We need you to tell us why it's unworkable and the real life impact it will have on you in the workplace

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.
So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.
Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.
In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.
When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.
This massacre of medics would be branded terrorism if in Israel by Hezbollah so what is it by Israel in Lebanon?
The mass killing of emergency workers in Lebanon and, before that, Gaza is surely another war crime.

"Please make no mistake. Climate change is the biggest threat to security that modern humans have ever faced."
Care workers delivered 20,000+ leaflets in @ShabanaMahmood's constituency, explaining what changes to settlement rules really mean.
This isn’t just about care staff
It’s about everyone who relies on care, every day

As the crisis in Sudan moves into its fourth year, fighting still rages in large parts of the country.
It’s causing new displacement and extending the daily tragedy for millions of people with no clear end in sight.
The world must not look away.

Regional delegate Gillian Hobson at UNISON Health conference, moving our regional motion on support for migrant workers and the importance of the issues in our pay claims, and negotiations with the Government.
The motion sparked a really well supported debate and was passed!
"The death penalty law adopts very clearly a racial approach to the fundamental right to life." In the wake of the passing of the controversial new Israeli death penalty law, I spoke with human rights activists Yuli Novak of B'Tselem and Suhad Bishara of Adalah about what it will mean in practice.
Steph Richards is a trans woman who works for the charity Endometriosis South Coast as their parliamentary engagement officer which is a voluntary role, but in the last week, she has seen a tsunami of hate directed her way.
Some women online have called her appointment deeply offensive, but Steph says this is just another excuse for transphobia.
Steph talks to @PaulBrandITV and @kategarraway
As of March 2026, some 9,446 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons; 4,691 of them are under administrative detention, imprisoned without charge, trial, or the ability to defend themselves.
Even during the illegal and deadly Israeli-American attack on Iran, Israel continues to operate a network of torture camps for Palestinian prisoners from north to south, where they are subjected to systematic abuse, including physical and psychological violence, inhuman conditions, starvation and denial of medical treatment.
84 identified Palestinians, including one minor, have died in Israeli torture camps over the last two years, and there is grave concern that the real number is higher.
This policy persists with the full support of Israel’s political establishment, judicial system, prison authorities and media. The Israel Prison Service and the Minister for National Security have publicly bragged about the harsh conditions imposed on Palestinian prisoners.
These torture camps are part of the planned, extensive assault Israel is waging against Palestinian society, intended to break down and destroy Palestinians as a group.

.@WHO has verified yet another attack on health care in #Sudan. This time, Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, Al Deain, was struck, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor, and multiple patients.
As a result of this tragedy, the total number of fatalities linked to attacks on health facilities during Sudan’s war has now surpassed 2000. Over the nearly three-year conflict, WHO has confirmed that 2036 people have been killed in 213 attacks on health care, including Friday night’s strike in Al Deain.
This latest attack also injured 89 people, including eight health staff, and damaged the hospital’s pediatric, maternity, and emergency departments. In total, more than 720 people have been injured in attacks on health care during the war to date.
Beyond the devastating human toll, attacks on health care have immediate and long-term consequences for communities already in desperate need of both emergency and routine medical services.
Al Deain Teaching Hospital is currently non-functional due to the extensive damage caused by the attack, resulting in a critical interruption of essential medical services.
WHO is supporting local health partners to help fill urgent gaps by scaling up capacity at other health facilities. This includes strengthening primary health care services to provide outpatient, pediatric, and obstetric care; increasing capacity to treat the injured; and deploying trauma care supplies and essential medicines.
Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted. The time has come to de-escalate the conflict in Sudan and ensure the protection of civilians, health workers, and humanitarians.
Health care should never be a target. Peace is the best medicine.

Our common message to @vonderleyen is clear: you cannot condemn Putin for violating international law, while remaining silent when Trump and Netanyahu disregard those same rules.
International law cannot be invoked selectively, depending on who the violator is.

“The misplaced criticism arises partly from a failure to understand the realities of coprolalia. It arises, too, from the ways in which we now think about racism and diversity.” My Sunday @ObserverUK column online early on Thursday: https://t.co/r7jSmKlhSg
