A reminder: The ‘costs’ of the employment rights bill include giving low paid workers the right to sick pay from day one. How many execs or senior managers in the big outsourcing companies who signed this letter have to worry about paying the bills if they take a day off sick?

Nice end to the week, meeting brilliant @ucu @UCUYorksHumber members on the picket line at the University of Bradford. Time for the University to engage seriously with the UCU to save jobs and courses!

The @GermanAmbUK has played a key role in improving relations between 🇬🇧 & 🇩🇪🇪🇺 - crucial at a time of global volatility and good for workers on both sides of the Channel. The UK’s loss is Poland’s gain!

Farewell meeting with @The_TUC Secretary General Paul Nowak to talk about many topics from 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪 relations to vocational training and skills development. Trade Unions have a very important role to play in economy & society. Glad to see the cooperation with 🇩🇪 #DGB. @dgb_news

The government is right to move to end the use of hotels to house asylum seekers. But be under no illusion. These ‘protests’ are being led and coordinated by fascists. And Nigel Farage & Tommy Robinson are spreading fake news that fuels the fires the fascists are lighting.

Great to see the government delivering its commitment to an inquiry into Orgreave. Let’s hope it will deliver justice for the miners and their families who were brutalised by the Police and demonised by the right wing press and politicians 40 years ago.

ORGREAVE INQUIRY ANNOUNCED! The government have announced an inquiry will take place into Orgreave. Please see and share our press release otjc.org.uk/orgreave-truth…

People in a job because they were literally born into it, vote to deny hard working people a bit of job security. Out of touch much?

Just a few days left until Tolpuddle. Lots of debate. Lots of music topped off by @billybragg Lots of ☀️…that’s a promise… My must bring list? A cap A guitar (sorry) Equal parts righteous anger and optimism!

TTolpuddle Martyrs' Festival@TolpuddleFest · Jul 14

Festival essentials: What’s on your must-bring list? We said: - Ines: sun cream, mascara, face cream. Does my child count? - Tanya: my water bottle! Also my mascara. My excel spreadsheets. - Sadie: lots of shoes. My guitar, but then I don't play it. And my Palestine earrings.

If Toby Young (nominated for the House of Lords by Kemi Badenoch), Claire Fox (Boris Johnson) and Nigel Farage think it’s a bad thing, you know the Employment Rights Bill is good for working people. It’s not a ‘banter ban’, it’s common sense action to stop bullying & harassment

Improving rights at work for millions. Driving up pay. Empowering unions to give workers a voice. Levelling the playing field for decent employers. Great to talk to a couple of hundred union reps about the Employment Rights Bill this morning!

Great to start the week with @pcs_union @PCS_Northwest members, who are taking strike action to get their employer MyCSP to respect their union recognition agreement. Having a strong, independent union voice is essential as staff face a TUPE transfer at end of the year.

This leads to this. The rise of nastiness and intolerance should worry anyone who cares about decency in our politics and our society.

Today we remember the victims of the 7/7 London bombings. We pay tribute to their memory and to the extraordinary bravery of the emergency service workers and Londoners who responded with courage, compassion and unity in the face of tragedy. #NeverForget

There’s a lack of self awareness and then there’s this. The byline may more accurately read: Former Conservative MP & chancellor FOR 38 DAYS, who tanked the economy and drove up mortgage costs for millions to give tax cuts to the super rich. Most definitely out of his depth.
