When you get down to the #deliveroo driver's shelter in Victoria Park #Bristol, you'll appreciate what the #gigeconomy's exploration of #workers looks like....
Once you've read this I'm sure you will not begrudge me using the term #classwar!
You all know I like a good #economics chart, so here's ten(!) with a discussion of each from Richard Partington (Guardian)....many of these will be familiar from my previous posts (if in different form from my usual FT ones), but this piece does a good job of bringing it all together - I would say 'enjoy' but there's little to enjoy here, just the relentless pain of #Tory economic wrecking, mismanagement & #classwar
"It sickens me that it is the spectacle that has finally moved the #people of the #world to listen to #Palestinians about our struggle. Somehow, we needed to have our guts on display, disemboweled on the ground, before our #humanity can be proven by vivisection."
