If billionaires can afford fleets of private yachts. And day trips into space. And weddings that shut down Venice. They can pay a bit more tax.

The ECHR isn’t a wish washy nice lefty liberal thing to have. It’s a backstop for fundamental rights, including the right to strike.

An important and welcome commitment from @DavidLammy. ET fees would price out workers seeking justice and do nothing to fix the broken Tribunal system the Tories left behind.

The self proclaimed party of ‘law and order’ reduced to peddling innuendoes and conspiracy theories about a ‘hidden network’ of judges. Threatening the judiciary is straight out of the playbook used by Trump and wannabe despots everywhere.

Pulling out of ECHR is a dangerous, xenophobia-fuelled gimmick. It will rip up rights we all rely on like fair trials, free assembly & workers’ protections – and risk undermining the Good Friday Agreement. The so-called party of law & order taking the low road to ape Reform.

Huge congratulations to Sarah Mullally on becoming the first woman to become the Archbishop of Canterbury - a truly historic moment. It's great to see a progressive voice leading the Church. As Bishop of London Sarah worked closely with @TUC_LESE At a time of rising division
Hello, my name is Bishop Sarah Mullally. I'm deeply honoured to have been called to serve as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. https://t.co/2FIJRUADZk

A watered down, Diet Coke, version of the Employment Rights bill won’t cut it. Delivering it in full will benefit millions of workers, and demonstrate the government is on the side of working people. Enjoyed this conversation with @politico & @RainNewtonSmith

Appalling news from Manchester. Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and all those affected. The TUC stands in solidarity with Britain’s Jewish community in the face of this senseless attack. Violence, hatred and anti-semitism have no place in our society.

I’ve been shocked at the state of Britain’s accessible toilets. In some places they’re great but in too many venues across the country they are disgusting. Nowhere is it worse than on our rail network, where you are captive as a passenger. The last four times I’ve used the

MiIei has driven 🇦🇷 into the ground & a $20bn IMF bail-out But he has his fans… Nigel Farage: ‘Amazing..cutting & slashing…that’s leadership.’ Elon Musk: ‘I love Javier Milei.’ Kemi Badenoch: ‘Milei is the template.’ Trump: ‘My favourite president.’

‘VIP’s’ with government connections prioritised over bona fide suppliers. Political rewards for Tory donors who put a quick buck before public safety. Lady Mone & Doug Barrowman are reprehensible, but they were aided & abetted by a Tory government that was rotten to the core

ET fees are a kite that should never, will never, fly. ➡️ Overturned by courts under last government. ➡️ Priced low paid workers out of justice. ➡️ Cost more to set up than they generated. A gimmick that would do nothing to help employers or employees.

Great to be with @LiverpoolLabour, @GMB_union @apseevents and @nowak_paul hearing about work being done by Liverpool Council to bring 700 jobs in refuse collection and street cleansing back in house It’s clear it works for the council and workers and we need to see more of it
