📊Tory leadership election race: the story so far from their Twitter output: Economic issues dominate their expressions. Over 1/3 of tweets were economy-related (106 of 308). NHS, climate and other categories are basically nowhere. Only 1 mention of climate change (Sunak)

"Microwork is hidden & fragmented in a way that makes collective action particularly difficult. Like other employers in the gig economy, those who employ microworkers have gone to great lengths to avoid classifying their workers as employees & to prevent them acting in concert."

I have a short piece in the latest @LRB on old and new forms of hidden work, from meatpacking to microwork, and how we might think about what’s owed to workers in those sectors lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/

Looks like we’re in for several days of Tory gang warfare. Might be an enjoyable spectator sport but keep an eye on the pound & you’ll see what damage is inflicted by having an unstable government with a PM that cannot be trusted to uphold any deal or international treat he signs
