@Mark_Logan_MP do you have confidence that the people of Bolton North East will understand why you decide to back this bumbling clown posing as a leader come Election Day?

We don’t……

[Bolton Young Labour @younglabour_btn]

We can’t help but notice @Mark_Logan_MP’s silence and we can’t help but wonder does Mark Logan still support the PM?

We know he’s repeatedly backed his liar, his incompetent, failure of a boss despite him misleading the public time after time, but can he still defend him now?

"Boris Johnson is in deep peril..."

"When there are no standards at the top it creates the chaos we see beneath the PM..."

@AndyBurnhamGM explains why Boris is the worst PM of his lifetime.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Researchers at Oxford University have found over 500 deaths from treatable diseases connected to NHS privatisation.

We must put patient health before private profit. We need a publicly-owned, publicly-run NHS.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

I don’t like Jonathan Gullis either, but he’s got a democratic right to be there, distracting or no.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day (again) is ‘stiffrump’ (18th century): a highly obstinate individual who refuses to budge.

[Pamela Fitzpatrick @pamelafitz4HW]

From Mick Lynch. Solidarity @RMTunion

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

The Conservative party isn’t about conserving the built environment, or ‘nature’, (our rivers are filled with effluent), but selling both to the highest bidder.

That’s what capitalism does, reducing everything to profit and returns on investment. It’s why I’m a socialist!

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

You know how lower paid workers become higher paid workers? Join a union, collectively bargain, and play hardball.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

.@dailytelegraph: “We note you received £3K from the @RMTunion in June 2017 per the MPs' register of financial interests. You have till 5PM to comment”

My reply: “Collectively, trades union funding is the cleanest money in British politics and I’m proud to have received it.”

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

My attempt at a thread of @The_TUC banners as suggested by @LLocock with help from @spicytrev. I'm from across the pond so please forgive me if I get something wrong. Will try to tag the appropriate trade union. Feel free to add to the thread. #WeDemandBetter

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The rail strike is a last resort for the cleaners, maintenance workers and train guards who voted for it.

The Government could easily prevent it, by opposing any compulsory job losses and by offering a fair pay rise.

Instead, the Tories want to pick a fight with the @RMTunion.

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

For goodness sake! We are the Labour movement. We were born of the trade unions to secure better outcomes for working people.

I make no apology for receiving support from unions representing millions of workers & fighting to secure better wages & working conditions for us all.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Today @Moreincommon_ we have published Britons and Gender Identity. Based on polling of over 5,000 people and focus groups across the country. We found the current divisive online debates simply don't reflect the way the public think about trans and gender identity. (1/n)

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

"Under Labour, taxes go up," says Boris Johnson, who last year raised taxes by the highest amount of any Prime Minister in almost three decades. #pmqs

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

“RMT members will not meekly join the dole queue in order to protect the private profits of the people who have been ripping this country off for 30 years.”

[RMT @RMTunion]

You can't expect the public to back anything if you wilfully mislead them and this dispute is not about train drivers pay. The average wage for an @RMTunion member is also £31k - You and the truth seem to have been separated at birth.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

If the entire trade union movement was like this we’d have a £20 minimum wage, zero homelessness, a 4 day week and be retiring at 60. Great job Eddie Dempsey.

[Hugh Brechin @HughRBrechin]

big day for hearing from random Tory MPs for the first and only time before seeing them losing their job in a leisure centre at 3 on a Friday morning in a couple of years

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

🚨Conservative Cabinet minister admits that their pandemic preparation was ‘found wanting and inadequate’.🚨

This is a revealing admission and damning indictment of the Conservatives’ pandemic preparedness.

They’re not fit to govern.
