    I know that the New Yorker likes to pay in prestige, but pretty galling that they offered a minimum salary lower than either Slate's or Vox's.

    Today, the New Yorker Union is undertaking a twenty-four-hour work stoppage in protest of management's egregious wage proposal. Our statement:

    Actions will speak - but it’s fascinating that the new White House appears more progressive, scientifically rigorous and open-minded on some LGBTQ+ rights issues than not only the UK government but the Labour opposition and the SNP as well. Not that the UK matters, but still.

    What is happening on the estates of is shameful. Huge gaps between rich and poor and devastated life chances all in a city that promotes itself as fair and inclusive. It’s delusional

    East BTN already has an attainment gap of 32% compared to the rest of Brighton & Hove. East BTN is in the top 10% least economically advantaged areas in the country, 43% of children live in poverty. Our fight is urgent, the pace of change is too slow.

    Just thinking about how Corbyn was elected as LOTO in 2015 with the biggest mandate of all time and basically within seconds the papers were calling him a "terrorist lover". Now I'm thinking about how MPs just rejected an amendment outlawing trade deals with genocidial regimes.

    In any American gangster movie, from any era, you’ll see what happens to the deluded pervert club owner who launders for the mob and puffs all macho in the first reel. He screws up once too often, outstays his use, gets put down by mob bosses. It’s not even the denouement.
