As someone who was in local Government it is sadly too common for opposition parties to claim that there is a magic hidden pot of money which councillors/officers have simply ignored. The reason councils of all stripes have had to increase council tax is because the funding model is broken.

the good news for Kemi Badenoch is that she's actually being handed on a silver platter an opportunity to partially detoxify her party without needing to do anything other than appear non-toxic the bad news is that she is Kemi Badenoch

GMB are at the @jewishlabour.bsky.social One Day Conference all day to promote the @gmblondonregion.bsky.social Jewish Faith Workers Branch and the work we’re proud to do with JLM. Come see us!

No that’s ok I didn’t want to be on your stupid lists anyway

2025 might be nearly over but it’s not too late to start revising for 2026

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.

Wow Chris Mason will be absolutely furious when he finds out who the BBC Political Editor is

I'm sorry, what? Green Peers voting with Tories and Lib Dems to undermine the Employment Rights Bill in the House of Lords.... 👀🟩

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

I’m calling on the UK Government to seriously review its presence on X (formerly Twitter) and then leave. It’s not just a communication channel anymore. Read more: www.politicshome.com/news/article... 1/10

Look who I bumped into in the park as a special birthday treat #celebspotting #daymade

Parliamentary staff of colour earn £2,000 less than white colleagues, study suggests

The invective that Daisley hurls at Muslims he would have hurled at my great-grandparents when they came here and indeed much of it is still true of the ethnic group he slobbers over. 'Aggressive integration policies' do not work in France and would diminish Jewish life here in the UK.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

thinking of everyone emerging tonight on this horrible day, our community is strong and this is our home

"I hear again and again that the Israelis – the Jews – had it coming. Knowing allusions to Jewish influence, Jewish power. Stereotypes of Jewish cruelty." Written before today's attack on a Manchester synagogue. It's the kind of piece I never thought I'd write. www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

Thank you to the GMP officers who, it seems, prevented the terrorist hurting anyone else. And thank you to the CST volunteers who protect British Jews every day. For those doing so, wishing them an easy fast.

THANK YOU CONFERENCE #Lab25

Hundreds of content moderators are being laid off by TikTok. Now they're unionising and speaking out. @cwunews.bsky.social

Let’s cut through the bullshit pretence around free speech. At best that is motivated reasoning, at worst it is hate-mongers using liberalism they despise as cover while laughing at our free society.

Every individual, every organisation and public body committed to peaceful politics in the UK needs to stop posting on it. You know the mantra: The best time to do that was months ago, the second best time is now.

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

"My school saves thousands of pounds every year from those solar panels." The TUC directly takes on Reform, a party funded by the fossil fuel Industry. Posted on IG by tradesunioncongress

Abi Young is our Health and Safety rep at Birmingham Airport. In a year she has: 📈 more than doubled union membership ✈️ improved working conditions We couldn't be more proud that she's won H&S rep of the year at #TUC25

Excellent @gmblondonregion.bsky.social School Support Staff Conference today in Euston. GMB - the union for school support staff!

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

No, empty homes won't be enough to fix the housing crisis. It may be a vote winner. That doesn’t make it right. A tepeat for the weekday morning crowd

RECOGNITION AGREEMENT SIGNED Delighted to announce GMB recognition agreed with Medirest at Barnet Hospital - giving hundreds more NHS outsourced workers the structures they need to negotiate on pay and conditions @gmblondonregion.bsky.social @gmb.org.uk

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! #lionesses

P&O Ferries boss got pay rise of at least 55% after firing almost 800 workers

All governments are imperfect but they are NOT "all the same". The lazy trope that "it doesn't matter who you vote for" isn't just false; it feeds the nihilism on which the radical right prey. It's like a burning tyre, coating everything in acrid smoke, choking off any meaningful democratic choice

Wild to think that there are presumably still several highly paid professional comms people at CCHQ and the the best they can come up with is Nigelry Corbage

Buckle up everyone the Highway Code is woke now

Lawbreaking is "out of control", says well-known respecter of laws and rules, Robert Jenrick

If I had to write ‘How They Broke Britain’ all over again, Nick Clegg would get at least a chapter. An agent of immeasurable harm.

⏰The clock is ticking! There are now less than 3 weeks left to take part in the consultation on Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting! Here’s @CampaignerAbdi highlighting GMB’s presence at last week’s event and why it’s so important that we’re part of this conversation. 👇 #EthnicityPayGapReporting

Brave new change of direction for Classic Car Weekly

this is a Sin in the true sense of the word. it is anti-human. it is an insult to what makes us living things with a soul.

This Labour government’s free breakfast clubs will ensure children are fuelled up and ready to learn, all while saving parents up to £450. From today, rollout to the first 750 schools begins, a number which includes local schools Our Lady of Loudres, St Helen's, and Heycroft.

Chag Pesach Sameach from our family to yours ❤️

Regardless of your political views, think we can agree the stuff being put in to Reform UK local groups is horrific. Here’s Reform UK Bishop Auckland, run by Kenny Hope the candidate for Delves Lane, County Durham where Farage just visited. Reform UK get your house in order.

Typical leftist scaremongering from famous socialist... [checks notes] Rand Paul
