General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union @CWUNews

We don't have a free market, it's a market rigged against working people.

@andyburnham needs to change that and I believe that he will.

[CWU @CWUnews]

"For Burnham's agenda to succeed, wealth and power needs putting back in the hands of working people'. Our general secretary @DaveWardGS on Sky News last night.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

Labour have got a second chance.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

If Labour wants to survive as a political force and deliver the change that working-class people need, they must be willing to take on the landlords, bosses and water companies who profit from national decline.

I have confidence that Andy Burnham wants to fight that battle.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Congratulations to @andyburnham, the new Leader of the Labour Party!

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

If Labour doesn’t embrace a real change agenda that shifts the balance of forces in favour of ordinary people, it will hand Farage the keys to No. 10.

We trust @AndyBurnham to be that force for change, and will be firm in helping him deliver that agenda.

[CWU @CWUnews]

For Labour to remain in power, it must govern with the vision @andyburnham's campaign has outlined.

That’s why our union's National Executive has proudly endorsed him to be the next Labour leader.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

A victory for those who were betrayed by the system, secured by countless, fearless people who never gave in.

We can all sigh a breath of relief because of the tireless work of @NowHillsborough and real Labour MPs like @IanByrneMP who fought so hard to make this moment a reality. #JFT97

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"We cannot take that hurt away tonight, but we can put decency back at the heart of the British state, and that is what this bill does."

With the Hillsborough Law set to be approved in the Commons, Andy Burnham says he hopes it "ends the cover-up culture" many have faced in the country.

[CWU @CWUnews]

Wikipedia workers are unionising over concerns about transparency, trust, and the future of the organisation. 📚😎

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

Andy Burnham’s decisive victory sends a message: not only does the country need change but the Labour Party does too.

We need to put working-class people back at the heart of government. That’s the way to defeat Reform.

Congratulations Andy, let’s get to work 👏🏻

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

Really sad news that Fred Jepson passed away yesterday after a long illness.

A former President, NEC, Postal Executive and Mt Pleasant Branch member, Fred was a lifelong trade unionist and a larger than life advocate for our members and working class people.

He will always be remembered as one of the true characters of our Union and the movement. Our sincere condolences go to Cherry and the family.

Rest in peace Fred.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

That’s why our union voted to stay affiliated with Labour, not because we support everything that they’re doing, but because trade unions need to use their seat at the table to fight for the working class and for their members. #CWU26

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

We are at a crossroads.

Labour must unapologetically become the party of the working class again. If the party isn’t willing to rise to that challenge then we need to make them.

[CWU @CWUnews]

Billy Bragg made a surprise appearance at #CWU26 general conference to remind us of the strength of the union. ✊

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

"If you haven't got the courage to stand against the wealthy and the powerful and redistribute wealth and power back to working people, then don't stand up and say you're going to deliver real change”

@CWUnews GS @DaveWardGS with a message for Labour

Pleased to announce I have been appointed as a trade union representative on the Fair Work Agency Advisory Board.

This is a vital opportunity to shape the world of work, bring back a level-playing field for decent employers and provide security and power for workers everywhere.

Let’s get to work.

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

I agree with @liambyrnemp

[CWU @CWUnews]

Royal Mail bosses can't get a free pass when it comes to service standards. The public and the posties deserve better #StandByYourPostie

[Connor Naismith MP @connor_naismith]

I urge my constituents to #StandByYourPostie.

@RoyalMail is failing it's staff and failing our communities and everything @DaveWardGS says here is spot on.

If Royal Mail do not honour the agreements they have entered into they should be taken into public ownership.

[CWU @CWUnews]

It's like scrapping train WiFi if its broken, ignoring potholes on the roads and accepting that our seas are now filled with sewage. We can't keep accepting that going backwards is the only way - our country deserves so much better than this. #StandByYourPostie
