Hearing from @donnamclean.bsky.social at #spycops inquiry is a reminder of the tactics used by #police gang members who exploited women for sexual gratification & to shore up their cover identities w/ trusted people. More about Donna's experience here: policespiesoutoflives.org.uk/our-stories/...
Worrying data from @workfoundation.bsky.social
Remote working plays a critical role in enabling Disabled people to be in work, progress their careers and importantly maintain their financial independence. This is particularly critical for women who are more likely to be disabled and to be carers.
What he really means by "unregulated" is that women are allowed to select their sexual partners, & what he means by "economy" is that women are having sex for pleasure rather than survival.
Exactly. The real purpose was always power. Rape was merely the social glue.
Women in business are all too familiar with the ways men use sexualised environments - lap dancing clubs, alcohol-soaked happy hours, Hooters - to create gated decision-making & networking spaces that we are excluded from. Epstein's child rape island is unique only in scale, not in substance.

Today, we launch a new campaign: Double Injustice.
Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm were killed by the same violent partner. On both occasions, the police knew about risks to their lives but did not take any effective action, and both times the result was the woman’s death.
Both deaths were preventable.
When we published our Feminist Green New Deal in 2022, we made a clear call: democratise ownership of our energy system.
Since then, the cost-of-living crisis has deepened, with soaring energy bills at its heart.
The Local Power Plan is a major step forward toward fairer, community-owned energy.
Sexual violence can affect anyone.

“Violence against women & girls is perpetrated by men of all backgrounds- the vast majority of rapes are perpetrated by someone known to the victim."
Co opting inaccurate & racist anti-migration rhetoric hurts all women, especially Black & brown women.

Oh! That’s a different story altogether. Have a good trip!!

Women were engineered out of the workforce. It wasn't an accident. The myth of the housewife as some natural and eternal state of being is one that drives me up the wall every time.

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

Still, handy to know that a vote for @greenparty.org.uk is a vote for the gambling industry lobby, which makes a profit £14b a year. Ladbrokes do things like paying £1m to the victims of a thief who had a gambling addiction in return for not being reported to the gambling commission. Cool, cool.
Does @greenparty.org.uk have even the faintest idea how much hardship is caused by and how many suicides are linked to gambling? Extraordinarily irresponsible
Right 👍
What if we enlarged the human element in 2026, refusing to subordinate it to process and protocol?
