Today the @fbumerseyside Brigade Committee met.

The message was clear

#VoteReject

[FBU Merseyside @fbumerseyside]

The Region 5 Regional Committee met yesterday to discuss the 3.8% pay offer.

It's fair to say, they were not impressed.

Today the @fbumerseyside Brigade Committee meets to discuss the offer.

Ask the government to stand firm on its pledge to ban zero hours contracts. I just signed, can you?

This is a key moment: some businesses are pushing for the protections to be watered down ahead of the government’s upcoming consultation. https://t.co/sq5Cl1D8AF via @megaphoneuk

🚨 NEW: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon previously claimed women “can’t drive” and get abortions for “vanity purposes” to “shag anyone they want”

He admitted: “I’m sexist, sorry but I am”

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

🚨 SHOCKING — These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be run…

Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:

“I don’t understand the Constitution…
I don’t understand standing orders…
I don’t understand what an amendment is.”

Then they whine it’s “not democratic” they might vote on things they don’t understand

This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.

Handing real power to people who don’t even know where to start is how countries collapse.

@onejhh @Taj_Ali1 What's your solution?

[Lee @leejhunter]

Whether you are a Liverpool FC fan or not. The impact that Mo Salah has had on this city and the UK is undeniable.

A man who has genuinely broken down societal barriers.

Fantastic piece from @Taj_Ali1

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Mo Salah: the man who made Anfield his prayer mat. I spoke to Liverpool fans at Anfield and in Toxteth about the Egyptian king and his impact on the city.

Mark Bonnick explains how #Arsenal sacked him for opposing the genocide in Gaza:

“I don’t regret speaking out about Palestine.”

Israel has just passed a law to introduce the death penalty against Palestinians. Demand the British government takes action by calling for sanctions now! https://t.co/bPzwEDHGVR

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

On Monday, I will not support carve-outs that keep parts of the state beyond accountability.

That would fundamentally undermine the purpose of the Hillsborough Law.

I will vote with @IanByrneMP to end the culture of cover-ups that denied justice.

[Hillsborough Law Now @NowHillsborough]

Only one banner remained at the Kop end as You'll Never Walk Alone finished playing at today's Liverpool- Burnley game.

Hillsborough Law Now.

[Lee @leejhunter]

Governments over many years have lied and forced countless families years of hurt.

Some died whilst fighting for justice.

This is yet another betrayal by a Labour.

@IanByrneMP and those who drafted and fought for this law are right not to accept a watered down version.
