The support staff who actually work in schools have spoken.

Workload up. Wellbeing down. Pay at the top through the roof.

93% are against academisation.

@jk_rowling @theglassfish13 when I grew up in a cult like church that told me your books were evil and a witch (you'll probably like that). the outrage when you said Dumbaldor (I'm dilyslexic sorry for the spelling) was gay. it must make you sad that those people use your words to justify their hate?

[GMB London Region @GMBLondonRegion]

Proud of every single one of you who marched with us today. This is what GMB London looks like, united, determined, and always stronger together. 🟠✊

It was an honour to be part of my generation's time stand against the far right just like my grandad did.

We had a fantastic day today meeting all our Congress delegates for @gmb_union @GMBLondonRegion today.
Thanks to you all for your contributions.

At the same time as our meeting our brilliant staff and activists attended the march against the far right in London. #MembersFirst

I speaks up for the neurodiversity whenever I can. Trumps comments on people with dyslexia are sickening. If he can be PotUS it should inspire all us "mentally ill people" that we can do anything...
Neurodiversity is a gift I wouldn't give away!
Solidarity always ✊️

@WKennyGMB Tut tut BMA... not a good look

[Luke Simcock @Luke_Sim_Rep]

80% turn out, 96% voted to strike! The BMA should know better! GMB fighting for our members at it's best!

Channel 4’s Dirty Business put the UK water industry under the spotlight — exposing the scale of sewage spills, questioning executive bonuses, and examining whether regulators did enough to hold companies accountable.

Sir James Bevan served as Chief Executive of the Environment Agency from 2015 to 2023, during much of that period.

Now, close to 3,000 people have signed a petition calling for his knighthood to be removed.

Carly Hawridge says she felt “compelled” to launch the petition out of “complete disgust”, with Sir James Bevan “portrayed in the docudrama as a key figure in ignoring the detrimental environmental impact of sewage discharge into our rivers and possibly covering up such actions.”

MP staff should get the same pay rise as their mp, at least... they do the work and get the abuse from the public first hand. 5% for MPs 3.5 (below RPI) for their staff. It's an outrage!

They block reforms. They are still not taxed fairly. The ruling class never left. They just got better PR 3/3

Statute of Labourers 1351
English land owners wrote this to freeze wages. In 2025 their decendents this own the land. 50% of the land in the UK is owned by decendents of the Norman conquest. Wealth, influence is their 1/3

Workers demand fair pay after a crisis. The rich pass laws to stop it. Sound familiar? 2024 Tories did the same thing by attacking the right to strike. Today billionaires fund antiunion campaigns. They sit in the Lords 2/3 #RightToStrike #workersrights #history #makingworkbetter

[Luke Simcock @Luke_Sim_Rep]

In #theBlackDeath, half of Englands population died. #workers suddenly had power. They demanded better #wages, shorter hours
The seeds of the working class resistance were sown

@alistrathern I asked you about this when I was on my employment law tour around Parliament! Nice to see you putting words to action! Keep up the great work!

@DawnButlerBrent @GMBLondonRegion @WKennyGMB @GMB_union Dawn is a warrior for the working class! She is my hope for Labour's future...

I previously worked for @GMBLondonRegion for 10 years.

Mary Turner was a mentor to me. Her legacy continues to change lives, from securing school meals to fighting for equal pay and employment rights.

I am honoured to have helped ensure this union is recognised in Parliament.
