're handing out wine, dancing & laughing about death & destruction, with shirt tags that read "death to terrorists".

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards
So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart
I am so sad to to find out about Martin. A good comrade at Middlesex Uni and made significant contributions to Industrial Relations and socialist politics.
On my way to Bristol this morning to attend the funeral of the brilliant academic intellectual + socialist activist Martin Upchurch - miss you, but take heart from your spirit of resistance @XantheWhittaker @alex_callinicos @PhilTaylorGlsgw @BUIRAonline @WESjnl @CapitalClass2

It’s a humanitarian crisis. Let’s call it out for what it is. People will starve and die without food aid.
My @guardian story: @TrussellTrust foodbank network reports record demand from struggling families last year amid cost of living crisis - nearly 3m parcels given out, up 37% year on year theguardian.com/society/2023…

Manchester United is not just a football club, it's a legacy built on passion and loyalty. The Glazers ownership has tarnished that legacy. A full sale and their departure is the only way forward to restore the pride and glory of this great football club. #GlazersOut #MUFC

🐔&🥚. DWP will only fund equipment once someone is in work, leaving disabled people to find accessible computers themselves.
