Social worker - Straight-talking working class trade unionist. Campaigning to be the next General Secretary of UNISON.
Bolton, England
Joined October 2012
Nearly 60 Labour MPs backed by UNISON voted for the government’s recent welfare cuts. If elected as General Secretary, I will oppose blank cheques to the Labour Party. It’s time to end our union’s subservience to Labour.

Please !!! My in laws were migrants - they were grafters with my mother in law holding down 3 jobs they had 5 children - the extra money for child benefit came in useful but it didn’t make them well off !

It was a real honour to hold a rally for delegates at LGBT+ conference. I hope my LGBT+ friends had a wonderful conference! As the General Secretary election comes to a close, I want to thank everyone that’s attended any of my rally’s across the campaign. It’s time to win.

I was moved to tears with some of the powerful speeches and it serves as a reminder of how much space we have lost, and that must be placed at the foot of those in leadership that have failed our trans community. 2/3 🧵

Staffing levels are unsafe, and hard-working NHS workers like you regularly face aggression in the workplace. That's not right. If you want change, sign up to my campaign to be UNISON's General Secretary.

UNISON is the biggest union in the NHS, but recently it hasn't felt like it.
