Great weekend in Wigan with the unitetheunion.bsky.social National Labour Party Liaison Committee on which I serve for @uniteneyh.bsky.social. Polished off with a trip to the Labour Unions rally this morning - with a visit by Mr Burnham.

Well you only have to look at the Royals don't ya mate?

Dear, oh dear. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

With colleagues from @unitetheunion.bsky.social at The University of Sheffield for today's Staff Network event. Now more than ever, it's important for working people to #JoinAUnion. It was great to catch up with our neighbours in @unisonyh.bsky.social too. @uniteneyh.bsky.social

Not the biggest fan of Jess Phillips, but can 100% believe that in her remit as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, she was badly let down by the inaction of this government and left to carry the can for said inaction.

It's all well and good Labour MPs calling for everyone to get behind Keir Starmer "for the sake of the country" - but it's not the job of left-leaning voters to make themselves support Keir Starmer - it's his job to win us over

The Labour Party was created to fight gross inequality. One job. Pure and simple.

On a day when the worst of us are celebrating, let's take time to celebrate the best of us. Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough. Perhaps it's time we started to listen to you.

Well overdue!

Reform UK is a racist party. If you're voting today, please don’t vote for a racist party.

Oi oi! Me and Donkey Dave - twice in one week - this time at the legendary Chesterfield May Day:

During the commemoration of the General Strike today in Barnsley, it was my pleasure to hand out flyers about Chesterfield's legendary May Day event on behalf of Chesterfield TUC. Interesting that many comrades there were aware of our TUC's success in marking May Day over the years.

Lovely to see our inspiring General Secretary, Sharon Graham, today in Barnsley at the centenary celebration of the General Strike. @unitetheunion.bsky.social

Wonderful day of solidarity in Barnsley today commemorating the centenary of the #GeneralStrike. I was very proud to carry Unite North East Yorkshire & Humber's Equality banner with my friend and Unite sister Janine. @unitetheunion.bsky.social

How sh*t a candidate do you have to be if your runner up is George-frigging-Osborne?

Note to all waiting staff: you know what to do if this fella ever orders fluids from you.

Can't plead insanity.

First they come for the unions: attacks on the weakest are the blueprint for the right wing, but they come for trade unions first because we are the people who organise and fight for our class. @uniteneyh.bsky.social @unitetheunion.bsky.social

Total wassock from Sheffield where there are elections in May - who erected huge Union flag on his dilapidated building, adds huge St G to it, together with an ad for Restore UK - in Chesterfield where there are no local elections in May.

Happy St George's Day, Lionhearts❤️

Ah yes, let's make Streeting leader of the Labour Party - that should put the tin hat on it...

Is it possible to despise the fact that our political system has been turned into a national melodrama, whilst at the same time thinking if they were for sale I would fork out good money to see this...?

I watched Olly Robbins' impressive performance at the Foreign Affairs select committee session today in full and find it hard not to concur that the wrong man has lost his job. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Stuttering, anxious and unconvincing. Raising more questions than he answers. This has to be the end of Starmer as PM - and what a ridiculous hill to die on. youtube.com/shorts/l-8N9...

Process shmocess. Employing Mandelson was a blatantly stupid, politically foolish, totally avoidable but sadly predictable error of judgement.

Searchable database that details the voting history and donations made to your local sitting Labour MP (link in comments): labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/t...

Let's cut the crap? Anyone with an ounce of nous saw this unravelling as soon as Mandelson's appt was made. The issue boils down to cronyism in politics, the old boys network & promoting people who align with your own ambition (blocking those who don't) rather than who would be good at the job.

Homelessness charity Centrepoint cuts ties with Sharon Osbourne after the self-proclaimed patriot who lived in Beverly Hills for 25 years, confirms her plans to attend Tommy Robinson's march.

Köszönöm for showing the fascists how it’s done❤️💚

Streeting in The Telegraph (natch) has the brass neck to raise the ghosts of Labour's glorious past, whilst taking bungs from private heathcare - Aneurin Bevan would despise him for that alone.

Stunning view of our beautiful, fragile earth from Artemis II. That's us together - all of us 💙

Last night Starmer & Streeting decided to punish you by making it harder for you to see a specialist. The NHS crisis is a political choice; last night they choose not to fix it. Remember this the next time you can’t get an appointment or your surgery is delayed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Monumentally stupid. Starmer tells resident doctors if they don’t surrender their strike, he will hurt the country by reducing future doctors. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Engine trouble for the Tractor Boys.

Well I never.

Not the smear the Daily M thought it was😊

Name that tune😜

The time to launch the local election campaign was July 2024 - in May you will be judged on what you've done since then. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It wasn't as warm as it looks and that banner was much heavier than it looks but what a great day💕💪🌈 @togetheralliance.bsky.social

Can we do the same for the angry, middle-aged, right-wing geezers on my timeline?

It's a wrap💜. What a pleasure it was to spend time with trade unionists at the @tuc.org.uk North East, Yorkshire & Humber Regional Conference in Durham. Can't wait till next year!

Speaking at @tuc.org.uk North East, Yorkshire & Humber. Telling comrades how disastrous Reform UK have been for residents and workers in Derbyshire and what an absolute embarrasment they have been to the county. #Joinaunion @unitetheunion.bsky.social @uniteneyh.bsky.social

Today I'm moving the motion on Reclaiming Our Working Class by Unite the union at TUC North East, Yorkshire & Humber Regional Conference

Not until he'd earned upwards of £140,000 from the platform...

Epsteinocomics...

Supporting violent rioters, neo-Nazis, paedophiles, misogynists et al - for just £87 a pop.

Michelle Mone on the phone to Trump...

Happy St Paddy's Day - enjoy the craic ☘️💚 Help the weak against the strong, Love the old when you are young, Own a fault when you are wrong, When you’re angry hold your tongue, Stand your round and give a song, Don’t forget where you come from. (Michael Brennan)
