In the current issue we unpack the history of #Britain’s only general #strike, and why it still matters today.

Two million workers struck for nine days in support of locked-out miners, showing extraordinary solidarity but ending in defeat after the #TUC called it off; the government’s preparations and subsequent anti-#union laws weakened #labour power, yet the episode still offers lessons and inspiration for modern labour struggles.

https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/anger-over-tucs-decision-to-draw-close-links-between-pip-and-work-in-timms-review-response/. See: https://dpac.uk.net/2026/05/dpac-response-to-tuc-statement-on-pip-today/. "PIP is paid to people who work & who don’t work. It is not paid on the basis of work - it is paid on the basis of daily living & mobility/getting around. Work does not come into the assessment, nor should it. It may help people to access work, but that is not the primary purpose of it. The #TUC statement suggests that #PIP reform & the Timms review is justified & should involve consideration of work." They aren't & shouldn't!

Cool, so Trump's war which the Yanks are powerless to stop is going to be COVID level crisis for those of us in the UK who did not have a vote in that stupid election and yet suffer the consequences of it.
Cheers.
