Tasers to be used in prisons to tackle 'unacceptably high' levels of violence Specialist officers will use the devices in adult male prisons in England and Wales as part of Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood's promise to “keep prison staff safe" news.sky.com/story/tasers-t…
This weeks #SundayThread - Mind over muscle. You know me I’m fascinated with ability of some folks to intervene when others don’t. The ability to do what’s right even when faced with challenges from people around them & from the situation. I got thinking about endurance athletes
If the @ukhomeoffice and @YvetteCooperMP have any sense they will welcome this proposed change. Incredible effort so well done to those involved 👏 If you care about rank and file police representation, it’s worth watching and donating.

Yes . Time to revisit the issue. "Ireland: Police win the right to strike following an EU ruling " share.google/ftVLTvSdQK3j86…
This is so true. Something needs to change. It’s infuriating hearing commentators on the MSM endorsing every other public sector’s right to take industrial action, withhold labour, strike or have a trade union. But the police are left with nothing.
This case raises a clear human rights issue. The blanket ban on police officers forming or joining a trade union dates back to 1919 and is entirely out of step with modern standards. There is no justifiable reason why police officers should be treated differently from…

It is time colleagues had a real choice of who represents them. The over century long monopoly by one organisation that has been shown to be unfit should end. #BreakingTheMonopoly leighday.co.uk/news/news/2025…

I just supported this case! crowdjustice.com/case/breaking-… via @CrowdJustice
Alan is correct. There is a body of evidence as to why @PFEW_HQ are unfit for purpose and incapable of changing. Likewise there is legislation across Europe and even in Commonwealth country’s, which support our arguments and suggest the Governments blanket ban on union…
Across the channel sits a court that has granted many European police forces workers rights. ie, Union membership rights. Officers fates sits within their own hands. It is up to them whether they vote with their wallet and force a Federation that appears to any objective…
It feels very strange - after 30 years of police service and corresponding membership of @PFEW_HQ (I'm still a member now, despite not wanting to be) - for another independent organisation that I'm a member of @SpeechUnion to be truly sticking up for me, truly defending my…
