For as long as I’m General Secretary, Unite will stay focused on what matters most to members – jobs, pay and conditions. Together, we’ve put our union back where it belongs: in the workplace, delivering £billions into the pockets of our members. Let's continue the change.

Coming soon... Unite commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

Celebrate our victories. Learn from our history. Get ready for the struggles of tomorrow.

Israel is annexing the West Bank, destroying Palestinian communities & violently detaining anyone who seeks to resist. This month Israeli forces detained & imprisoned Dr Mazen Rantisi, known as the “ doctor of the poor.” I raised in Parliament his case to demand his release.

Starmer’s goodbye gift to UK: a £44.7bn US pharma deal could be more lethal than Covid.

Pushes up the cost of NHS drugs, boosts US corporate profits.

Secret contract, no debate in parliament.

Must renegotiate, produce drugs at home wherever possible.

Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"

Spot on!

There is no immediate threat to Britain. We should spend less of defence.

"Parliament, media and thinktanks are united in their view that more military spending is still not enough. But sacrificing domestic projects to pay for it is indefensible".

MPs criticising the US-UK Pharma Deal in the Commons this afternoon. This deal is a democratic scandal.

@LaylaMoran up first saying the government has agreed to divert “an eye watering amount of NHS money to very large American corporations without a vote”

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world.

Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime.

It ain't the USA.

#FactoryFarm chickens - government minister says it has no say in where the farms go as it plans to work to EXPAND the industry.
Err... what about controlling the air & river pollution, #PublicHealth & environmental impacts? Isn't that the government's job?

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

I raised a point of order about the Palestine Action ban this week.

With proscription clearly having a chilling effect on free speech, I asked the government to clarify what falls in the scope of the ban.

This is something they have been unable/unwilling to do so far.

Exporting jobs and importing carbon makes no sense.

1,000 oil & gas jobs in the North Sea could be lost every month over the next 3-4 years. Meanwhile, the growth of jobs in the renewables sector does not match the scale of the decimation of oil & gas jobs. That’s why for years Unite has campaigned against the ban on new drilling licences until there is a credible plan to transition jobs.

“We shouldn’t be letting go of one rope before we’ve got hold of another.” @UniteSharon on @SkyNews earlier this year.

Thank you to the 695 branches and workplaces across our union that nominated me to stand for re-election as your General Secretary. Your overwhelming support has delivered what will be a decisive victory within the nomination period. 1/2

🚨 DISGUSTING: Melat Kiros exposes the terrifying Zionist crackdown!

She reveals she was fired from her law firm simply for defending students protesting the Gaza genocide.

Melat Kiros beat U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette ($ 1.65m+ from AIPAC) in a Colorado House primary Tuesday.

The Battle of Cable Street on 4 October 1936 was by far the country’s biggest mobilisation against fascism. The East London Jewish community and a coalition of the organised working class resisted Moseley racist, antisemitic incursion, with over a hundred thousand taking to the streets under the slogan “They Shall Not Pass”. The 5,000 fascists were unable to march, and the police redirected them – a massive humiliation for Mosley.

We have got loads planned to commemorate this anniversary and we'd love to see you there. Register your interest here 👉 https://t.co/4HBU374EaJ

Unite members are taking action at Manchester Kimpton Clocktower over union busting - the way @IHGCorporate has behaved has been nothing short of shameful.

We will not idly stand by and allow our members to be treated in this way. https://t.co/i01zVECQXX

🚨 Thames Water calls it an "isolated spill". We call it what it smells like. 💩💩

Last week, water testing at Fulham Reach Boat Club found E. coli levels more than 58 TIMES higher than the Environment Agency's threshold for safe bathing water. 🤢

Water companies are only supposed to discharge untreated sewage during periods of heavy rainfall. Yet the spills highlighted in this investigation happened during dry weather - raising serious questions about whether the law has been broken.

Londoners deserve to enjoy their river without risking their health. Instead, we're seeing the consequences of years of regulatory failure, underinvestment, and a water company that continues to put financial interests ahead of people and the environment.

Thames Water is no longer fit to run this essential public service.

It's time to place the company into Special Administration so it can be restructured to serve the public interest, protect our rivers, and end the cycle of pollution before profit. #SewageScandal

[PCS - the civil service union @pcs_union]

Email your MP and join our #pensions rally and lobby on 7 July. Let's keep the pressure on to get the Civil Service Pension crisis fixed.

It’s outrageous that Jenny Jones is left begging the Lords to listen to the science.

Every MP and member of the HOL should be forced to listen to a briefing from the chief scientist and other UK leading scientist on the realities of climate change and what is coming towards us.
This broadcast should also be made to the public.
This is an insane insane situation

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

Great to see a mention of our and @JustTreatment's work in parliament as MPs called for gov to come clean on the true costs of the US-UK medicines deal.

This deal with Trump could cost BILLIONS + hundreds of thousands of lives - yet has not been subject to a democratic vote.
