10 years ago, 1134 lives were lost (mostly women) when #RanaPlaza collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bosses in the country's largest industry put profits before people. Let's prioritise worker safety above corporate gains and learn from this to improve factory safety worldwide.
Honoured to have spoken at the Linguists Collective Conference and #InternationalMotherLanguageDay. Language diversity is critical to our cultural identity, and we must fight discrimination in all its forms. #LanguageDiversity#Inclusivity

On Wednesday, the biggest teachers strike in years went ahead. We were at the Bedford rally in support of the National Education Union. Superb attendance from teachers and support staff.

Rishi Sunak's new anti-union legislation means when workers democratically vote to strike, they could be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. Join the campaign to protect the #RightToStrike. https://t.co/lycbxZh2cB via @megaphoneuk@UsdawUnion
I owe my life to NHS nurses and doctors - they all deserve fair pay, safe working conditions and the UK deserves a fully funded NHS!
Solidarity to all courageous strikers trying to save OUR NHS. Please support your NHS.
