We revealed Nigel Farage’s voting record to his constituents in Clacton.

They weren’t happy.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

It’s always a tragedy when someone goes to work & doesn’t come home.

Heartbreaking for the family, friends and union colleagues of the driver who lost their life. Thinking of them and all the emergency services staff involved.

Solidarity & condolences from all at @The_TUC

Our thoughts are with those affected by the horrific stabbings in Edinburgh yesterday.

Anti-Muslim hatred - or any form of racism - has no place in our society.

We cannot allow our country to become more fractured. We are much stronger when we come together and reject division.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

He has that sentence the wrong way round.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Such sad news, condolences from the whole of the TUC family of unions.

Hollywood studios are searching Reddit for short stories and ideas that can be turned into movies following the success of ‘BACKROOMS.’

Reform’s domestic violence strategy is to cross fingers England win. How on earth is this a party serious about women's safety?

[Sarah Pochin MP @SarahForRuncorn]

For the sake of women’s safety we need England to keep winning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Reform want to turn the clock back on women's rights. Don't fall for it.

When I was kid, if you worked in the public sector you’d never be a millionaire, but you had decent pay, a pension, sick pay & career progression.

Outsourcing sacrificed decent jobs for shareholder dividends.

It’s time to right that wrong & this a good step towards that.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

@pcs_union This is an important step towards the government’s promise to deliver the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation.

Good things can happen - if you fight for it.

After campaigning from @pcs_union, today the government announced that thousands of outsourced low-paid workers are to be brought in house. They will see a massive improvement to their pay and conditions.

Trump in the 🇺🇸 = Farage in 🇬🇧

A country that fails working people.

That is more divided and narrow-minded.

That defunds public services and only delivers for the billionaires.

Want ICE in the UK? Here's the president of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, on what that looks like.

@AFLCIO

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Elon Musk could build hospitals. He could fund schools and universities. He could help eradicate diseases.

Instead he uses his wealth to fuel hate.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Flying visit to Minneapolis for @AFLCIO 2026

Sobering to be in the city where Renee Goode & union member Alex Pretti were murdered by ICE in January, & George Floyd was murdered 6 years ago sparking global outrage.

Great to see 🇺🇸 union movement growing despite Trump’s attacks.

We won sick pay, pregnancy protections and an end to no-fault evictions because workers and renters organised and demanded them. Now Reform UK's Great Repeal Bill pledges to scrap the Employment Rights Act, the Renters' Rights Act, and even the Equality Act that protects you from discrimination at work.

Scrapping your rights won't lower your bills or raise your pay. It just hands power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

Workers across the country are putting posters up in their workplaces and telling Parliament: oppose the Great Repeal Bill.

Bills are going up - so are bank profits.

Increasing the bank surcharge tax would pay for a cut to energy bills up to £559 a year.

It's time to redistribute wealth.

If union-busting billionaires can blast their pop star friends into space, they can pay more tax.
