This victory by SAS cabin crew is well-earned. They remained steadfast in their determination for fair pay. Congratulations 👏

Good question 🎯 "Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?" Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories...

Reform UK (REFUK) is a retirement home for failed and discredited Conservatives who created the mess the country is in…

Workers at Scandinavian airline at Heathrow receive pay increase and improved terms and conditions after strike action. @unitetheunion.bsky.social time and again wins improved pay for our members in the civil air transport sector and this victory at SAS shows the power in a union.

Fishing News article on how we worked with Glasgow School of Art to create a virtual Viola. The ship, which is still around, now beached at Grytviken, South Georgia, had an epic career and whilst on Admiralty service had many engagements with enemy U-boats and was directly involved in two sinkings.

Over the last two years, @unitetheunion.bsky.social has consistently called out the profiteers driving the cost-of-living crisis. While workers have been hit with the biggest fall in real wages and living standards in generations, corporations have racked up hundreds of billions in profits.

Wednesday 10 January 1968. It was on this day 58 years ago the #Hull trawlers St. Romanus and Kingston Peridot set sail from St Andrews Dock. Tragically, neither vessel returned. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

A deal to end the Birmingham bin strikes was at one point agreed in principle with council officials but was blocked by government-appointed commissioners.🤷‍♀️ A fair deal must be put forward for bin workers so that this dispute can be ended. 2/2 🔚

"Our doors remain open, for @unitetheunion.bsky.social to put forward constructive suggestions." @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social ?????????? Well, we've been asking since July 2025 for negotiations to resume with none taking place. And................... 1/2 ⤵️

The #Hull trawler St. Romanus sailed from St Andrews Dock on 10 January 1968 and the last contact was a radio telephone call that night by the skipper Jim Wheeldon to his wife. A search began on 13 January but she was never found and lost with all 20 men. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

Well, fancy that. A man who never let toxic friendships get in the way of personal ambition. Peter Mandelson declines to apologise for association with Jeffrey Epstein www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Hull Fishing Heritage Centre will hold a memorial service in memory the crew of the Hull trawler St Romanus at 11am this Sunday 11 January on Hessle Road at the Boulevard junction. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

Not one single negotiation since July 2025. @unitetheunion.bsky.social urges @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social to get back to the table and negotiate a fair deal for our members. The ongoing bin strike is a direct result of the council’s mismanagement of its finances. #Birmingham

Trump’s America: - ICE agents murder US citizen driving away from them - kidnaps foreign head of state - threatens to invade allies - soft on Russian invasion of Ukraine - unilaterally tears up trade agreements - backs far-right parties in Europe - sabotages climate treaties - leaves WHO

📈 TESCO In the past four years, food prices in the UK have rocketed by a staggering 40% – yet between 2020/21 and 2024/5 Tesco saw its operating profit balloon by almost three quarters (72%). This sort of rampant profiteering is simply a disgrace, and it must be stopped.

A new report by the government’s own patient safety investigator reveals that far from being confined to winter, corridor care in England is now entirely normalised all year round. The government needs to stop dragging its feet and publish national data on the extent of this crisis to eradicate it.

Good news! ☺️🍾 Specialist blood staff working for east London’s Homerton NHS Trust are celebrating after being moved to a higher wage rate and given almost five years’ back pay in recognition of their expertise. london.unison.org.uk/2026/01/08/h...

🪧STRIKE | Leeds Council transport services It's completely unacceptable that council cuts are not only putting our hardworking members at risk but also people who rely on this vital service. Workers should never bear the brunt of funding cuts.

Households are being fleeced pure and simple! Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made £30 billion profit in just one year. The government is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. Everyday people cannot continue to pay.😡

Absolutely fantastic Report!

It's not too late for Labour to drop the stealth tax on workers' pay and pensions. It's time to raise the money needed to rebuild the country from those who have caused the crisis and profited from it. ⤵️

I don’t think many people even know about this form of NHS privatisation🚨 it’s time to raise the alarm. This newsletter edition is free for everyone to read- click the link to sign up: jujuliagrace.substack.com

Hesitations about Britain fully participating in Europe’s single market appear to be because of fears about freedom of movement causing a surge in immigration. But, as I wrote years ago, that fear is unfounded: labourlist.org/2018/06/rich...

STAND warmly invites you to their 37th annual Lost Trawlermen's Day Service. All welcome.

The government should be working with Phillips 66 to ensure the sale of Lindsey oil refinery retains and creates jobs and helps safeguard the nation’s energy security rather than harming it. The Labour government needs to finally get into gear. Its net zero policies are hurting workers.

Investigating the Investigators Thank you to all those of you who have written to say how as one person did "it is as if you'd written about my treatment during an investigation that cleared me but was so awful it led to me leaving the NHS" lnkd.in/eEruMSaJ

Absolutely fantastic Report!

Looks like this is topical again! My piece on why the single market and customs union matter so much: labourlist.org/2025/07/uk-r...

Since the #CostOfLivingCrisis in 2021, #energy price inflation has hammered real terms living standards for workers and their families. It’s time to close the chapter on deregulated market madness. Take back control with public ownership.

Sunday 11 January will be the 58th anniversary of the loss of Hull trawler St. Romanus and her crew of 20 men. She was the first of three ships lost in the severe winter of 1968. A tragedy that shocked the nation a became known as the Triple Trawler Disaster.

Trump's attack on Venezuela, like Putin's attack on Ukraine, both tear international law to shreds. It returns us to an era where states use miltary force to gain resources or territory irrespective of the deaths and destruction they create.

Politicians tried to convince everyone that the NHS was about to collapse because of flu and strikes. Now the strikes have ended and the flu looks like it’s on the wane, and yet the service is under extraordinary pressure. Perhaps the real problem is the politicians 🚨- who have systematically…

Reminder: The UK government is still on Twitter, where much of this material (along with all the other stuff the Online Safety Act is meant to protect us from) is freely available.

Heating and electricity bills will rise again this winter while energy companies continue to rake in obscene profits. Why is it always workers and communities that have to pay? These are the wrong choices when there is an overwhelming case for owning energy ourselves.

As a trade union leader, my energy is directed to defend workers and they are fed up of carrying the can. From jobless transitions, soaring energy prices and profiteering, lack of investment in UK plc and a stealth tax in the last budget, it’s clear the Govt needs to depart from its current path.

Is much NHS discipline unfair and pointless? I wrote this over 5 years ago and it seems even more relevant today after the publication of "Investigating the Investigators! mdxminds.com/2019/07/16/i...

The question for 2026 will be who pays? Workers and communities cannot continue to pay for crisis after crisis not of their making. Food bills up by 40%. Energy bills up by 42%. We need a vision that means workers and communities live - not just exist. 5/6

Energy profits £30 billion in one year -£500 of an average energy bill - pure profit. It's time to own our own energy. Thank you for all you do for workers and our communities. Together we will keep fighting to make sure the workers’ voice is heard — loud and clear - roll on a workers' 2026.✊ 6/6

As promised, we undertook investigations as part of Project Clean Up. The interim report confirmed serious historic failings on the Birmingham Hotel and Affiliated services. I remain determined to uncover the full truth and recover our members' money. 4/6

Labour have made wrong choices, from the winter fuel debacle, pushed back in no small part by a strong campaign lead by our retired members, to the expansion of stealth taxes on everyday people while the super- rich go virtually untouched. 2/6

Under my leadership we'll always put workers' first. We won't sell our soul, stay silent for political favour. We'll continue to fight for jobs, pay, public services & a workers' transition to Net Zero & AI. We cannot have a jobless transition. Labour must invest in our industries. Back Britain. 3/6

Together we are delivering change, putting Unite back where it belongs: in the workplace. Fighting for workers, jobs, pay & conditions. £620 million+ won for members in dispute Millions secured through day-to-day negotiations No more blank cheques for Labour Resources refocused on the frontline 1/6
