35 years of service to the Union, and it falls to Ida Clemo to bring Congress to a close.

There’s no one more fitting.

Thank you for everything, Ida.

Enjoy a very well-earned retirement. 👏

Great day out at Durham Pride UK carrying the GMB branch banner.

Met some amazing people and enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine and helped show support for those in the LGBT+ community 🌈

@JaneyGodley Thoughts with you x

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

People aren't dying because nurses are striking

Nurses are striking because people are dying

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

After last night, the choice is clear:

You’re either with nurses, teachers, firefighters and frontline workers.

Or you’re with the Tory government.

It’s time for everyone to pick a side.

My darling wife Karen took her last breaths on 19th November at 19:25 at St Cuthbert's Hospice
Me, Luke and Em were at her bedside while she passed so peacefully. She did not feel any pain or suffering.
She is now at peace 💔❤️
