Lots of people responding to this piece saying, it’s simple, don’t treat those who are overtly racist. I hear this point, however that doesn’t tackle the issue and in the instances where husbands speak on behalf of their wives, it is the woman who suffers. Multilayered issues
Charles EP Murphy@cepmurphy.bsky.social · 2d agonews.sky.com/story/nhs-st... stereotypically this has been seen as Old People, but not only would the old people of now have often been born post-Windrush, lot of this will be younger people who've always lived in a diverse Britain.

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 4d agoImportant, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

> As a result of today's discussion, no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive > Some things are simply too important to sell. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. And so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.
Nadine Batchelor-Hunt@nadinebh.bsky.social · 7d agoThis statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

What if we’ve been investing in the wrong infrastructure? - Community Resources
Every part of our health and care system is being asked to do more with less. We redesign services. We integrate teams. We improve pathways. We recruit differently. We ask staff to work ever harder.
