I studied from home for my undergrad & MA as a single mum with a baby ->toddler. It was hard going. But I made it so much harder with the unrealistic demands I placed on myself. So, any parents beginning #homeschooling this morning - go easy on yourself, you got this.

I wish the media cared as much about the 131k staff vacancies in social care as they do about the 0.3% of millionaires who left the UK. Imagine all those column inches dedicated to thinking about how we tackle chronic low pay & insecure work in the sector

Privilege to join @NUJofficial members for the first journalists’ strike at @guardian in over 50 years. Time for management to seriously listen and engage with their staff about the future of the @ObserverUK

“If we’re genuine about liberating our services, it’s about engaging with the voice of our workforce. “@Demos’ ask is an ask that we back - a workforce commission that designs for outcomes not outputs, and moves away from reliance on arbitrary targets.” 🗣️ @SianCElliott

Public services #1 issue for voters at this year's general election & they will be the defining test of Labour's first term in govt. Fixing them is crucial. To do that, you need to use the insight of the workforce. Looking forward to joining @Demos to represent that voice.

What I like my mornings to look like: The home of the union movement @The_TUC packed full of reps, coming together for learning, strategising and organising for workplaces across the country 💪 @TUC_Education #unionrepsconnect24

Today at PMQs I asked the Prime Minister if he would commit to #OliviasLaw. To honour Olivia Pratt Korbel. Her family has campaigned tirelessly for this law to be made reality. I will be by their side all the way. ⬇️

Vice President Harris: You may not be a union member, but you better thank a union member for the five-day work week. You better thank a union member for sick leave, paid family leave, and vacation time

"Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever

I spoke to the House of Lords on unions' crucial role in upskilling our workforce. The future of work is NOW. And it is time we elect a govt that will invest in skills to ensure EVERYONE thrives in the changing job market. #skills #workforce #futureofwork

Superb trolling during the announcement - things can only get better 🎶 🌹 #generalelection
