Nigel Farage claims he’s on the side of working people but in the same breath, wants to strip them of their rights.

He’s a hypocrite.

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about it. I've signed a petition to stop the steal. Can you add your name too? https://t.co/iyx7sL0O9r via @megaphoneuk

A great day spent at the People’s History Museum, Manchester, which I have the privilege to chair. Big, very successful improvements to our retail and F&B offer: the retail stock is superb and the buzz (as well as the quality of good and drinks) at our new cafe is fantastic.

🎵 Union Busting Is Disgusting 🎶

Incredible solidarity from the people of Manchester last night in support of our leaders at Kimpton Clocktower after they were suspended for minor infractions by IHG days after lodging a collective grievance re: working conditions and for union recognition.

To prevent further escalation, senior management at the hotel must reinstate our reps and meet with our members to discuss these serious issues and a pathway to union recognition.
