I’m very proud to say I’ve been elected at the senior vice president of UNISON.

I’m proud to serve alongside President Catherine McKenna and junior vice president Debbie Rowden.

To serve our union of a million members is an absolute privilege.

I’m very glad to say I have once again been re-elected to UNISON’s National Executive Council (NEC).

It’s a great honour to represent health workers in UNISON.

So grateful for all the support and the votes from members.

Yesterday was an interesting 1st day of UNISON’s Women’s Conference.
The anti-trans protesters came. And left pretty soon afterwards.
Then in conference, women members voted unopposed to support trans inclusion, reinforcing their commitment to embracing trans women.

NEW: Huge poll by More in Common finds the public support assisted dying by 5 to 1.

Massive week for Parliament as it grapples with what could be the biggest social change in a generation.

Ask your MP how they feel about assisted dying >> Ask your MP whether they would support a tightly-safeguarded assisted dying law.

I couldn’t last beyond episode 2. I normally like a bit of trash but it’s truly awful and I certainly wouldn’t want to get on that ship!
