Dear Prime Minister…
Today, I wrote to the Prime Minister to ask him to make sure money is available to fund fair pay for the council and school workers we all rely on.

Earlier after I called Boris Johnson a liar I was thrown out of Parliament immediately.
But he is a liar, and enough is enough. I needed to call it out!

It is reckless to gamble the safety of key workers - from bus drivers to supermarket staff - on individuals’ sense of personal responsibility.

If you are using public transport, anywhere in England, please wear a face covering to protect others and keep us all safe.
It really wasn’t that hard was it Prime Minister.

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media.
It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

As restrictions are lifted and increasing numbers return to their workplaces, it's crucial that we get workplace safety right and give workers and members of the public confidence.
This is how we get the country up and running again.

The Government risks driving us off a furlough cliff edge.
It should provide continued support for employers that need it – especially those hammered by the pandemic.

STUC General Secretary @RozFoyer addressed young trade unionists at the #STUCyouth21 conference on Saturday.
Now more than ever young people need trade unions, and trade unions need young people.

The scenes of abuse from Batley & Spen are disgraceful.
People shouldn't be treated like this when campaigning.
The abuse women running for public office face is as grosteque as it is unacceptable.
We stand in solidarity together.

Grenfell bosses continue to make excuses and shirk responsibility. The bereaved, survivors and residents deserve better.
