Solidarity!

We are writing to you in support of ASLEF members in relation to your vile victimisation of a trade union member who raised health and safety concerns with you. After 73 days of action, which have seen growing support for the unfairly victimised trade union member, we are urging you to reinstate the member affected and to end this dispute now. Trade union activity, including raising vital health and safety concerns, is fundamental to the role of effective trade unions in the workplace.The actions of Hull Trains management could damage safety culture across the rail industry. Today, on 29 August, we stand in solidarity and will be encouraging our members to join the solidarity rally. We will continue to use the full power and ‘weight’ of our movement to make sure Hull Trains is held to account for these actions. We urge you to reinstate the colleague affected and ensure an end to escalating levels of action and wider campaigning from our whole movement.

We look forward to you doing the right thing by your staff, commuters who use your trains, and the wider community. We stand in solidarity with all trade union members at Hull Trains. Yours Sincerely

BREAKING 🚨 | 30 trade unions have written to Hull Trains warning their actions could damage safety culture across the rail industry.

Our movement is united in rejecting attacks on union members.

We stand with all @aslefunion.bsky.social members.

Kick Big Oil Out of Plastics Talks Fossil fuel companies want to keep flooding our home with plastic for profit. They’re trying to block action to tackle plastic pollution - we must stop them.

If you’re concerned about plastic waste and want to create a safer, less polluted planet then there’s never been a more important time to make your voice heard.

TAKE ACTION!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: There is too much plastic in the water because we keep putting water in plastic.

Right now, we have a vital chance to cut plastic production - through a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty.

But plastic loving lobbyists are trying to sabotage the treaty. ⁠

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Reinstate the Four Suspended Labour MPs The decision to suspend the whip from four MPs for opposing cuts to welfare payments for disabled people is wrong. Sign the petition to demand their reinstatement and a better future for Labour:

The decision to suspend the whip from four MPs for opposing cuts to welfare payments for disabled people is wrong - and has to be reversed.

No Labour MP should be voting for the benefits bill Despite Starmer's U-turn on the terms, it is still the morally wrong choice

My new column for @theipaper.com on why Labour MPs should still oppose the cuts to disability benefits

"In what moral universe can it be wrong to take away that support from people in need today, but not for those in the same need tomorrow?"

Joint enterprise law ‘overused and misused’ against black men New research shared exclusively with Channel 4 News, shows the law is being used inappropriately, with a clear tendency to overcharge black men aged 25 and under.

Today, children are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity.

We ask how the world could have possibly let them happen.

Future history books will shame those who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but chose to enable atrocity after atrocity instead.

How exactly has Britain supported Israel’s military assault on Gaza? The public has a right to know | Jeremy Corbyn When I was Labour leader, the Chilcot report condemned the party for its disastrous war in Iraq. We need a similar inquiry now, says MP Jeremy Corbyn

We deserve to know the full scale of this government’s complicity in crimes against humanity.

My piece for @theguardian.com on why I’m tabling legislation tomorrow for a full, independent, public inquiry into the UK’s role in the Gaza genocide.

Well done @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social... the spontaneous applause you received at the end when handing the bill to the speaker, spoke volumes 👏
