Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage. If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

To be clear... I'm all for small business (an owner myself) but to think that someone should have to live in poverty so that your business can exist is... damn... I don't even have words for it.

My Autistic, ADHD brain has such an inconsistent relationship with sound. Sometimes it needs silence, other times it craves loud music, or quiet, background noise. Sometimes it begs me to play the same song on repeat for hours and other times it wants a new song every minute.

Rishi Sunak is the UK’s richest prime minister (he sits on twice as much wealth as the fucking king…) and he is telling working people they should be satisfied with their low & unfair pay

A man worth £760m telling nurses forced to use food banks they need take a pay cut in the national interest. Almost beyond belief.

I'm 36. This is my honest advice for people in their 20s: 1. Make decisions your future self will thank you for, not resent you for. 2. Somebody you know and love is going to die within the next 10 years. It could even be you. So live accordingly.

The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥 Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸 They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to. RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊
