Are you planning to #DownTools this summer.

If you're stuck for reading ideas, we asked some of the attendees at our Awards and Summer Party for their all-time favourites.

Which ones would you add to your list?

Ineos out. Wilcox out. Glazers out. Amorim in.

Ineos are no better than leeching greedy Glazers, always firing managers which increases player power. Lazy idle players have downtools under every manager since Fergie, this will only increase that. We need new owners. FFS/

My team often has to pull extra hours due to submission deadlines etc.

I always give time in lieu (as does my boss). And the beauty of working from home is we don't to get HR involved. We just downtools early or disappear for a day

I guess it depends if he downtools for it or if it’s just a test of the waters. This iteration of the club will take the money but not at a discount we may have in the past (that’s what I’m telling myself)

It's Friday afternoon on the last Bank Holiday weekend until Christmas. Time to #DownTools and indulge.

Just give me a steel [strung] guitar and a glass of wine...

You need to withdraw labour next, downtools, walkout, hit their profits, CEO bonuses, stock prices. The wealthy will soon kick out Trump from the inside when it affects them.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - you're the rectum. #ShutDown #DownTools #EpsteinFiles #ETTD

Calling it, too nice to work. #downtools

With the deepest respect I’ve decided it’s only right I take the rest of the day off to reflect #downtools

Sun’s out. Weekend start, I’m calling it #downtools

True. But the fact that far fewer daily deaths in the Ukraine are seen as something different - a more urgent/acceptable issue to raise - shows how broad the paradigm is. It encompasses holocaust guilt, racism, fossil-fuel dependence. Hard to parse for most, let alone act on. #NoBAU #downtools

Not entirely sure how Trump gets away with this. And even more surprised that Musk has so much say. He’s not a politician, statesman or even educated in global politics. Every oligarch is at it. #DownTools #WhatsStoppingUs
