Great to be at last night's Back the Third Runway dinner, meeting fellow members and colleagues from across the movement.
A third runway at Heathrow means jobs. Good, skilled, unionised jobs and apprenticeships for workers and communities across London and beyond.
GMB backs the third runway because we back workers. Let's get on and build it.

@putneysw15 This is what they promised 2 months ago to win votes and control of the Council.
Post election they are now saying reversing the changes to the junction will not make any difference, they are not removing any cycle lanes to restore additional lanes and are introducing cameras...
@wandbc You promised to reverse the junctions changes at Putney Bridge but now say it won't improve the traffic.
And you're introducing "money grabbing cameras" on the Embankment.....
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
I will accept Nigel Farageโs request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
We saw today the dignity and decency that Keir has brought to being our Prime Minister. He has achieved so much, not least bringing Labour back into government and restoring the UKโs reputation on the world stage. We owe him our profound thanks for his service to our country.
Labour are about to make a monumental mistake. They have history - Brown coronation, Ed Miliband election (wrong brother), Corbyn madness. But in the context of a big 2024 GE majority, removing a sitting PM would be a crowning disaster.
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
Labour loses my vote if they donโt stop pfaffing with the leadership nonsense. Thereโs work to do and right now @Keir_Starmer seems to be the only one who gets that.
Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.โจโจOr moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. โจโจIt's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?
