There's a buzz about our conference - bringing together leaders from the trade union movement, co-operative movement, and the heart of Government. 🐝
It's been a fantastic day for our Party and an incredible year for our movement - and we're only getting started.

That’s what powers Pride in Place and that’s what makes Community Britain so important.

There's been a decrease in abuse towards shopworkers this year, but any abuse is too much, as @usdawunion.bsky.social find nearly three quarters of retail staff have faced verbal abuse from customers.

A new Director General, a new Charter... a new model of ownership?
It's all change at the BBC, but the change to a mutual model is well overdue.
We think the BBC should be owned by you, the public.

To commemorate those who died for our country, I laid a stake yesterday in the House of Commons’ remembrance garden for Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton.
It is important we take some time during this period to reflect and remember all those who have given so much for us & for future generations.

Reform wants to erode public sector pensions in a race to the bottom.
Be clear, these are the pensions of some of the lowest paid frontline workers in the country. Not gold plated, just fair reward for a life of hard work.

EXCL: Reform UK is eyeing up sweeping changes to public sector pensions, Richard Tice has indicated. Nigel Farage’s deputy told me “how long can we carry on offering defined benefit pensions to all public sector workers?” is a massive Q “not properly discussed in Westminster”

I don’t mind Tories saying the current laws, rules or guidance on any issue isn’t good enough, providing they at least acknowledge they introduced them and now need the Labour government to make them better.
