Andy Burnham to make it harder for people to claim benefits, vows to ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare bill. Silence on corporate welfare. Work doesn't pay enough: 37.8% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. Women will be hardest hit. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Microsoft want to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. There's still time to stop the final council sign-off. Please add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

I've just learned that Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain.

Andy Burnham wants me to be happy with a £2 bus fare, but I want an end to Israeli genocide.

💔 A cry from the heart of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya's wife: "Save my husband before we lose him!" A doctor of humanity, whose only "crime" was saving lives. Today, he is the one who needs the world's help. #SaveTheDoctors #FreeDrHossamAbuSafiya

Shocked by that Boy George song tbh. It is worse than terrible. It is an insult. Hope he got well paid for it, because he has just lost the overwhelming majority of his fan base (or at least, all those who don't support genocide). Genuinely shocked.
