205,000 job losses? But the UK has full employment, doesn't it?

Read this, then decide.

(Please share this thread)
amp.businessinsider.com/unemployment-i…
The unemployment statistics are calculated using an international standard, but successive UK governments have "gamed" the system by promoting the creation of insecure and underpaid jobs. This is euphemistically called "a flexible labour market".
The reality in the UK is massive poverty among even people in work. Children are going to school hungry. There is growing demand at food banks. People with jobs are living rough. This is not a labour market that delivers the needs of workers, and it has to change.
Meanwhile there is Brexit, which has already cost the UK 205,000 jobs - most of them full-time, well paid, skilled jobs. And that's before we even leave - and before the big manufacturers execute their contingency plans.
See facebook.com/BrexitWrecksIt for full details of all these jobs lost. You will find there an explanation of how Brexit is impacting employment, a spreadsheet listing all the job losses, and journalistic evidence supporting every claim.

Ignore it if you prefer. But no job is safe.

Have you noticed all those "I'm so excited about stopping free movement and helping the rich that I've joined the Tories!" tweets?

Or all those "I'm so inspired by the prospect of a jobs-first me-too Brexit that I've joined the Labour Party!" tweets?

On the other hand...
How many tweets like this are you seeing every day?
In my view it's not the messenger, it's the message - a message of hope in a voice of clear reason. No one wakes up in the morning and says "you know, I think I'll become a Lib Dem". But when everyone else is doubling down on bullshit, it could be the way to go.

It's not just Rolls Royce... Here's what we can conclude (short #thread):

theguardian.com/business/2018/…
1. Although no manufacturing jobs are being moved, the EU's aviation body will take the place of the CAA. Clearly this is a work transfer.

2. UK aviation companies are showing they lack confidence in the UK government to provide safeguards.

...
3. There is turbulence ahead as aerospace manufacturers weigh where to invest. They operate closely integrated supply chains, so expect them to move as one body.

4. Much depends what Rolls, Bombardier and Airbus do. They will take tens of thousands of jobs with them if they go.

Some ideas for future referendums:

> A pay rise for everyone

> Bring back hanging

> Free beer for Brits

> Chips in real newspaper

> Scrap income tax

> Elect doctors and teachers

Can anyone spot the problem with referendums?
Let's have a referendum to have more old music in the charts. Everyone knows that old music is better, so kids should be grateful in time.
Or, to take a darker turn, a referendum to confiscate the property of some unpopular minority group and use it to reduce the taxes on the rest of us?

Wouldn't that be democratic?

You see, there are good reasons why referendums are not a central feature of our constitution.

(THREAD) Since #ExposeChristianSchools is trending. A group of high school students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky were on a field trip to the March for Life rally and did THIS to an elderly indigenous man.

This student was mocking this elderly man, "Uncle Nate" from the Omaha Nation, at the Indigenous People March.
An alternate angle is even worse, it shows how the entire field trip were surrounding and mocking this man. This is absolutely disgusting and appears to have been done with consent of the school

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

I think @GarShehu should be sacked.

I think he should lose his job because he has singlehandedly DELIBERATELY discredited arguably the most trustworthy parastatal (@nigerianstat) in @mbuhari’s admin.

#Thread
Statistician General @sgyemikale has FOUGHT tooth and nail tondefend his integrity and the integrity of the data his organization publishes.

He has clashed with partisans and non-partisans alike. He does not discriminate. If you question his data, you’re toast!
@sgyemikale fearlessly reported the fall into recession, and just as fearlessly reported when Nigeria climbed out of it.

He published damning unemployment figures that left Buhari with egg on his face; so much so that the FG refused to fund the publication of subsequent reports.

Aadhaar through the ages.

A #thread -
Nilekani: Let there be an ID that is voluntary in nature & would prove to be an empowerment tool for millions!

UPA: Cool. Like a citizenship ID?

NN: Nope. Just an ID. No rights will be granted... But eventually... all citizen rights will be dependent on it! Get it?

UPA:
Activists: Um I think you need to create a law. This is kinda big. YUGE project. YUGE

UPA: Let there be an ID which will be created by a random attached office in the planning commission!

Activist: Wait. What?

UPA: Oh hey, Planning Comm is doing a lot of PLANNING for this, OK?

(THREAD) In this thread, a longtime criminal attorney analyzes one of the most pressing questions in American life today: how long will the Russia probe go on?

Read on for an answer, and please share this thread widely.
1/ The President and his Congressional and administration allies recently initiated a national campaign to convince America the Russia probe is nearly done.

It's not.

Ty Cobb, one of the President's attorneys, is the source of much of the misinformation. thehill.com/homenews/admin…
2/ As has now been widely reported, Cobb told Trump the Russia probe was nearly over to calm him. First he said the probe would be over by now; then, he switched his prediction to soon after Thanksgiving; then, he changed it to December; then, he changed it to "early next year."
