Too true. @MayorJD has been on our picket lines time and time again (not just the high-profile country-wide strikes but cleaners and outsourced catering staff too) and stood strong with us to save ticket offices. There is no other choice for the North East!
‘Mick Lynch said “Nationally, we need to put a Labour government in to get the Tories out, but we also need a strong voice that will put the north-east first, whatever government is in power. That’s why the RMT and our north-east region is completely behind Jamie’s campaign.”’

There are so many subtle changes being put in place around elections this year that add up to voter suppression, essentially
The way we vote on 2 May for the Mayor of London election has changed – you can now only vote for one candidate. Don't spoil your ballot - you can no longer choose a first and second preference. For more info, check https://t.co/KBUSVlqIpE

Your climate campaign probably isn't that effective if the world's largest fossil fuel producer supports it, @WWF.

We're facing an existential threat and a few leaders are using the crisis to make a buck. Impressive (albeit depressing) investigation by @LawrenceCarter1
🚨 We've just released a major investigation with the BBC which shows how COP28 president and UAE national oil company CEO, Sultan Al Jaber, sought to lobby on fossil fuel deals during meetings with foreign governments about the UN climate summit.

For every £1 BP spent on low carbon investments, they invested £11 in fossil fuels and gave £9 to shareholders. Why are ordinary people paying for the cost of living crisis whilst oil giants continue to get rich quick? We need public ownership and a just transition.

Bullied!! The prime minister is being bullied by transsexuals my god
'We shouldn't be bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be, they can't. A man is a man and a woman is a woman', says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. https://t.co/xItZsH7tea 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

We're outside of the office of every shadow cabinet member calling on them to commit to revoking Rosebank and to back a GND. It's unconscionable for @UKLabour to accept 'the baseline' it inherits from a destructive and callous Conservative government. https://t.co/1z80olwbj0
