Re-elect Andrew Berry To UNISON’s Greater London seat of National Labour Link Committee, which I have been a member since 2013. Ballot papers go out 07/08/19
We stand together in solidarity with 1,416 garment workers dismissed from NEXT’s only unionised factory in Sri Lanka.
What happens to workers abroad matters here too. Companies undermine unions while their CEO lobbies against labour protections here in the UK.

🎬 BBC-Commissioned Gaza Documentary Wins BAFTA After Network Refused to Air It
“Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” — a documentary about Israeli strikes on Palestinian health workers — won the BAFTA award for best current affairs program Sunday, despite the BBC refusing to broadcast the film it commissioned, citing “impartiality concerns.”
Channel 4 ultimately aired the documentary after the BBC dropped it. Director Ramita Navai used her acceptance speech to call out the decision.
NEW: @jeremycorbyn has reported Sky's The Cathy Newman Show and GMB to broadcast regulator Ofcom over their airing of "baseless" and "disgraceful" antisemitism smears that "downplay the historic reality of antisemitism in Britain and disregard thousands of victims".
Sorry, until George W. Bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the Iraq War, (including American-lead torture, Iraqi deaths & displacement, and the deep scars—emotional & otherwise—inflicted on our military that served his folly), we can’t even begin to talk about kindness.

Umunna taken apart on Today programme making it clear that he’s putting his personal animosity towards Jeremy Corbyn & Labour before the interests of the country. The Lib Dem’s are clearly willing to watch the economy crash before they will put their party interests to one side.
