A pay rise in line with inflation for ALL public sector workers would cost around an extra £12-15bn.

Taxing Capital Gains at the same tax rates people have to pay on the wages they earn would raise £17bn.

The Tories' refusal to offer a fair pay rise is a political choice.

Rotten to the core.

Destroying the service, jobs and peoples mental health then having the front to claim CWU members are putting pressure on people around industrial action.

Nobody wants to come to work, Simon. They want you gone.

Royal Mail have publicly admitted they have a £1.7bn ‘war chest’ to destroy postal workers

Admin team sat here thinking how utterly inspirational, uplifting and humbling it is that 115,000 CWU members still refuse to bow down 🥹

RT if you will stand with your postie forever

Rishi Sunak has taken to The S*n to claim the real-terms pay cuts his government is pushing are "fair".

What a joke!

UK billionaires’ wealth is up £220m per day.

Profits up 34%

Bankers' bonuses up 28%

But workers should get pay cuts?

No way! Solidarity with all on strike.

On the Today programme this morning, I explained the stark reality of the conditions ambulance staff are working in. They’re going on strike on Wednesday, as a last resort, to draw attention to the problems in our NHS.

I am appalled to hear that the Rwanda scheme has been ruled lawful.

The plan to deport refugees to a country they have never known remains profoundly immoral.

History remembers those who stand up for humanity. That will include those who resist this heinous act of cruelty.

"Health workers won’t have any confidence in a repeat of the process that’s failed to deliver for them, the NHS or patients so far."

I’m hearing stories of Matt Hancock being bullied on I’m a Celebrity, and I have to say, I’m fine with that. Almost makes me want to watch it.

We don't need a single penny of cuts. On the BBC I explained in just 20 seconds how we can raise taxes on the richest instead. Austerity is a political choice.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The resilience of trans people in the face of endless marginalisation is an inspiration to us all.

This #TransAwarenessWeek, let’s empower trans communities in their struggle for justice, and celebrate their strength and joy.

There is no debate: trans rights are human rights.

According to @ONS figures released today, the gap in public-private sector pay has grown to the widest level ever, as public sector job vacancies hit record highs
