Strikers at Islington 6th Form college.
Educators working in non-academised sixth form colleges have been on strike calling on Government to ensure they receive an above-inflation pay award consistent with the rest of the profession.
Further strikes on 3 and 4 December. @neunion.bsky.social

Ridiculous BBC headline:
"Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing".

Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy.

Just blame workers wanting decent pay.

Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing
Borrowing was £17.4bn last month, the second highest October figure since monthly records began in 1993.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It's fairly safe to say that many of the world's problems can be traced back to one major issue: inequality.

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax.

While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax.

The ultimate elitist BS.

This is a ridiculous article, downplaying legitimate concerns. The piece does not mention Streeting’s extensive donations from those associated with the private health sector🚨
