Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

‘Professional buck-passers’: why the excoriating Grenfell report was right to damn the architects. Great article by ⁦@ollywainwright⁩ - on culpability and education. We need to learn from this and never let it happen again. #grenfell #grenfelltower theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

‘Professional buck-passers’: why the excoriating Grenfell report was right to damn architects

The ultimate responsibility for the tower’s safety lay with its architect, said the 1,700-page report, which highlighted a ‘widespread failure among the profession’. Why are so many architects now...

But…but…I thought blokes were the logical, hard data, rational gender…and us chicky babes the hysterical ones…! (Great column by ⁦@vanbadham⁩ ) theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Some people are desperately averse to hard data – the gender pay gap is no exception | Van Badham

Tory Shaun Bailey is a MISOGYNIST #SexistShaun - the Jingle & Mingle Partygate apologist "Carol Vorderman tries to be a serious political commentator. But if you look at her on instagram it's all pictures of her bum(s) and her boobs. She can't be both." he grunted on GB News last wk. So Shaun thinks that women who wear lycra in the gym shouldn't be allowed a political opinion.... or I assume a vote! Failed Mayoral candidate #SexistShaun was made a Lord last year. Yet another Tory honour for dishonour Pls RT #SexistShaun

Australian Unions@unionsaustralia24 Oct 2023
Breaking News: Unions have voted to ban engineered stone by next year. That means no union member will handle it. It’s now up to state and federal governments to step up, draw a line in the sand and ban it once and for all. It will save lives.
