Something new is coming.

Friday 21st August. 8am BST.

[TUC North East, Yorkshire & Humber @TUC_NEYH]

An incredible record of the Sunderland Sailors Strike of 1825, from the team at @UkNatArchives

"A dramatic but little-known seamen’s strike that was brutally suppressed by troops under orders from a Sunderland magistrate."

Just having a meal in La Piola a few doors down from Aslef old HO in Park Square in Leeds. The old office is empty if #Aslef fancies a move back to it's natural home.

The decision to suspend the whip from four MPs for opposing cuts to welfare payments for disabled people is wrong - and has to be reversed.

Sign the petition to demand their reinstatement: https://t.co/4PZl4BfnOp

The strength that ASLEF train drivers at Hull Trains have shown to support one of our members is what makes this union strong

Solidarity to everyone taking action today

[Nick Whitehead @Nick_Whitehead]

Magnificent result, membership and leadership as one for 2 years of action, ASLEF once again showing solidarity will prevail 👏

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

NEW: ASLEF members have voted YES on the offer to end our national pay dispute.

The vote to accept was 96.6%, with a turnout of 88.5%.

Thank you to everyone who has offered support and solidarity, and thanks to our members for their commitment and strength.

This is not an attack on British tourists as the UK press are typically trying to sensationalise but a demand for a fair deal by locals, great explanation here from @GeoTenerife

Moving more freight by rail is great for the environment, efficiency and road safety. #NationalTrainDriverDay

@ASLEF_Scotland @EilishLindsay Fantastic, well done

[Nick Whitehead @Nick_Whitehead]

@SteveKemp16 Good news mate

[Nick Whitehead @Nick_Whitehead]

Absolutely scandalous, Jamie @mayorjd has been brilliant for the North East

[Jamie Driscoll @JamieDriscollNE]

I’ve been barred from standing as North East Mayor by @UKLabour. No explanation has been given.
I’m proud to have created thousands of jobs, fought child poverty, built affordable homes and delivered our Green New Deal. I believe in democracy. Share if you do too. More to follow.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Tory MPs want to scrap inheritance tax for the richest 4% of ppl in Britain. They represent the super-rich, not working people.

Since 2009 the collective wealth of Britain’s richest 1,000 people has increased by almost £500 billion. 

We need to tax this obscene wealth.

[Nick Whitehead @Nick_Whitehead]

What a turnout from Hull Aslef

[Steve Holmes @SteveHolmes636]

We go again up in Hull.

Restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/jvuNR92xWw via @UKChange

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

How disgraceful that a BBC employee abused their position by using their platform to show compassion. Lineker should now have to tweet something heartless, such as "Pandas should all be waterboarded", to restore balance.

[Nick Whitehead @Nick_Whitehead]

@AslefD4DO doing a great job more than holding his own on C4 news
