A landmark moment for workers 🎉
Labour’s Employment Rights Act is delivering stronger rights at work.
From today: day 1 rights to paternity & parental leave, and stronger sick pay - so parents get support from the start and no one has to choose between their health and income.
Stronger workplaces begin with recognised unions. 💪
Today, Labour’s Employment Rights Act makes simpler to win recognition — a first step to putting more power in workers’ hands. ✊📢
Minimum wage rising 📈
State pension increasing 💷
Two child limit abolished 🏡

This includes paternity leave and unpaid parental leave accessible from day one, stronger Statutory Sick Pay rights, a strengthened duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment, a simplified trade union recognition process, new rights to unpaid bereavement leave and more.
From today, 1.2 million workers will get access to sick pay for the first time. 8.4 million from the 1st day of illness instead of waiting till day 4. Workers will be entitled to parental leave from day 1 & will receive legal protection to report sexual harassment at work. #ERA
We can recover our lost high street assets and revive local neighbourhoods with empowered communities.
As @PreetKGillMP highlights, backing the Community Right to Buy with real access to finance puts wealth and control back into local hands.
We’re out all year round not just elections! #Nottingham#Labour out listening to residents in Bestwood, St Anns and Mapperley today. Lots of contacts made and casework logged!
A very bad night for #Labour after a poor, negative campaign. A number of communities that our party has relied on for support have now turned to alternatives. We need to reflect on what we are & who we are here to represent and soon to turn this around. #GortonAndDenton
#Reform run by Thatcherite public schoolboys and failed Tories in the interests of landlords and the asset rich who fund them. They are coming for the few protections you have left at work and in your home. https://t.co/95EH5ASwpC
Lots of positive conversations in Wollaton West this morning with our team of @ng_labour councillors and volunteers. We picked up feedback, on lots of issues particularly pleased to be able to tell people about our @UKLabour £7.3bn investment into fixing local roads!
The first senior royal to be arrested in 400 years. The last was Charles I in 1647 who was subsequently executed in 1649. #AndrewMountbattenWindsor https://t.co/maTxMMxtSl
On 27th January 1945 Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Soviet army. On #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. This #HMD we must be aware that this hatred is very much alive and needs to be challenged every day.
Reform is fast becoming a retirement home for Tories who have destroyed the country and shafted the working class. Now they claim to be the solution to the very problems they’ve caused. #Conform#SuellaBraverman#Reform
