@_CallumAnderson @GMB_MPs_Staff @GMBPoliticsLDN we’ve appreciated your support!

@politico One Parliament One Employer would not stop MPs choosing their own staff.

Parliament would simply be the legal employer, taking on the HR and payroll, exactly as works in other parliaments like New Zealand. Same choice for MPs, proper protections for staff.

[GMB Members’ Staff @GMB_MPs_Staff]

Our campaign. Our words. Now our union’s policy.

Nearly 5,000 of us, treated differently depending on which MP we work for.

“We don’t want a plaster on the cracks of a defunct structure.” #OneParliamentOneEmployer*

[Lisa Gillmore @lisagillmore]

Proud of our branch and looking forward to moving the motion on One Parliament, One Employer tomorrow 🧡✊

The Government's new package of support for the ceramics sector is huge.

This will make a massive difference for energy intensive sectors.

Workers have a Government that listens.

Chelsea have won more games in all competitions against Tottenham than we have against any other club.

BREAKING: BBC selects the UK’s 2027 entry for The Eurovision Song Contest:

[Carl McQueen @CarlSMcQueen]

Thoroughly enjoying the conspiracy theory comments on this video when it was just the camera crew and correspondent on shift in the region that we sent there at 7am to hang around by his house to see if he’d come out at some point and speak to us about him choosing to stand for Parliament/if he wants to be the next prime minister. Happens to any politicians when there’s public interest in a story. We were also at an address for Wes Streeting yesterday morning. Never saw him.

Don’t overthink it. If I were in charge of the MSM conspiracy, Swindon Town would’ve been back in the Premier League a long time ago.

[Nic Dakin MP @NicDakin55]

Off to Buckingham Palace to be the “hostage” ensuring HM The King’s safe return when he opens Parliament - a tradition dating back to Charles I. Not sure I’m looking forward to it, but glad to play my part!

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

A friend of mine messaged me this week, more than a little frustrated at what she feels is silence from people who she would expect to be vocal in calling out antisemitism in public.

She’s Jewish, her children are escorted to their sports field by security guards and now there are police guarding the school too. “Wouldn’t it be nice if people posted their support for the U.K. Jewish community” she wrote. I felt a bit uneasy replying - won’t it look like I’m claiming some understanding of a community I’m not part of? Is it a bit performative? Is there something more useful I can do?

But she’s right - it’s gross that children can’t play sport without a security escort. Can you imagine how you’d feel if that was your child? You’d be wildly angry and you’d want everyone to be shouting about it. And we’re not, not really. Often, I think, because people are afraid to be drawn into a political debate they don’t fully understand or feel comfortable with and they just don’t want the hassle.

But this isn’t a political debate. It’s about people turning on our friends and threatening them, attacking them and killing them and it’s happening here. It’s that simple. I am ashamed that children can’t go to school here without a police escort - something has gone horribly wrong. And I’m sorry that we haven’t been more vocal, we should be. It is that simple.

This article struck a chord, but I don’t think it applies only to British Muslims. It applies to us all.

Silence on antisemitism shames us as British Muslims

This is terrible to see. If incidents like this continue to occur, Members of Parliament will become increasingly less accessible for the safety of them and their teams

[Connor Naismith MP @connor_naismith]

This evening, while attempting to carry out my duties as the Member of Parliament, to do media interviews to give more information about the situation at Webb House, my staff and I were followed and subjected to serious harassment, abuse and intimidation...

[Kate Dearden MP @Kate_Dearden]

Today, 2.7 million workers are getting a pay rise.

Increases to the National Minimum and Living Wages mean full-time workers could earn up to £1,500 more this year.

As Minister for Employment Rights, I’m proud to help deliver this ➡️ boosting pay and helping with living costs

[Nusrat Ghani MP @Nus_Ghani]

Delighted to chat and take questions on women in leadership and gender pay gap to @HouseofCommons MP staffers for International Women’s Day- extending the ladder 🪜 @GMB_MPs_Staff

It is the 5th anniversary of this milestone in political photography

Sounds like Mario is in the Commons

[Ashley Dalton MP @AshleyDalton_MP]

Delighted to see @SharonHodgsonMP become the new Minister for Public Health and Prevention. Her dedication to public health and advocacy for those harmed by sodium valproate and pelvic mesh stands her in good stead to take up this role. I’ll be cheering her on from the backbench.

"It's close to £90,000..."

Labour MP Rosie Wrighting, who is on a Plan Two student loan, tells @vicderbyshire about her current repayment debt.

Provisional pay changes for MPs’ staff adds further acknowledgment that progression for women’s wages in Parliament has been hindered by an outdated pay banding system.

We welcome this step to address this and encourage IPSA to go further.

Do the producers not see that there was something slightly ironic about the imagery of the panel whilst Ailbhe Rea was asked if the Government is a boys club
