or disabled or chronically ill people, he had no time for slackers

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has been on a visit to the Kellogg's factory and has told staff his nickname is 'Special K'.
"I've been dubbed Special K since I was born, K for Keir."

"I have not been called Special K since I was born"...

I can imagine Boris saying that, so...

Funnily enough

I wrote about the Kellogg’s strike. as with so many other recent labor fights, workers’ anger is fueled by having worked 12-16 hour shifts, seven days a week, and being rewarded for it with a company proposal to make future jobs worse https://t.co/Dy1mhhUu6l

Tracer Hand, Friday, 8 October 2021 22:07 (two years ago) link

give him some credit, he's offering a whole .58p per hour more than the Tory minimum wage. If you give him some time he'll soon be pushing for a 11 hour/6 day max week (providing they work very hard and behave themselves).

Wasting their time shouting about refugees. Many of whom commit suicide.

This is a really disturbing ongoing story that @DaaroYouth has been trying to draw attention to for quite a while now. It should be raising serious questions about the asylum system and its ability to protect children. https://t.co/3sMrSbGlUz

Kieth: "The government is awesome"

Morning,

“One of the worst public health failures the UK has ever experienced” is the verdict of a major #Covid report by MPs.

Thousands of deaths could have been prevented with an earlier lockdown and deaths in care homes were “among the worst in Europe”. pic.twitter.com/mstCxdZL75

not interested in any coronavirus what-when-wrongs that don't mention a decade plus of gutting everything from healthcare supply lines to housing standards to employment conditions. i truly believe there's nothing real to be learned without proper reflection on austerity

always a very good idea for a labour leader to do a stupid publicity stunt involving something that he's clearly no good at when he's already become a f/t running gag
