Reform UK are no friends of transport workers. They want to strip our rights, ban strikes and make it easier to fire and rehire. We will defend our jobs and our rights. ✊ #RMT #WorkersRights #TradeUnion

Honoured to attend the RMT Disabled Members Conference as the NEC member. Good to hear the work of our members, important issues being raised and debated, and to report back from the NEC on progress made on last year’s resolutions. #RMT #DisabledMembers #NEC #DMAC #Conference

First weekend of the overbridge closure. 🚧👥 Extremely busy on the ground. Disappointing to hear that management were only present on the gateline for around 1.5 hours. When pressure is at its highest, staff need visible support, not token appearances.

Here’s a short, sharp version: Blocking Andy Burnham exposes the weakness of Keir Starmer. Clinging on. Personal ambition over party and country. When leaders start shutting others down, their time is nearly up.

Finished my last shift at EMR for the next three years. From 1 January, I start as National Executive Committee member for the Midlands with the @RMTunion. I’ll be putting members’ concerns at the forefront of everything I do and I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead ✊

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals. That's 'too expensive'. But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it. Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.

ID cards are a threat to civil liberties, to our data security and risk people’s private info being handed to US tech giants for profit. They’re also a total waste of time and money when the government should be focused on the real priority: tackling the cost of living crisis.

Greater Anglia is back in public hands 🚆 Privatisation has failed. Govt must speed this up, bring every franchise back & end outsourcing so all rail workers get equal pay, terms & conditions. Public transport should serve people, not profit. ✊ #RMT #PublicOwnership

What a 🤡 how will digital id’s make us safe? He will say anything in the hope that he will finally be rewarded with a MP seat!
Digital ID will make us safe and protect access to services for those entitled ... no wonder the grifting Reform Party is up in arms ... they are the party of scammers and tax dodgers

Grateful to Coventry No.1 Branch for nominating me last night. Your support means a lot. We also had a powerful discussion on workplace violence — it must never be normalised. We need action, not silence. #KC4NEC #RMT #NEC #Midlands #Region6
