What a great weekend from @TrademarkBF and @rosaluxglobal
Best part was spending time and learning from some of the most inspiring activists within the trade and renters union movements.
Looking forward to getting stuck in and developing our course now ✊✊✊
Go raibh maith agaibh- thanks to all those who attended two weekends of 'Marxist educators in times of crisis & change', impressive work all round to reintroduce political education back into our movements & communities! @Sean_Byers84@S_O_Nuallain✊🏿 #radicalpoliticaleducation

For so many CWU members access to toilets when working outside is a huge issue.
The TUC is conducting a survey to look at the scale of the problem.
We would encourage postal workers, telecom engineers and anyone working outside to give your view.

I am heartbroken for every woman, every person of colour, every migrant, every queer/trans kid who is now at greater risk of harm from an emboldened far-right
This is what happens when the political centre concedes to genocide & offers absolutely nothing to working class people
The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.
As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
Watch @unionworkersUK president Tracy Edwards talk about sexual violence in the movement following a productive sexual violence workshop today. #silenceiscompliance

Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map. Not my words but those of 38 respected aid agencies including @Oxfam@christianaid@MedicalAidPal
Staying silent is not an option.
Passivity is not an option.
Complicity is not an option.
For the sake of humanity, we must see action.
Tomorrow's front page of @ScotNational.
We publish a timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white - the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away.
🚨Happy Fair Tips Day! 🚨
From today, workers will have a legal right to 100% of their tips, fairly distributed according to a clear policy & report.
We have campaigned for this for years and it will put £300m (every year) into the back pockets of the poorest workers in the British economy.
A know your rights (and how to enforce them) 🧵
