Thank you Bristol North East Labour members for selecting me to be your parliamentary candidate. To represent Labour in the area I’m from, know and love is the greatest honour and I’m looking forward to getting on the doorstep to campaign across our new constituency.

This is pretty scary, I think one read of it could put folk like @electoralreform at risk theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Oh dear
Bandcamp employees say they've been locked out of critical systems and unable to do their jobs since Epic announced it was selling. This will hurt Bandcamp Fridays where 100% of the profits go to artists. They're bargaining over layoffs and severance. It's an epic mess.

The PPE cover-up. New evidence suggests Douglas Barrowman hid the ownership of a company that received £200m in PPE contracts and is now being investigated for fraud. A thread:

Every single word Andrew says is factual and he expresses the sense of despair so many of us on the frontline feel… This govt do not deserve to be guardians of our NHS! Pls RT the hell out of this!

Banks can park their spare money at the Bank of England and now earn 5.25%. Some of that money is your deposits on which they are paying you 1%. The big four High St banks each made ~£20 million profit every single day from 1 Jan to 30 June.
The UK financial services sector will be £2 billion better off in the next year as a result of today’s decision to increase the Bank of England base rate by 0.25%. They did nothing to earn it. The UK now looks like a giant welfare system for its banks and bankers.
