The 2025 UNISON General Secretary election has now begun. I am standing to be our union's first ever lay member General Secretary. If elected as General Secretary I will fight for higher pay for all of us and I will only take the wage of a social worker.

24 hours have passed since 4 Labour MPs, including one former UNISON Officer, were suspended by Starmer for opposing welfare cuts. Our General Secretary has said nothing. Is this what 'holding Labour's feet to the fire' looks like?.

Solidarity with the Labour MPs who have been suspended for standing up for disabled people against welfare cuts by a failing Labour government. UNISON must support them, particularly @NeilForPoole, a former UNISON officer, who represents the best of our union.

There is money in the NHS and it should be invested in paying workers a decent wage. This is your opportunity as workers to demand your worth.

We've already heard from thousands of you in our consultation on our response to the 3.6% pay award. But it's important that everyone has their say. Work directly for an NHS employer in England? Check your emails sent 23 and 30 June for your secure voting link.

100 days so far on strike, they say their resolve and determination grows as the days pass. They have my full solidarity - to victory! ✊ . 3/3

They started with just a small number of workers aggrieved that management on 6 figure salaries refused to do a regrading exercise to evaluate their pay, so they recruited the other workers and organised them to take on the bosses. 2/3

Today I visited the picket line of the Gloucestershire phlebotomists. This was their 100th day of strike action in pursuit of fair pay. It was a privilege to stand alongside these inspirational and determined women. 1/3

Only 3 MP's in receipt of UNISON funding voted against cuts to disability benefits last night. We need a General Secretary who defends the interests of our members, even against a Labour Government.

UNISON must urge the Home Secretary and Prime Minister to drop this heavy-handed move and to safeguard our democracy, not imperil it. 2/2.

I am deeply concerned by the UK government’s use of terrorism legislation to repress Palestine Action, a non-violent group not unlike those Keir Starmer once defended as a human rights lawyer. 1/2

It’s great to see so many MPs supporting an amendment that would prevent cuts to welfare, including 9 who received support from UNISON. However 53 UNISON-backed MPs have not. Our GS and Labour Link must be clear that they must support the amendment and vote against cuts.
