I am in tears
The Employment Rights Bill has passed the Lords and goes for Royal Assent this week
Sick pay for everyone
No more zero hours contracts
No more trade union act 2016 years
So much more
Doing what you sent a Labour government here to do
Ten years ago today, I joined the Labour Party.

Nigel Farage’s Reform are soft on Russia, voted against your rights at work, and want to sell off the NHS.
They’re no friend to working people.
When they bring division and hate, we must choose solidarity and hope.
Heading home after a lovely weekend in Derry with pals. Weather was glorious and the pubs had Tennent’s - so couldn’t have asked for more.
We inadvertently came on the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement which wasn’t lost on us. Definitely one of the best wee city’s going, well worth a visit.

I can remember a time when Make Work Pay was just one side of an A5 by-election leaflet.
Tonight, MPs voted for the Employment Rights Bill to start delivering the new deal for working people.
That’s the difference that a Labour Government working with trade unions can make.
For generations, North Sea oil and gas workers have powered our industries, warmed our homes and kept our country moving.
We will be dependent on gas for decades to come, and we can’t rely on imports to meet our needs.
These workers and their communities deserve a future.
Bought my mum tickets to Devil wears Prada musical thinking I wouldn’t have to go. I was wrong. Your prayers and solidarity are welcome at this trying time.
Today in the House of Commons @kevinmckenna.co.uk talked about living with HIV.
“It's whittled down to one tablet a day.”
This is a significant act but delivered as Kevin would like it to be treated – as just another long term condition like many others.
Well this blows the Rutherglen by-election out the bloody water!
Proud of @aidanmarshall.bsky.social who is going to be a brilliant councillor for his hometown.
Thousands of Scottish construction workers travel to Hinkley Point every week for work.

Thank you Gareth Snell MP for raising the crisis facing the ceramics sector.
It’s time to back British pottery 🇬🇧
Thank you to @elsiegreenwood.bsky.social who has just reminded me that I can no longer vote in Young Labour elections. What a great day.
Just out of seeing Kyoto at Soho Place, had no expectations going in but left thinking it’s one of the best things I have seen in years. Definitely worth going to see.
I feel underwhelmed and robbed, and I only started watching it last night.
The country voted for change last summer and for a new deal for working people.
Bidfood’s attack on the rights of their workers shows just how much it’s needed.
GMB members at Bidfood will have the full support of their union in facing down these threats.
I have managed to avoid the Traitors until tonight and I am now completely hooked.

Care workers do an incredible job, and they deserve to be paid properly and treated fairly.
That means being able to afford to take time off when sick - not spreading illness or falling into debt.
Great to join our members in HC One on their “Sick of SSP” campaign day. 🤒
I did wonder if these proclamations would make it onto BlueSky.
For decades, councils have got away with stealing wages from women workers. Time’s up.
All over the country, GMB is organising and campaigning for pay justice.
Does that include appointing her as a minister?
Black and white image of Eleanor Marx
On this day 170 years ago Eleanor Marx, a co-founder of our union, was born.
Eleanor was at the forefront of the fight for the 8 hour working day. She consistently fought for justice & equality.
Today we celebrate her achievements and use them to reinvigorate our drive to make change 🙌
