Delighted to march with friends from the #NEU and across the labour movement to celebrate #Nottingham #Pride. It’s particularly great to catch up with old friends, ex pupils and activists who fight for the right for people to be who they are at work and everywhere else.
Never cross a picket line, always join the picket! @unitetheunion members at #NEU on strike against changes to roles, gradings & workload, in great spirits picketing a wet #EastMidlands office. Thanks for the lovely messages of #solidarity from the members we are proud to serve.
What a beautiful day in #Nottingham! #Basford #Labour Cllrs Nick & Linda help friends listen to residents in #HysonGreen & #Arboretum on #Labourdoorstep
We’re here all year round not just at elections! #Basford #Labour Cllrs Linda, Nick & Salma out listening to residents around Ladbroke Grove, collecting casework and feeding back your views! #LabourDoorstep #Nottingham
The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:
4.5 million children in the UK are living in poverty. This is has been worsened by the two-child limit on universal credit. End it now! theguardian.com/society/2025/j… #ChildPoverty #TwoChildCap
The Tiger Who Came To Tea has come to #Basford Library. Come down and meet him! #JudithKerr #Libraries #Nottingham
We're in government with a massive mandate. There are other choices. People with PIP are not the 'broadest shoulders' Keir Starmer rightly talked about. Well done to the backers of the reasoned amendment and hope others join the effort to pull back from this. 1/2
Ahead of a crucial vote on cuts to disability benefits, our new evidence casts doubt on whether jobs are even available for disabled people facing cuts 📢 The analysis found that the parts of the country among the hardest hit by the cuts have fewer job opportunities 1/3

Dawn is right. Disabled working people should not have their #PIP cut. Thanks for your work and service in our #NHS. Great video @GMBMidlands I hope the government listens.
I am one of over 100 Labour MPs who are backing an amendment to stop disability benefit cuts. It’s clear that MPs across the broad church of our party see these cuts as the wrong direction, especially after 14 years of Tory austerity. The government must now drop this Bill.
870,000 children live in families who receive PIP. 290,000 of these children are already in poverty. What will happen to them if the government forces through disability benefit cuts? Over 100 Labour MPs have made it clear that these cuts are reckless. Let's drop them.
I'm calling on the Government to urgently rethink its proposed changes to welfare. Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners ⬇️
EXCL: Sadiq Khan becomes most senior Labour figure yet to urge government to drop controversial disability benefit changes, supporting growing Labour rebellion that threatens to derail the plans. The London mayor warns the welfare bill - which more than 100 Labour MPs have…

Proud to #MarchForPalestine #WeAreNottingham #CeaseFireNow #FreePalestine #StopArmingIsrael
I’ll be on this march. I don’t think it’s acceptable for us to look on and claim our silence isn’t facilitating mass murder in clear and obvious violation of international law. #MarchForPalestine #Labour #Nottingham #CeasefireNOW
The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike! Out supporting @NUHASUNISON Health Care Workers on strike at City Hospital #Nottingham for back pay they’ve been robbed of. They’ve been on strike every day this week, get down and support them! #UNISON #Solidarity
In #Basford library for surgery this morning. Pop along and say hi and look at the fantastic activities that are on over the next few weeks!
We should always remember and honour our greatest generation who defended our country and liberated Europe from the evils of fascism with many making the ultimate sacrifice so that others could be free #VEDay #VEDay80
