10 years on ordinary people are still paying the price for a financial crisis they did not create, enduring cuts, wage stagnation and falling living standards.
Its time we learnt the lessons of that crash, put finance to work for the real economy and introduce a Robin Hood Tax.
Did you know that Unite West Midlands members get free personal injury claim advice thanks to Unite Legal Services? Unite members are covered for accidents at or away from work and keep 100% of their compensation.
Today I'm putting the PM on notice. If her deal doesn’t deliver for working people, then the TUC will throw our weight behind the call for a popular vote on the terms of Brexit.
I’m sick of Tory MP’s blaming the NHS funding crisis on the elderly living longer! They may be living longer but they are fitter, HAVE PAID A LIFETIME OF TAXES, many are STILL WORKING, many ARE CARERS and many LOOK AFTER GRANDCHILDREN so their parents can go to work & PAY TAXES!
Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary we were set up to promote a strong socialist Leader.... we succeeded - @jeremycorbyn
Bit of a 'do' yesterday to mark the 80th birthday of Fred, who's been volunteering here for over 50 yrs. He was part of the original group who saved the site and is one of our volunteers who are invaluable in maintaing the site & keeping all of our moving parts in order.
One hundred years since women’s suffrage, the Tories are trying to put up barriers to people exercising the right to vote. ID checks at polling stations are a cynical attempt to block people from voting because they know their rigged system isn’t working. https://t.co/bhEMJEEvx7
Today I met with police in Derbyshire who told me about the challenges they face due to Tory cuts.
The next Labour government will invest in community safety by recruiting 10,000 extra neighbourhood officers and ensuring forces have the resources they need.
Our broken housing market is in urgent need of a complete overhaul but the Tories won't do it.
The next Labour government will provide security for tenants, control rents and build the homes we desperately need.

It's just been revealed that there has been a 14% rise in all recorded crime.
Theresa May, as Home Secretary and Prime Minister, was warned by police about the effect of the @Conservatives' cuts, taking 21,000 police off our streets.
Theresa May has shown utter disregard for patients this winter. A real apology would be backed up by real action. Instead all we get is a plan to promote the Health Secretary who has overseen this crisis. Promoting the Health Secretary would be a betrayal of patients
It is not good enough for @Theresa_May to say NHS problems are "frustrating" and "disappointing" when the Tory Government has caused this crisis.
Nurses, doctors and patients are pleading with her to properly fund our health service, but she is ignoring them.

Spare a thought for those rough sleepers... and when you see a homeless person, be generous and compassionate. That may mean you spare them 5 minutes of your time, that 5 minutes could mean the world to them.
