Wow, this is absolutely reprehensible! Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable and those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account. Birmingham’s bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council. 1/2

Great news for #Nottingham. “We are financially stable, we are nowhere near bankrupt. The budget includes a £15m investment in front-line services, which will be spent in part on neighbourhood safety officers, street cleaning & setting up community grants.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A trip down memory lane and a tremendous night of nostalgia with #TheWeddingPresent at #RockCity

We got tickets! We’re off to see #Kraftwerk in #Notts next June. Cheers @davearmour.bsky.social !

Solidarity, support and love to Jewish friends, colleagues and citizens in #Manchester, #Nottingham and across the UK. We must eradicate this evil. #Antisemitism will never have a place in our city, country or #labour movement #SynagogueAttack

On this day, 2 October 1766 the Great #CheeseRiot of #Nottingham, began. At #GooseFair, a mob formed who were angry at the excessive price of #cheese. Groups of mostly women and children seized cheeses & began wheeling or carrying them away. For more info & posters visit:[email protected]

Delighted to have completed another Robin Hood Half Marathon. I was well behind Tom but raised £570 for IMARA. We are both chuffed with our efforts. Thanks to all who sponsored me!

Proud to be running #RobinHoodHalf for #IMARA you can still sponsor me here:- app.givematch.com/fr/4AMYUs8y#... #Nottingham #RunForIMARA

A convincing 4 nil win at fires us into a play off position. An assured team performance with some superb subs to silence the critics. You magnificent Magpies! #NottsCounty #COYP #LeagueTwo

The right to dissent is essential in any democracy. The state shouldn’t be arresting retired Doctors & octogenarian vicars for holding placards, citizens for distasteful tweets and suppressing art that criticises attacks on our civil liberties. We must change course. #BanksyMural

Solidarity and best wishes to @rmtunion.bsky.social members on strike on the #London Underground. The #RMT has consistently taken on bad employers, fought for their members and our movement across the country. They are the best of us. There is power in a union!

Two articles published the same day from The #Torygraph #AngelaRayner

Get in!!! Managed to get tickets for #Babyshambles at #RockCity for 8th December. Grab 'em while you can:- alttickets.com/babyshambles-t… alttickets.co#gigsg#Nottinghamam

Spin it however you like, but electing a privately educated, ex Lib Dem, career politician ensconced in one of London’s fastest gentrifying boroughs is neither ‘revolutionary’ or a ‘breath of fresh air’, it’s normal service resumes for a party that represents that demographic.

Highly recommend #DennisMorris “Music + Life” The photos of #BobMarley and the #SexPistols are iconic and well known, but his #reggae shots and those of everyday life in #Southall and elsewhere are superb documents that capture an era. I hope to catch the exhibition #photography

#Newport away. First match of the season and we looked better than expected. Good to get a point away from home and a warm welcome from the locals. Come on You ‘Pies!!! #COYP #NottsCounty #LeagueTwo

Looking forward to hearing the whole of #TheNewEves album on Friday and seeing them live at @RoughTrade #Nottingham next week. A much anticipated debut likely to be popular with #AcidFolk #Velvets #TheRaincoats fans @transgressive.bsky.social

If you haven’t seen it before or even if you have, #TheRedRidingTrilogy is a stunning piece of northern noir which does justice to the dark #DavidPeace novels #Netflix

Delighted to march with friends from the #NEU and across the labour movement to celebrate #Nottingham #Pride. It’s particularly great to catch up with old friends, ex pupils and activists who fight for the right for people to be who they are at work and everywhere else.

A glorious day to be alive and to walk with Dad from #Nottingham to #Beeston and back taking in some of our favourite pubs. He’s 81 and still loving life. Here’s to many more days like this!

It’s a privilege to picket with these superb #NEU members at Outwood Academy Portland, #Worksop, on our 12th day of strike action against the imposition of extra hours and workload. They’ve faced intimidation, misinformation and divide and conquer tactics. They’ve stood together and will win! #OGAT

Out on a picket at St Joseph’s on Derby Road with #NEU members on strike to defend their pensions. Show them some support if you come past! #Nottingham

4.5 million children in the UK are living in poverty. This is has been worsened by the two-child limit on universal credit. End it now! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I’ll be on this march. I don’t think it’s acceptable for us to look on and claim our silence isn’t facilitating mass murder in clear and obvious violation of international law. #MarchForPalestine #Labour #Nottingham #CeasefireNOW

The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike! Out supporting Health Care Workers on strike at City Hospital #Nottingham for back pay they’ve been robbed of. They’ve been on strike every day this week, get down and support them! #UNISON #Solidarity

#RIP #SlyStone a hugely talented and influential musician whose music will live on and give inspiration and enjoyment to many generations. Rest in power Sly!

Massive match today. Can’t be in London for 12.30pm so cheering on #Notts from the pub. Whatever happens, let’s get behind our club. We’ve been in much trickier situations and we’ve made real progress. Come on You ‘Pies!!!! #NottsCounty #LeagueTwo #PlayOffs

We should always remember and honour our greatest generation who defended our country and liberated Europe from the evils of fascism with many making the ultimate sacrifice so that others could be free #VEDay #VEDay80

It’s always an uplifting experience marching in #Chesterfield for #MayDay celebrating International Workers Day and meeting friends across the labour movement. Today was no exception. Thanks for organising @ChesterfieldTuc see you next year! #IWD2025

Nothing is built without the toil of the workers, there is dignity and value in all labour. #Solidarity, love and greetings to all in the labour movement across the globe on #IWD2025 #InternationalWorkersDay #Mayday #Mayday2025

Happy Birthday Dad! A fantastic weekend celebrating Dad’s 81st in the lovely city of #Bristol. He’d last been over 50 years ago and loved his return. Hope to be back soon! #HappyBirthdayDad

Spring lambs, standing stones and spectacular views on a 13 mile circular walk from Winster taking in Youlgreave, Stanton Moor, Birchover and much more on the #LimestoneWay. #Derbyshire #PeakDistrict

Support the #BrumBinStrikers who face £8000 pay cuts. If you can, donate to their strike fund:- Unite West Mids, Sort-60-83-01, Account - 20174000 #Brum @unitetheunion.bsky.social @unitesharon.bsky.social @uniteeastmids.bsky.social #Birmingham #UniteTheUnion

Fair pay for Health Care Workers! Delighted to support #UNISON members on strike at City Hospital. These workers are underpaid and deserve the support of all the #Labour movement. They’re back on the picket tomorrow 6.30am till 2pm. See you there! #Nottingham

A beautiful day to be alive and to walk 12 miles around #CurbarEdge, #FrogattEdge #Grindleford in the #DerbyshireDales #PeakDistrict

You Magnificent Magpies!!! Another 3 points, an outstanding performance from Jarvis with a brilliant goal and we are two points off second on a strong run of form. We can do this. Come on You ‘Pies!!! #NottsCounty #LeagueTwo #COYP

Get in!!!! 3 points and a much better performance. Well worth the 6 hour round trip. Come on You ‘Pies!!! #NottsCounty #Newport #COYP

Tremendous fun at the lively triple bill of US #hardcorepunk pioneers #descendentsband #circlejerksband and #negativeapproach at #rockcity Keep blasting ‘em out and stickin’ it to the man! #hardcore #punk #nottingham

Many critics of #AshSarkar clearly haven’t read #MinorityRule which argues for a material class analysis & that solidarity is built through collective struggle not reductionist identity politics. This won’t be a revelation to trade unionists, but it’s a debate worth having.

Loving the latest batch of #OnUSound #DubSyndicate vinyl re-issues. They sound even better than I remember them! #Dub #Roots #OnUSound #Reggae

41 years ago 'Minor Threat' aka 'First Two Seven' Inches is a compilation album by the American hardcorepunk band Minor Threat, released in March 1984 and consists of the first two extended plays 'Minor Threat' and 'In My Eyes' . #punk #punkrock #minorthreat #punkrockhistory

A poor performance until the subs came on and Tsaroulla in particular made a real difference. Ref had a bad game and we were unlucky. It happens. Come on You ‘Pies!!! #NottsCounty #COYP

Welcome to the Lane Mai. Looks a great signing for our push for promotion. Come on You ‘Pies!!! #MaiTraore #NottsCounty

From today’s Football League Paper:

Get in!!!! Another away win and we’re second in the league. You magnificent Magpies!!!! #NottsCounty #COYP

Across Europe and over the ocean there are those who seek to stir up hatred and deny that in living memory, that hatred lead to the mass murder of millions. Today, it’s more important than ever to recognise #HolocaustMemorialDay and learn from it. #NeverAgain

He’s very much missed. It’s 7 years to the day since #MarkESmith died. Career overview interview with comments on past albums and an interviewer MES actually seems to like. In a selection of #Manchester pubs obviously #FallFriday

45 years ago and it still sounds great. A statement of intent on one of their finest 45s #DexysMidnightRunners #DanceStance #BurnItDown

He’d say it isn’t the end. Sad to hear #DavidLynch has died. A true original. Fell in love with his films in the ‘80s with #BlueVelvet. My favourite was #MullhollandDrive and I adored #TwinPeaks. Thanks David!
