We fully support Urban Transport Group's demands to the Prime Minister on bus legislation:

▪️ Give ALL local authorities the automatic right to bring buses into public control
▪️ Repeal the ban on municipally owned bus companies
▪️ Long-term, devolved funding settlement for buses

And the govt is set to criminalize rough sleeping.

What has the country become?

A mayor you can trust.

On International Workers' Memorial Day, we mourn for the dead and fight for the living.

Mortality rates for cancer are much higher in firefighters:
Prostate – 3.8 times higher
Leukaemia – 3.17 times higher
Oesophageal – 2.42 times higher

It doesn't have to be this way.

On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember every life lost to unsafe work and commit to fighting for the health and safety of every worker.

Have to say Private Eye Magazine is absolutely on fire this week. 👏👏👏

It’s time to bust the myth that you can’t have flexibility without insecurity, time for the New Deal for Working People

Honoured to attend the Workers’ Memorial Service 2024 organised by HartlepoolTradesCouncil & lay a wreath on

A workplace should be a place of safety not a place where life & limb are at risk.

Remember the Dead & Fight for the Living

In their memory we commit to fighting for safer working conditions for all.

This is my disabled nephew that couldn’t have a day out on a train today because Northern 🚆 wouldn’t let his larger buggy on due to volume of traffic. Disability discrimination at its finest. Hope you’re very proud of yourself!! Grahame Morris I hope you’re taking notes!

Okay I admit it….. I am virtual a welder👨‍🏭🤷‍♂️ 🙌
