THREAD: UK BUSINESSES 🧵 Did you know that here in the UK, many of the products we use every day depend on #ForcedLabour?⚠️ Yes, in nearly every country, people are pushed into forced labour to make our cotton, coffee, make-up, mobile phones and more. #ModernSlavery (1/8)

Happy birthday to UCL's spiritual founder Jeremy Bentham who was born #OnThisDay in 1748, who believed that education should be made widely available.🎈🎉 Read this article in which he is mentioned for possibly defining “mesology” 👉 bit.ly/3uSw5A2

It comes to a point where there aren’t words. Unelected head of state uses immense wealth to help ensure immunity of son accused of sexual assault by a woman who he met through the world’s most famous paedophile.

I pray that, one day, from this great crisis, a better world will emerge. A world where international law means something. Where no one, whether in Russia, the US, the UK or elsewhere, will dare to wage a war of aggression again, as they’ll know they will be held to account.

This is arguably the single most important image if you want to understand Britain’s political culture. Billionaires own media companies to shape public opinion in favour of their interests, not to reflect it.

Anyone claiming wages are driving up inflation is lying to you. It's booming company profits that's driving up prices. Tax profits - and give workers the pay rise they deserve.

The "Darwinian system" line was really telling on himself. Politics isn't public service for these guys. It's all a personal struggle for survival, where you kill the weak through natural selection and pass down the gains to your offspring.

We commend Mo Farah for speaking out about being trafficked and kept in domestic servitude. We hope that his story will inspire those suffering at the hands of criminals who exploit the vulnerable, to escape and seek support to rebuild their lives. medaille-trust.org.uk/news/article/m…

The Tories never miss an opportunity to make it harder for ordinary people to come together to stand up for themselves. They attacks strikes and they attack protests because they know change is coming. People have had enough of everything going up apart from their pay.

During the 1980s, the queen tried to stop Princess Diana's work in HIV advocacy, telling her to do something "more pleasant." But Diana ignored her, instead using her platform to tackle stigma and offer comfort to terrified people sick with what was then a terminal illness.
