@ACORNunion will be on the picket lines all week in support of our @RMTunion brother and sisters on the railway.
An injury to one is an injury to all. A win for rail workers is a blow struck for all workers fighting for decent conditions. #ToryRailStrikes
Victory to the RMT!

Sidney Poitier. What a landmark actor. One of a kind. What a beautiful, gracious, warm, genuinely regal man. RIP, Sir. With love.

Banks like HSBC are - quite literally - fuelling this crisis. Their actions are causing the death and displacement of people right now. How can anyone keep a straight face and help greenwash these bloodstained companies? Actors need to consider their role in all this.

I love Richard Ayoade, but I've just seen him do an advert for HSBC in which he says: "climate change doesn't do borders. If the sea level rises here, it rises around the world". Since January this year, HSBC has poured $5.3bn into new fossil fuel projects.
