Normal working people know what they call a 'free market' is rigged against them, and Burnham needs to change the way that operates. @DaveWardGS on Sky.

"For Burnham's agenda to succeed, wealth and power needs putting back in the hands of working people'. Our general secretary @DaveWardGS on Sky News last night.
Andy Burnham’s chance to rebuild Britain needs the courage to confront the landlords, bosses and water companies who profit from national decline — and embolden workers to defend his platform.
Our General Secretary Dave Ward in @tribunemagazine.
If Labour wants to survive as a political force and deliver the change that working-class people need, they must be willing to take on the landlords, bosses and water companies who profit from national decline.
I have confidence that Andy Burnham wants to fight that battle.

For Labour to remain in power, it must govern with the vision @andyburnham's campaign has outlined.
That’s why our union's National Executive has proudly endorsed him to be the next Labour leader.
CWU members in Ipswich raised £1,000 for East Anglia's Children's Hospice. The donation will support children and their
families by providing specialist care. Many thanks to all the members who contributed to the appeal ❤
A victory for those who were betrayed by the system, secured by countless, fearless people who never gave in.
We can all sigh a breath of relief because of the tireless work of @NowHillsborough and real Labour MPs like @IanByrneMP who fought so hard to make this moment a reality. #JFT97

Really sad news to hear that Nigel Cotgrove passed away today after a sudden illness while away on holiday.
Nigel devoted his working life to improving the lives of our members and working people everywhere.
He was a highly respected National officer in the T&FS constituency of the CWU and was regarded as one of the most knowledgeable people on pensions in the whole Trade Union movement.
In 2024 he was appointed to the Government's Low Pay Commission and worked tirelessly to support working class people. He will be sorely missed by his many friends and comrades in the CWU and across the movement.
My sincere condolences to Vicki and the family.
A thoroughly decent man and a great trade unionist. R.I.P Nigel.
Dave Ward, General Secretary
Andy Burnham’s decisive victory sends a message: not only does the country need change but the Labour Party does too.
We need to put working-class people back at the heart of government. That’s the way to defeat Reform.
Congratulations Andy, let’s get to work 👏🏻

Really sad news that Fred Jepson passed away yesterday after a long illness.
A former President, NEC, Postal Executive and Mt Pleasant Branch member, Fred was a lifelong trade unionist and a larger than life advocate for our members and working class people.
He will always be remembered as one of the true characters of our Union and the movement. Our sincere condolences go to Cherry and the family.
Rest in peace Fred.
