    I’m sure Blair & co, (Labour’s Keir Starmer* now) as he did the EU Working Hours Directive, on working hours will undermine any attempt to reduce the working week.

    If it just means a 12 hour working day then what’s the point? With a 12 hour day, most workers would need 3 days off simply to recover!
    Regardless of the environmental issue! #CapitalismKills
    Abolish the wages system!

    Just seen this…The Times has a paywall..

    The veteran BBC journalist John Simpson broke down on air yesterday as he described millions of Afghans facing starvation.

    The media have virtually ignored starving Afghans ..whereas, eating 24-carat gold steaks is (great) news!

    The Afghan people need our support now more than ever. Currently, 1 in 3 people are hungry and 2 million children are malnourished.
    With drought, pandemic, and conflict, the food security situation will continue to worsen; and hunger will rise.

  • Unfortunately, this news has come at the time of the International break. Not unsurprisingly Premier League clubs have raised concerns. Their cosy ‘closed shop’ arrangement by the likes of Manchester United* Financial Fair Play (FFP) (*using their position on UEFA) to stop wealthy owners buying a Premier League club, then financial doping them, another Chelsea. Lay in tatters. *Irony is lost on idiots.
    Manchester United couldn’t careless about the then “level playing field”, that’s exactly what their owner did, opening the floodgate! Manchester United didn’t care about the so-called ‘level playing field’ being smashed, because it benefited them, now they’re crying because the very thing they did (Financial doping)has come back to bite them.
    Schadenfreude then.
    We saw this recently with Manchester United fans (seemingly with the aid of staff) run riot on the pitch at Old Trafford, calling for the heads of the owners, for not investing in the team…the reason for the teams silverware drought.
    The owners responded with offers of talks with fan representatives, and pledging spending money on the team. Singling their intent by buying Jadon Sancho, for £50m and Raphaël Varane for £34.2m

Pleased that this month’s Socialist Standard covers The Tigray Tragedy

The Tigray Tragedy
‘Ethiopia has 110 million people. If the tensions in Ethiopia would result in a widespread civil conflict that goes beyond Tigray, Syria will look like child’s play by comparison’ – Jeffrey Feltman, US special envoy for the Horn of Africa.

Just seen this:Wayne Couzens sentencing live Sarah Everards killer in Court for her kidnap , rape and murder.

Couzens nickname in the Police force was “the rapist” by officers who worked with him!

To add, a number of people want her gone…..seems she has another 2 years as Head of the Met. Because many believe a lot of the failings of the Met have been on her watch/2nd in command!
Levi Bellfield – serial killer
The Steven Lawrence Case…
And numerous other serious high profile cases of Police failings, leading to a scores of victims!
