A huge thank you to my colleague @Yasmine_Dar for so many years of service speaking up for members in an incredibly difficult environment. Also an important thank you @ellenlmorrison who did not re-stand for election, her voice will be sorely missed on the NEC.

An historic day.

New rights for millions of workers, and testament to years of union campaigning.

More to do working with the government to make sure the secondary legislation is watertight, and to deliver the rest of the Make Work Pay agenda but for now…

👏👏✊🏼✊🏼

[Labour🌹Unions @labourunionsuk]

BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament.

The new rights in this Bill will be transformational, putting power back into the hands of working people.

This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement.

Time to celebrate 🎉

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history.

Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%.

I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.

This is wrong: ditching nuclear would be disastrous for workers and the climate.

ET fees are a kite that should never, will never, fly.

➡️ Overturned by courts under last government.

➡️ Priced low paid workers out of justice.

➡️ Cost more to set up than they generated.

A gimmick that would do nothing to help employers or employees. https://t.co/yUIy4grLX3

Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day.

We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe.

We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

The UK government must condemn Israel in the strongest possible terms for this egregious behaviour

It should demand the release of the vessel and its crew and allow them safe passage to enable them to carry out their mission.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

DEMAND SAFE PASSAGE NOW.
Governments failed—so ordinary people are risking their lives to deliver aid and open a lifeline to Gaza. After 17 years of siege and total collapse, the minimum governments can do is ensure safe passage for this legal, vital mission

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

PM must accept Israel is committing genocide. UNISON-led emergency motion to fully suspend arms sales to Israel backed by Labour conference. It called on ministers to accept the findings of UN report that Netanyahu's government was committing genocide. https://t.co/IH8G5ErOq1

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

This is incorrect. The ECHR is written into the Good Friday Agreement for good reason. It is the guarantor of anti-discrimination which is central to the GFA, and an international guarantor is needed because the GFA is a treaty between Britain and Ireland.

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

🚨On both social and traditional media it’s easy to find commentary claiming that Nigel Farage’s extreme deportations policy and the recent series of anti-migrant protests represent the will of the British people. But they don’t.⬇️https://t.co/MrVC3YL3BH
