On India’s 77th Independence Day, Driven By Poverty, Caste, Millions Of Migrant Workers Live As Modern Slaves

India abolished bonded labour in 1976, but various forms of modern slavery persist, entrapping 11 million, while committees to enforce the law are absent or don’t work, and surveys to identify bonded labour have not been conducted for years. Workers are often beaten, locked up & paid well below minimum wage.

Even the client journalism for Starmer is lacklustre. Just want some honest UK press polling.

"Shock Sun Poll: 91% said they'd happily kick Richkid Sunak in the balls, but only 89% wanted to biff lightweight Sir Kid Starver's bollix. Sir Starver told The Sun "Obviously I'm very pleased with my results, it shows I have the will of the people behind my scrotum." A spokesperson for Number 10 refused to describe Sunak's happysacks stating "they're under examination by boffins"."

Stoat,

Old enough to remember Richard Leonard doing this wee dance right before Starmer offed him and replaced him with Sarwar. Either Starmer's about to off him or Sarwar is about to toady like he's never toadied before. :Limmy_DeeDee: 😆

CMG members at TVO are asking our employer and the government for fair wages, and are saying "NO" to normalizing precarious work at your provincial public broadcaster.

I wonder why Will Hutton's trying to make out the UK is skint? :face_thonking:

#Labour #UKPol #Water

Evening Standard article about Will Hutton colluding with Labour and the water companies to avoid renationalisation - Liv Garfield, the boss of FTSE 100 water giant Severn Trent, is trying to bring a taskforce of utility bosses together with the Labour party in a bid to head off the threat of nationalisation. In an email sent to other utility CEOs which she describes as “sensitive” and “highly confidential”, the £4 million a year Garfield asks them to join an “off-the-record roundtable” with Will Hutton, the Observer journalist best known for books critical of capitalism including The State We’re In. Her move comes as water companies face the threat of being re-nationalised, decades after they were privatised as one of Margaret Thatcher’s free market reforms. She writes: “Whilst it is clear Labour will not include nationalisation in its next manifesto, they are also not keen on entering into the election race championing the status quo. The leadership thinks there is room for improvement and, politically, there is significant pressure to ‘do something’ about utilities.” She adds: “One idea we believe might be attractive to the Labour leadership is re-purposing utilities and utility networks into a new breed of declared social purpose companies – companies that remain privately owned, who absolutely can (and should) make a profit, but ones that also have a special duty to take a long-term view.”

Re. #Labour have abandoned us Vs. Tactical voting

It's interesting the reactions I'm getting. Most responses agree that Labour's bullying isn't something they can vote for.

The thing with the tactical voting stance is that it's almost blaming people who refuse to vote Labour - thus splitting the left vote - on a #Tory win -- but not blaming the Tory voters themselves or the #press that dupes them.

We have a situation of informed people disagreeing with each other...

and dupes being dupes.

The people saying we should all vote #Labour at the next #GeneralElection to get the #Tories out are also saying they are OK with being lied to from a party that has expelled all traces of left wing politics, is racist, misogynist, against workers' rights, starves children, and is tolerant of in-party bullying.

They are also OK with a party taking advantage of FPTP to move politics rightwards and further disenfranchise the electorate.

Because that's what a vote for Labour will say.
