London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.1 million people in 2024. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.1 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the centuries-long host of the national government and parliament. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

UWU #UnitedWorkersUnion delegate Nia led workers in the first farm strike in decades.

Farm workers at #Hussey fought for and won weekend penalty rates and a 6.5% pay rise.

Now Hussey is retaliating. They’ve stood Nia down and are threatening to sack her.

#ALDI is responsible for their supply chain.

Given Hussey is one of their key salad suppliers, the supermarket needs to put an end to this union-busting.

Het hangt natuurlijk van je definitie van racisme af maar mij wordt ook wel eens gevraagd wat mijn roots zijn. Wat is daar racistisch aan? Kan toch ook interesse of nieuwsgierigheid zijn? #fulani #hussey

The most reasonable thing i've read about the #racist #hussey situation. The right are out in force to deny it could possibly have been anything but a well-meant question about heritage, rather than the blatant daft racism that was.

I too met the noble #Hussey at a royal do.

Hussey: Hello serf. From under which stone did you crawl?

Me: Tribe of Glyndŵr. You, my liege?

Hussey: I am the supreme and serene Baroness of North Bradley.

Me: I mean, which neanderthals shagged their way into your African gene pool?

#Hussey appears to have been really close to the #monarchy a very long time.

And it's only now they noticed her #racism? Blimey.
