Heating oil suppliers are using the war in Iran to rip off families in rural communities. Ed Miliband needs to get a grip on price gouging by suppliers who are taking advantage of vulnerable families. My letter to Ed Miliband👇🏾

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. There are rumours it is considering introducing a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. This would be disastrous. It would mean handing the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free, to train their models on. In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out. To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government. It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored. People's work is not the government's to give away. If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

@SaraThornton1 @TfL @chilternrailway Had the same thing heading back from a gig in Camden on Monday night. It’s the handling of it that makes it so much worse. As you say, no communication/ announcement / info on app. 😡

Absolute bloody chaos at Harrow-on-the-Hill as @TfL as #MetLine goes down again… no @chilternrailway running either. Absolutely no announcements from staff, no clue what’s going on, all boards wrong, just a rumour that a passenger was told by a staff member to find an uber.

Tim Dawson, NUJ freelance organiser, said: “Members often tell me they have not been paid for a year, or are not paid at all for significant work that is commissioned but not used. This consultation provides a golden opportunity for freelances to raise these kinds of issues.”

MASSIVE NEWS!!!! #ExcludedUK are absolutely delighted to announce that we have been asked to contribute to an impact video, to be played at the Covid Inquiry at the start of the Module 9 Economic Response hearings. This is huge for our members and the other 3.8 million excluded UK taxpayers who were left without fair and equal Covid-19 Financial Support, some received zero! 40+ suicides later and complete financial devastation for too many, the pandemic is still not over for us! This is an amazing opportunity to get our stories heard by a wider audience... and hopefully, with the help of our 'Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support' APPG, once step closer to righting the wrongs of the pandemic. This is will obviously not bring back those who we have lost along this fight, but hopefully will bring comfort to the loved ones of those who felt no other way out. DID YOU GET LITTLE OR NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT DURING COVID? Were you excluded from fair and equal Covid-19 financial support? If so, join some of the other 3.8 million UK taxpayers who were, as we campaign for this scandal to be put right: bit.ly/3UunLTY Dutifully paid in, deliberately left out! Lives & livelihoods ruined! 40+ suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides! Website: excludeduk.org Facebook Group: bit.ly/3UunLTY Sign up to our mailing list: bit.ly/4bdpB0U Justgiving donations link: bit.ly/4gpBJzp Easyfundraising link: bit.ly/4plPqTV There are over 20 categories of exclusions including: ·New starters ·New Businesses ·PAYE freelancers ·Newly self-employed ·Those denied furlough ·Directors paid in Dividends ·Directors paid PAYE Annually ·Made redundant before 19 Mar 2020 ·Directors of Companies not in Profit ·Self-employed with +£50k trading profits ·Businesses ineligible for Business Grants ·Those in maternity/parental/adoption leave ·Those earning less than 50% income from self-employment ·Those whose personal circumstances have affected entitlement to support e.g. pensions, bereavement allowance, carer’s allowance, students, armed forces veterans… and more… ExcludedUK are asking for: (1) An apology from government so this injustice is recognised and assurance that it will never happen again. (2) Parity of support (3) Acknowledgement of loss of earnings/profit and consequential loss.

I love that @GiveBloodNHS now tell you where your blood has gone - in the weeks after your donation. Mine was taken down the M4 and M5 to Exeter apparently With O negative blood I try and donate as often as is allowed. If you've never done it - give it a try

@ObsNewReview @carolecadwalla Be proud. So sad to see the UK’s oldest paper dismantled and another bastion of our once-great press lose so many great journalists.

@themediamentor There are others who ran with it too. Hearing from colleagues it might have originated from a respected news agency… possibly AI issues? All a sad indictment of the lack of experience / fact-checking etc

Hideous scenes in the White House. We must continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight to defeat Putin and get their country and freedom back. There is no other serious path.

Literally absolutely everywhere I look now, there are journalistic misspellings. I don’t care if the phrase “In my day” makes me sound as old as the hills - I’d have been carpeted for this IN MY DAY. Names are particularly important. Fix this @hellomag? Chiwetel/Chitiwel
