“The amazing thing, Minister, is #Google agreed to embed their systems across #Whitehall for free! They even offered to train every civil servant how to exclusively use their tools - also for free! We just have to offer our time, our data and access to our offices, workflows and systems. Nothing! It’s the deal of the century.”

#ukgovernment’s Google deal reeks of PFI and crack dealers. Sensing this might follow everyone in #Labour responsible for it for the rest of their careers.

SEAFARERS Union RMT called on the government to stop P&O Ferries profiteering from public funds.

https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/government-must-act-over-pando-ferries/

The P&O accounts were published nearly ten months late. The company has already broken the law by firing and replacing seafarer RMT members with foreign agency crew who are paid under £5 an hour with no protection, working a minimum of 12 hour days, seven days per week for months in UK waters.

For the Railways Bill to truly deliver for us, #UKgovernment must:
Introduce new duties for the railway to benefit passengers, communities and the environment, and scrap the wasteful competition laws ...
Say no to cherry picking by private companies wanting to run new routes on the railway, ...
Turn Transport Focus into a membership organisation for passengers,...so that our voices can be part of the design of the services we use
Launch Great British Trains to begin bringing rolling stock (the trains themselves) into public ownership ...
Create one publicly owned ticket retailer ...
Streamline the rail timetable, adopting lessons from the best railway in the world, Switzerland, ..., and
Invest in rail - every £1 creates £2.50 in economic benefits.

"#PalestineAction spraying paint is not terrorism. As ministers abuse their powers, I feel a duty to speak out" — Juliet Stevenson (married to a #Jewish man whose mother was a refugee from Hitler’s Vienna)

A powerful article.

"Labelling these as terrorism only serves to deepen the #UKgovernment ’s complicity in the #warCrimes being committed in #Palestine"

"…as if the skin has been ripped off the face of humanity to reveal terrifying depths of sadism and depravity."

the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Provention and Human Security have published a red flag alert on the behaviour of the UK government/media towards the trans/intersex communities

some direct quotes:

No denial or omission in law can erase the concrete reality that trans and intersex people have always and will always exist. Attempts to erase them as a class constitutes an intent to commit genocide.

All of the actions described above fit neatly into the 9th Pattern of Genocide: Denial and/or Prevention of Identity.

We see evidence of genocidal intent and actions targeting these communities

#femisorry tears apart the #hypocrisy of the #ukgovernment feeling sad feelings about #BobVylan : https://youtube.com/watch?v=IpHwIViG4QI

Maybe actively enabling #genocide should be a bigger concern than someone singing a song about it?

#brecht updated?

The (dis?)solution - after 'The Solution' by #bertoltbrecht - written in #eastberlin in 1953.

After the discussions on 27th June staff from #downingstreet distributed flyers in #whitehall saying that the #parliamentary #labourparty had lost the confidence of the #ukgovernment which it could only regain by redoubled effects. Would it not be easier if the #government were to dissolve the #parliamentary #LaɓourParty and elect/select another?

The #UKgovernment is expected to bring forward a motion today in parliament to proscribe Palestine action, this is utter and inconsistent nonsense. See if you agree and if you do, send this to your MP, asking them to read it and oppose the motion in the house.

I didn't realise that this was the first time that a UK government cabinet has been made up entirely of individuals from outside the private school system.
