Devastated by the news of catastrophic back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela.

My thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones, and my admiration to rescuers risking their own lives, including Cuban healthcare workers providing assistance on the ground.

Email your MP about the planned closure of 6 offices in the Department for Education.
The closures could lead to compulsory redundancies for staff or forced relocations.
Members in DfE are currently being balloted for strike action over these plans.
Ask your MP to intervene!

Healthy communities and ecosystems rely on a healthy environment.

But our environment is under attack: from climate change, biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, and war.

The Green Party stands with communities everywhere taking on corporate polluters. For people and planet.

First day of our Sodexo strike was a strong success, with picket line support from PCS members, Irish Congress, Unison, UCU, Unite, NIPSA and Belfast and District Trades Council.

Gerry Murphy, assistant general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, said “Irish Congress fully supports PCS members in Sodexo on strike to defend against redundancies. Disputes like these highlight the urgent need for the Good Jobs Bill to progress to debate in the NI assembly.”

Unison's Irish regional Secretary Patricia McKeown talked about the campaign to oppose privatisation and profiteering by multinational companies across the public sector.

Maria Morgan, NIPSA deputy general secretary said "NIPSA stands with PCS members in Sodexo, on strike to fight redundancies. Stay strong, comrades. We support you".

[PCS Northern Ireland @PCS_NI]

Well done to @PeterKGeoghegan and Khadija Sharife for winning the @PrivateEyeNews Paul Foot Award — and revealing a conspiracy which for some time succeeded in suppressing scrutiny and defaming not just Sunday Times reporters, but those without the same resources to defend themselves including, above all, Paul Holden @StarmertheFraud.

He was trashed for supplying us with bulletproof documents which posed a question which years later has still never been answered: why did the entity which made Keir Starmer leader fail to declare hundreds upon thousands of pounds when it had been told it needed to?

The alacrity with which Labour ministers and MPs rightly scrutinise, for instance, Farage’s finances strangely still eludes them on this. Still some grumble about the supposed factual identity of Starmer’s adversaries — and in so doing, either inadvertently or otherwise give oxygen to many of the report’s lurid claims.

Which is why fearless journalism was the only remedy. Peter and Khadija recognised that and the whole fourth estate is fortunate they did.

And a final word: only a few of us know the sacrifices some people have made to bring this information into the public domain. Thank you to them — and let’s all remember that, according to Hansard, at least one source is being hounded by Apco, the appalling firm behind the report.

Struggling to work in the heat?

The government needs to listen to the Climate Change Committee and TUC who are calling for a maximum workplace temperature cap.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Those happy with the broken status quo don’t have to deal with reality of insecure employment, not knowing from one week to the next what will be in your pay packet.

Time to ignore the bad bosses and Tory peers and deliver a meaningful right to a guaranteed hours contract.
