Crabbit Slater<p>There's this phrase: </p><p>"Do not attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence" </p><p>This has been stretched to absolute breaking point, particularly in the UK political sphere (and I am sure the world over)- usually to the form of </p><p>"Why are they targetting minorities/starving the disabled/cosying up to big tech/privatising water? Don't they know this is counterproductive to their stated goals of saving money/protecting women/ensuring we can continue to live? </p><p>I'd better explain this in detail to the politicians in question! surely it is just a misunderstanding" </p><p>At this point, the pattern of behavior from these people has been so unwaveringly consistent over the past several decades, and remained unchanged in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary, that it is obviously self-interested malice. </p><p>This is what Starmer, Streeting, Reeves and Kendall* want! If you treat them like hopeless incompetents, you gift them a figleaf for their intentions that they absolutely do not deserve. </p><p>They know what they are doing! They are lying to you!

Steven Heywood<p>I have written to my MP:</p><p>I write almost as much in sorrow as anger.</p><p>I voted for you in the last election and have voted Labour in General Elections since 1979. That last vote for you was very much a personal vote: I had been increasingly dismayed that the Labour Party was more intent on purging members than attacking the excesses of Johnson and Truss and then I could not see that the prospectus offered in the manifesto addressed the real problems faced by a country with threadbare public services and social safety nets and an economy stifled by ageing, poorly maintained infrastructure, stagnating consumer confidence and, of course, Brexit; on the other hand the country urgently needed the Tories out and I thought that your track record should make you a good constituency MP and you'd only had half a term to make your mark, it felt fair to vote for you to have another term.</p><p>1/n</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Labour</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a></p>

Ned Yeung<p>Absolutely amazing news! After Friday's bargaining was held over into Saturday, a settlement was reached for about 4,000 Education Workers in Edmonton and Fort McMurray! About 1,000 workers in Fort McMurray have been on strike for 5 months, and about 3,000 workers in Edmonton for over 2 months, holding the line in the worst freezing cold Alberta can offer.</p><p>CUPE president Rory Gil reflects my feelings for our education workers the best:</p><p>“I’m in awe of the workers in Edmonton and Fort McMurray who stood their ground, in weather as cold as minus 51 degrees, to win a fair contract,” said Gill. “Their fortitude, their determination, and their solidarity won the day.”</p><p>“Education support workers are critical to our school system, and today they finally won the respect they deserve,” said Gill.</p><p>Education workers in Edmonton are expected to return to work on Wednesday or Thursday, after the settlement is ratified by CUPE members on Monday or Tuesday. No details will be shared until the members have had a chance to see them, but I'm sure if the bargaining team is satiated then the members will be too!</p><p>This fight should never have been needed, as having enough respect for our most important educational workers, who support all of our children, to give them a living wage should never be in question.</p><p>Yet here we are, in a fight against Capitalist interests who see human beings as a worthless commodity, and the government who seeks to cut and slash public services to defund and privatize them, handing them over to these same profiteering interests.</p><p>These job actions have not ended. About 2,000 Education workers in Calgary and Parkland county have more recently joined the strike lines and have not yet reached a settlement. Strikes and labour actions are striking up all across the country, as we have reached the point of end-stage capitalism and they have taken far too much from us for far too long. This profiteering and hoarding of wealth by the few is not sustainable for the many who are struggling and unable to live. This exploitation must come to an end, and it will not end without COLLECTIVE ACTION!</p><p>Pubic sector workers across Canada have been organizing, from postal workers to education workers to health workers. Private sector union workers in the United States, home to the world's most powerful monopolies, have been organizing and striking back! If your workplace is not organized, it's time to start. A non-unionized job is an UNSUSTAINABLE job. No matter how much you love your job, it will not love you back. Protect your future.</p><p>In solidarity.</p><p><a href="https://alberta.cupe.ca/2025/03/15/deals-reached-in-three-education-strikes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alberta.cupe.ca/2025/03/15/dea</span><span class="invisible">ls-reached-in-three-education-strikes/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unionstrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unionstrong</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yyc</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ymm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ymm</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>labour</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a></p>
