12 months ago P&O sacked nearly 800 seafarers by zoom to replace them with agency workers.
The Government promised action but have delivered nothing to stop bad employers doing it again.
I joined @RMTunion @nautilusint members today to demand justice.

[Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament @CNDuk]

Thousands here at the #SaveOurSchools rally at #TrafalgarSquare with more joining by the minute.

The UK is to add £11 billion in military spending over the next five years. What other department is so lucky?

Worth remembering that Dennis Skinner was in the Commons for almost 50-years.
He voted the right way every time and NEVER paired with a Tory .
He understood what class politics was about.

This is my beloved. Isn’t he nice? He’s not on Twitter so he doesn’t have to be embarrassed but - fact is - he means everything to me: husband (42 years since), boyfriend, carer, pianist, cook, engineer, driver, allotmenteer, friend, laugh-fountain & all-round good guy. 💕

[Ian Lavery @IanLaveryMP]

While over 500,000 workers walk out on strike we hear not a peep from the Chancellor on tackling our chronically falling wages.

But don’t worry, he found almost £20 billion in tax cuts for corporations, pensions for highest earners, and cuts to fuel duty.

Desperate times.

President Obama was a better, smarter and classier president than Donald Trump ever was. ❤️ if you agree.

Solidarity with @NEUnion members fighting not just for themselves but for current & future students.

When will the Govt & @GillianKeegan recognise that teachers have a vital role in our communities & negotiations must reflect that

It’s nine years ago today that Tony Benn died.
It’s hard to imagine Starmer succeeding in stopping him speaking out about NATO and the proxy war in Ukraine.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Civil service staff in West Derby and across the country have faced over a decade of real terms pay cuts.

Solidarity to all those fighting for pay justice on this historic day of industrial action ✊

If you would like to see Stanley Johnson’s knighthood rejected and Boris Johnson recalled. Like this tweet.

If you would like to see them both in jail for Domestic Abuse/Fraud. RT this tweet.

Wealthfare for the better-off.

Average wage is £31,000 but Hunt says high earners can pay up to £60,000 a year tax-free into their pensions.

Huge public subsidy for those on bigger salaries.
