.@British_Airways must withdraw its threats to allow sensible negotiations to get underway. No other airline we negotiate with has behaved in this way during the current health crisis."

.@YMCA_NL & @YMCAEng_Wales plan to evict a LRU member on Monday.

PLEASE RT to tell the YMCA: If you try to evict, you're breaking the law

Our member has a tenancy, YMCA has no possession order & the gov has paused evictions. YMCA know this: we emailed them (they've not replied)

NEW: polling shows the public reject a no-strings attached bailout of airlines. 7 in 10 of those supporting a bailout want the government to take a public stake.

Time for @UKLabour to lay out a vision for a just transition for workers and planet 🌹

Solidarity with BA staff and @unitetheunion members after this @BaBetrayal ✊

BA is punishing workers while handing out billions to shareholders. That's after receiving nearly £300m in government aid. Bailouts for workers and planet, not shareholders!

The £283m transport boost from @grantshapps sounds impressive... until you realise bus funding declined by £230m under Tory austerity.

We need real green investment - in free, expanded bus services & low-cost, publicly-owned rail, not roadbuilding & greenwashing. Thank you, next

The #ImmigrationBill is a disgrace, @NadiaWhittomeMP outlines why here 👇

Low-paid migrant workers in health, social care & beyond aren't 'low-skilled' - they keep the country going & lead the fight for a better world. Migrant justice is social justice 🌹 https://t.co/XUApQKxKlM

If reports are accurate that Rishi Sunak is about to announce an extension to the furlough scheme but cutting wage support to 60% without employers making up difference it means the government has adopted the basic principle of a time old policy of starving workers back to work.

[Worker-Climate Project @WorkerClimate]

If Amber Rudd can call for climate bailouts then Labour should go one step further and demand bailouts for workers and planet, not shareholders.

This is a matter of jobs and of lives, now and in the future.

If you were Matt Hancock, who would you choose to run your coronavirus testing centre? 🤔

I am a director of a charity. If a report was brought to me with prima facie evidence of horrendous abuse bullying, racism, sexism and ableism. My response would not be to commission an investigation into why the report was written.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Whatever the explanation for MPs being offered an extra £10,000 to support them while they work from home, however it might be spent, it’s incomprehensible they can be offered it whilst struggling families were given a 35p a week increase in child benefit

Huge congratulations to @Ed_Miliband on his appointment as Shadow BEIS Secretary! Ed hosted our Parliamentary launch and has spoken of the need to combine economic and climate justice. We look forward to working with him to develop Labour’s #GreenNewDeal 🌹https://t.co/725fb6ajI5

Whoever wins, we must deepen our radicalism, not weaken it.

Labour members won't accept anything less ✊

❗️ Important non-COVID story ❗️

For a couple of years now, the government has been refusing to test a commonly used cladding system (HPL + phenolic insulation)

The test was just done privately and it failed in under nine minutes

It's unions who protect the working class, not the Tory government 🌹🌹

Big up to @bfawu1 and @SpoonStrike ✊👏
