Brian McDaid.

I have made the decision to leave @UKLabour and cancelled my membership. It's time for a change for me and a change in our political system that benefits the many, not the few. My full statement attached. @YorksBylines @DailyPolitik @thestrayferret #independent #Socialist

Another brilliant course organised by @GFTU1 on Neurodiversity, delivered by the fantastic Janine Booth 😊 Full of new ideas and equipped to bring more to our unions Campaign, including making Neurodiversity a protective characteristic under the #EqualityAct2010 @AegistheUnion

The #LabourParty many of us were part of in the past, would have suspended those voting 'for' a #WelfareReform Bill like the one put forward by this Government. #solidarity with @RachaelMaskell @BrianLeishmanMP & the others #ToryNotLabour #welfare bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Do you think @BorisJohnson was ever a stage cameraman for @NikKershaw on his live performance at #LiveAid in 1985? You tell me?

Without his #EHCP my son would have not had an education & hope for his future. The #SEND system needs improving, but not by removing the rights of children & young people, who cannot afford to lose this precious legal protection @YorksBylines independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

So @Pal_action that organised the attempt to shut down Elbit Systems sites that arm the Israeli military & continue to highlight the complicity between the #Government and the genocidal Israeli state, is now proscribed as a terrorist group? #WeAreAllPalestineAction

Another quick trip to London, this time representing @AegistheUnion at the @Unions21 AGM. A brilliant meeting, with some great ideas to come back with to grow and strengthen our union going forward.

Was great to attend this last night. We are not just in a cost-of-living crisis, many are now in a cost-of-surviving crisis. Please sign and share @RichardBurgon's petition demanding a #WealthTax instead of devastating cuts to #Disability support chng.it/XmRtWGKxpK

The Government's proposed #cuts to #disability benefits, threaten to push 290k people in #yorkshire into deeper poverty, losing up to £5,700 annually We need local campaigns now, so the voices of those that these cuts affects, are heard. @YorksBylines #WelfareCuts #TaxTheRich

They weren't just carrying aid, they were also carrying hope and the humanity many of us share for the people suffering genocide. #BreakIsraelsSiege #EndTheBlockade #Madleen #FreedomFlotilla #Volunteers #IOF #StandWithGaza #StandWithPalestine

Being wined and dined whilst #Genocide is taking place close by. Shame on them all, shame on @UKLabour #PalestineGenocide #complicit

Attended the @The_TUC General Council meeting on behalf of @AegistheUnion , this morning. Main topics - The @UKLabour upcoming Spending Review and Budget. - Employment Rights Bill. - Rise of #Reform All topics that will impact our membership, all unions and our communities.

Providing #employment opportunities for #Neurodivergent young people is essential to help them gain an independent life. I was proud to speak on this for @AegistheUnion motion at the @GFTU1 conference. @YorksBylines @Autism #AutismAwareness #ADHD @oneautismhealth

I'm the grandson of #immigrants, I embraced growing up in #Slough, one of the most diverse communities in the UK. I'm married to an immigrant. Being a stranger enhances society, I'd rather be amongst them than led by an elite, out of touch and divisive @UKLabour Government.

#ReformUK gains ground due to disillusionment with mainstream politics, but they are not the answer. We need community-led change by those who want to represent the people, not the elite. by creating citizens’ assemblies as a start. #Grassroots #PoliticalChange

One of my heroes #TonyBenn predicted this about @UKLabour in 1982 - such a shame it came true and his son @hilarybennmp is part of it. This is why a new movement is necessary to silence the far-right and make those at the top accountable. #WealthTaxNow #unity #socialism

I've seen this all over social media this weekend and as someone who lives in #Gargarve, I can confirm it's complete nonsense in regards to the @premierinn and @coopuk Another example of false stories by the far right to create division and hatred. #HopeNotHate @YorksBylines

Proud to have signed this along with other progressive politicians who care for society rather than the few at the top. This isn't about 'left' or 'right' it's about 'top' versus 'bottom' #DignityDeclaration #WelfareNotWarfare #poverty #WealthTax

Today we have launched the #DignityDeclaration in response to the Spring Statement. We are calling for an alternative to the government’s enrichment of the few at the expense of the many. 80+ progressive political leaders have signed. ✍️ Add your name: thedignitydeclaration.co.uk
