Lisa Nandy on Radio 4 womansplaceuk.org/2020/02/13/lis…
"This morning Lisa Nandy MP was interviewed by Justin Webb on Radio 4’s Today programme.

We were astonished to hear the comments she made about Woman’s Place UK which we absolutely refute...
"We have decided not to pursue legal action at this stage. We believe the labour movement should try, instead, to resolve differences through respectful debate. We will, however, be monitoring comments made about WPUK & its founders carefully throughout the leadership campaign...
"We would like to thank everyone for your solidarity and support in challenging the spiteful falsehoods in circulation.

We all need to work to ensure that democratic debate and discussion is not closed down and that women’s voices are not silenced...
Thank you for speaking up. Please see here for our guidance on organising public meetings... womansplaceuk.org/a-womans-place…
Please contact Labour Women’s Declaration for actions by women organising within Labour. facebook.com/LabourWomensDe…
We at Woman’s Place UK stand by our record.

We challenge @UKLabour to stand by its own policies and principles. #ExpelMe

We are @WomansPlaceUK - a message for @UKLabour from our co-founders @TybilAlper @ruthserwotka & @kiritunks womansplaceuk.org/2020/02/11/we-…
@womansplaceuk @UKLabour @TybilAlper @ruthserwotka @kiritunks "We are the co-founders of Woman’s Place UK, a campaign established to ensure that women’s voices are heard and our sex based rights upheld. We are members of the Labour Party which recently asserted its support for sex based rights in the election manifesto...
@womansplaceuk @UKLabour @TybilAlper @ruthserwotka @kiritunks We are life-long campaigners for equality & justice. We are extremely concerned by the scurrilous mischaracterisation of WPUK as a ‘transphobic organisation’ & ‘hate group’ by some individuals & groups in the Labour Party, including leading figures in current leadership election.

Thanks to @jennirsl for this piece in the Times thetimes.co.uk/article/politi… So many women feel let down by politicians failure to listen to, respect, or act on women's concerns. Misogyny thrives to the shame of our democracy. #WomenVote
@jennirsl Here is our own statement on the failure of politicians across the spectrum - A dereliction of duty womansplaceuk.org/2019/09/27/pol… #WomenVote
@jennirsl Here is our statement in response to claims by @Conservatives about the meetings they say they had with us to discuss our concerns womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-meetings-… #WomenVote

THREAD: Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to contact Marks & Spencer re their change of policy on women-only changing rooms. There have been over 5,000 views of our model letter. We hope you found it useful. womansplaceuk.org/2019/11/03/dea…
Thanks to everyone who has forwarded the standard response they got suggesting a real lack of regard for women’s concerns. It’s one thing to implement a policy change without consulting your core customer base; it’s quite another to ignore that base when they raise concerns.
We have heard that M&S staff who are on the shop floor are uneasy and uncomfortable with the policy change. They will be the ones dealing with any issues that arise. Were they consulted about the policy change (which will certainly impact on their working conditions)?

#JUSTIN: Video of a train derailment at the @UnionPacific rail yard in Dupo, Ill. This happened around 12:30 p.m. No word on any injuries or what the train was carrying.
@UnionPacific From @UnionPacific: Train was being built for departure at the time of the derailment, which caused a tank car to catch fire. Initial information indicates that the tank car contains a flammable liquid called methyl isobutyl ketone. It is typically used as a solvent.
@UnionPacific @dupo196 has been given evacuation orders due to the train derailment in Dupo. All students and staff are being transported to Columbia High School. Parents must sign out students at the front door.

I’m an accountant supporting small local businesses, Brexit will really harm, I’ve done a ton of research trying to understand Brexit. Along the way I’ve discovered some circles of self interest, I would like to share some of these with you. (thread)
1) Here are the Barclay brothers, they own the famously Pro Brexit Telegraph, the Spectator and the Ritz Hotel to name a few. They avoid paying tax, so much so that they moved to an island in the channel & are constantly trying to avoid tax. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-207294…
2) They also don’t like their paper to report on people not paying tax, here is their chief political commentator, Peter Oborne (Brexiter) resigning over the Telegraph's reduction in reporting standards and influence of advertisers re HSBC scandal. channel4.com/news/peter-obo…

21 Lessons My Mentor Dr. Emmanuel Ojeagbase Taught Me

Continued.

Today's installment is Lesson 3: Ask For What You Are Worth

Let's go.
So one day Dr. Ojeagbase called me to his office, where he asked me to write a salesletter for a new training program his organization SADC (Success Attitude Development Centre) was running.

Ronald: Ok Sir. I'll get to it immediately.

Dr. Ojeagbase : How much do you charge?
Now it was my second or third time meeting the man. I was in awe of his person and now he was asking me to write for him!

I didn't want to "offend" him by charging too much and spoil this new relationship, so while trying not to piss in my trousers, I stammered...

@HowShouldWeVote @RoyMotteram @RemainLies_ @Fenmonkey @CanaryAndy @EmbersBrexit @trawlerhorse @JohnMcGlynn @DeborahMeaden This could take a while and I'm quite busy, but here goes
1. Donald Tusk, said, “Western political civilisation will be destroyed if the UK voted 'Leave'.” [Bild, 13 June 2016] I may be wrong but I think it is safe to say western political civilisation has not been destroyed.
@HowShouldWeVote @RoyMotteram @RemainLies_ @Fenmonkey @CanaryAndy @EmbersBrexit @trawlerhorse @JohnMcGlynn @DeborahMeaden 2.Punishment Budget. George Osborne [15 June 2016] predicted £30bn tax rises and IMMEDIATE spending cuts would be implemented. To date, no changes to the planned tax rates or public spending have been implemented.
@HowShouldWeVote @RoyMotteram @RemainLies_ @Fenmonkey @CanaryAndy @EmbersBrexit @trawlerhorse @JohnMcGlynn @DeborahMeaden 3.Brexit would cost every household £4,300. UK Treasury [18 April 2016] predicted that every household would lose between £2,600 and £5,200 a year following Brexit. Their (& IMF) latest prediction now confirms that even on WTO status the losses would be maybe a £100 or so

#COMMENTS on the @Airtel_Ug @K2Telecom endorsement agreement.
Is the Airtel/K2 transaction a merger or acquisition? What does it mean for K2 customers? Has @UCC_Official approved this transaction?
The Airtel/K2 transaction is neither a merger nor acquisition. It's a brand endorsement arrangement, were K2 entered into agreement allowing @Airtel_Ug to use her Trademark, Brand name (K2 Telecom) & Resources to market @K2Telecom products & services to customers @UCC_Official
Under the Brand Endorsement Agreement, K2 customers will continue enjoying the same or similar services with a different code prefix (0708). The customer migration will be voluntary. Customers will exercise their contractual right to either move to Airtel or not.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
