Exclusive: Workers will get new rights to demand a four-day week in a law tabled by Labour this autumn.
“Compressed hours”, which lets you work a full week’s hours in four days not five, will be in the employee rights package championed by Angela Rayner.
Hi
@mgshanks
, seems to be a mistake here mate. It says in August that you said you'd vote against the two-child cap, but I don't see you amongst the suspended MPs
@JackieDP
I was in a gender neutral cafe toilet in Paris the other day, where I had to share a sink with a man, to wash my hands. Awkward and uncomfortable. He felt the same so stood out of the way to allow me to do so. We were both embarrassed. Please make it stop!
When I was a kid, everybody had condensation and even ice on the inside of their windows, we didn’t have central heating. We mopped it up and carried on.

Lol one of my wee girls has a congenital heart condition so gets regular scans, she also has dextrocardia. One time they brought a student in but never told her this and the poor soul was having a hard time not getting why she could find stuff properly lol
"A mistake was made."
Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy says an "incorrect munition" was used on a refugee camp in central Gaza which killed at least 68 Palestinians, including women and children.

Your original premise said nothing about where the money comes from. You're still a fud with absolutely no sense of self-awareness.
How can Douglas Murray still write for

when he says such incendiary and violent rhetoric about immigrants and Muslims:
“The public will have to go in, & the public will have to sort this out themselves, & it'll be very, very brutal. I don't want
As a fun little escape, I like to dream up a retirement “jobby” (job+hobby) and so far I have:
🔹local news journalist who only writes puff pieces about dog shows and old married couples
🔹museum docent with a flair for the dramatic
🔹gossipy matchmaker
What other ideas you got?
Lol fuck me, at this rate I'm just going to have to block anyone not living in Scotland who feels the need to opine in any way negatively on Scottish independence
NEW: The First Minister has responded to comments made by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk amid their criticism of Scotland's new Hate Crime Act
🗣 'They are right-wing actors of course and I think it's very clear'
Nobody takes this shit seriously, it's all "lol ur team did bad, my team did good, cope and seethe", but I need people to understand that this whole election represents a massive shift to the right in British politics
I unreservedly apologise for saying that John McDonnell shouldn’t “blow a gasket” over the “call off the dogs” comment. I now accept that Mr. McDonnell, as a human being, is not in possession of gaskets or any other mechanical fittings. Now everyone please take a chill pill.
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says that trans women should be banned from women-only spaces.
Asked if trans women (even those with GRCs) have the right to use women's spaces, Starmer said: "No. They don’t have that right. They shouldn’t".
(Via The Times)
"These are not the decisions that I wanted to make, but they are the right decisions to make in difficult circumstances, and to avoid them would be irresponsible".
@RachelReevesMP
on the state of the public finances.
I have 3 children all have been through University the last one graduated this summer. Collectively their student loans exceed £150,000 how is it fair that Scottish families get their education for free?
Further the tax I pay also subsidises the Scots through the Barnett Formula
Actually this is part of why I'm deeply uncomfortable with cis people doing the "lol terf island" patter. Particularly Americans tbh. It's bad enough without you telling these losers that they've won, when they haven't
Another good thing abut transphobes is they genuinely think they represent the majority of folk and are like "well I guess that 99% of people agree with me" and it's like a fun thing here is you don't have to guess! This stuff has been polled and most people are basically cool
The findings of the Cass Review must be implemented in Scotland.
This is important for staff, the young people with gender dysphoria & their families.
The SNP Gov’t must be transparent & give a statement about implementation of the Cass review & the use of puberty blockers.
Prime Minister
@Keir_Starmer
has spoken to the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales, and the First Minister and deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland.
We are resetting our relationship, working together to unite our country.
I try to avoid Rowling's outpourings because her skull is clearly just filled with gravel at this point, but Jesus Christ mate, can't you write normally
Bumped into Labour MP
@JonAshworth
who was canvassing in Leicester. Elderly Muslim uncles who prev supported Jon came out to ask why he abstained from the 🇵🇸ceasefire vote so he resorted to playing victim by saying we were bullying & intimidating him. We have every right to Q you

no offence, but you and your friends are probably completely insufferable if you honestly think you'd fall foul of a pretty milquetoast hate crime law

Hi Mary, could you do me a favour and forward this screenshot to a friend (if you have any) or a family member (if they still talk to you) and come back to me and let me know what they say. TIA
Wonder if the folk who insisted on arguing that Labour are more left wing than the Nats before the election still wish to do so. More SNP politicians voted for the motion than Labour and they only have 9 MPs now. Absurd!
The thing about "kids shouldn't be allowed in pubs" patter is most of the folk doing it are of the view kids are annoying and lol pals I have bad news for you if you think people should be kicked out of pubs simply for being annoying
'This is not a decision I wanted to make'

The reason nobody said anything about the Jimmy Carr "joke" until now is because the only people who'd seen it were his audience, who are the kind of curtain-twitching middle-class bores who unironically hold that opinion
hope they don't do televised debates, it's gonna be the UK's nudest and reddest men asking "are Palestinians human? no, or not at all?" or "can a woman have a penis?" for ninety minutes
It's some laugh how any campaign for an independent Scotland needs to be inspiring or whatever when the UK offer is literally "you'll have a descent into fascism and you'll enjoy it. Also bread is £10 a loaf"
Elias from Gaza practices walking using crutches after he lost his foot in an Israeli strike.
UNICEF has estimated that more than 1,000 children in Gaza have had one or both of their legs amputated since the start of the Israeli offensive until last week.
@TheCruffatin
I mean right. But even without that just bored of folk being like "why does Gaza need this [perfectly normal amount of a perfectly normal thing]". Like what's their implication here lads?
The National’s front pages are a unique treasure. They need to be archived for media historians to consult in the years to come. They make Stalin’s Pravda look objective, impartial and reliable in comparison.
I'm guessing I'm muted by fash lover
@mattforde
, but very amused at him tweeting about how much he loved Nigel Farage back when he was in his 20s lololol
Two things: 1. They're prancing around in dinosaur costumes. This is a ridiculous Internet meme which will mean nothing to the normies they're trying to scare. 2. I now just associate suffragette colours with the most rancid bigotry. Well done everyone!
