What are the full health and economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, and how effective have measures to tackle it been?
These are hard questions to answer, but new data confirms our fears that govt measures to protect workers don’t go far enough. https://t.co/hW0o4igXIi 1/
@JustinMadders MP and Shadow Minister has written to Matt Hancock asking that everyone who is working for the NHS at the moment is covered by death in service benefit - This should be extended to private health care workers too @NorthernUNISON@UnisonCityOfSun@unisontheunion
@bphillipsonMP We have just seen sight of your letter to the minister for care. Fantastic work you are doing regarding raising issues of PPE in care homes! would you be able to keep us updated on this? our email is [email protected] - Keep up the pressure and #StaySafe
I have written to the Home Secretary @patel4witham asking for the long overdue response to the @ukhomeoffice Call for Evidence on abuse and violence towards shop staff. Our members are working hard serving their communities, often facing unbelievable abuse and violence.
As Diane Abbott steps down as Shadow Home Secretary we want to thank her for the unending support she has given us.
Here she is https://t.co/L7hnfbfXA6 reaffirming Labour's commitment to an Orgreave inquiry. One which we expect a Labour government to honour.
Thank you Diane

She sadly died on Mar 27 – a week after contracting Covid-19.
Family friend PCSO Alison Ross called her ‘an amazing woman’
