Enough is Enough

The campaign to fight the cost-of-living crisis.
A government who have stoked hate all this week collectively now shamefully keeping a university worker from her 6 year old daughter. Enough. Is. Enough.
The cruelty of the government has been exposed all week, as they’ve attempted to create division. This is something else though. Imagine the level of callousness needed to deny a 6 year old girl being with her mum - truly sickening. We must fight this. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…
Teesworks, at the heart of the Teesside Freeport, has had vast amounts of public cash ploughed into it while enriching a small number of private developers associated with Tory politicians. We urgently need a NAO investigation to uncover the full truth. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/02/the-te…
For anything to run in Britain, there has to be an iron-cast guarantee that MPs’ mates have to get billions of pounds for unclear reasons and everything has to be expensive and difficult to normal people to guarantee this situation
Royal Mail could save £650m by switching to three-day-a week service, says Ofcom dlvr.it/T1p05R
General Secretary Dave Ward - brilliant on BBC Breakfast this morning. OFCOM are completely unfit for purpose and if Royal Mail don’t believe in the universal service then they are in the wrong business.
The Horizon scandal — being dramatised in ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office — is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history, and provides a stark warning about involving the private sector in our vital public institutions. tribunemag.co.uk/2022/02/behind…
Protect the right to strike!

I have just learned that Anas Abu Srour has been abducted by Israeli forces in the West Bank. Anas is the Executive Director of the Aida Youth Center in the Aida Refugee Camp. I met Anas when I visited Palestine last year, and I wanted to say something. The centre supports…
The RMT have delivered a historic victory today, overturning hundreds of planned ticket office closures. This shows the power of organised, fighting labour mixed with a forward thinking campaign online and in our communities. It sets the standard and should lift all workers.
This is brilliant. UCU’s general secretary @DrJoGrady and @RMTunion leader Mick Lynch sit down and discuss how unions can work together to beat employers and this government. We need more of this.
Today is the big day at the end of our #RightToFood week. Join a #HungerMarch today in Belfast - Liverpool - London. In Lpool meet 12 noon St George’s Hall. Join the fight for systemic change to end hunger in our communities.
Thanks to poor political choices, almost 1 in 5 UK households are now food insecure & more than half a million children fell below the poverty line in the last year. This is why I am supporting Right To Food Week 2023: ianbyrne.org/rtfweek2023 #RightToFood #RTFWeek2023
Mick Lynch from the @RMTunion is spot on here - we are subsiding low pay through in work benefits. No company should be allowed to pay a wage that is so low workers can't live on it. #Peston

"For the first 3 months of the year [Amazons revenue] was over £100 billion" Reporting from the picket line at Rugeley. Solidarity with @GMB_union members at Amazon who are on strike today in their fight for fair pay✊
Great to join @unitetheunion members at St Mungos today to mark 10 weeks of strike action — what an extraordinary display of collective resilience and solidarity. It's high time for management to wake up and give these dedicated front-line workers the pay rise they deserve.
