Always good to have a Manchester theme at #LabourConference24, and here's Bev Craig to give the Local Government Report. There's so much good practice to share from our excellent councils and partnership with a Labour Government should allow us to transform everyone's lives.

How great at #LabourConference24 to hear a Secretary of Business and Trade laud the value of workers and their rights in building our economy. Barnstorming speech from Jonathan Reynolds.

Excellent speech at #LabourConference24 from Louise Haigh on sweeping away the remnants of Thatcherism in order to provide the public transport that the country wants and needs.

Final morning at #LabourConference24, final presentation of the CAC Report from Lynne. No questions this morning so we can charge ahead with business.

A busy day today chairing UNISON North West's Labour Link forum. Delighted to start with a discussion of the Employment Rights Bill with Michael Wheeler MP, such an important collection of changes that the Labour Movement has been demanding for years.

Really enjoyed my morning talking with UNISON - UK's largest union activists about The Labour Party's Employment Rights Bill. This is a crucial part of our Government delivering our promise to #makeworkpay and I'm proud of this work.

A lovely morning to be out speaking to residents, letting them know what Manchester Labour 🐝 is up to and picking up any issues for Levenshulme Councillors to support people around. We're the only party who are out year round (rain or shine!) to talk to the electorate.

Join a union. We're going to be very busy supporting members against this disregard for employment law. Incidentally, even in the US, The NY Times reckoned that DOGE may end up costing as much in redundancy as it saves. No services and no savings. Right wing grifting at its best!

UNISON member? You've still got time to vote! But time is running out and you need to get straight on it. I've voted for all of the excellent candidates that my branch has nominated, and all of the other Time For Real Change candidates that I could!

UNISON Manchester was proud to show solidarity with others throughout the country today for the Workplace Day of Action for Palestine. UNISON stands with Palestinian workers who have had their lives decimated since the attacks of October 7th 2023. #Workplaces4Palestine

Excellent to see #educatingyorkshire back, almost makes me wish I was back working in a Yorkshire school. Though I can't believe they missed that Riley's behaviour was better in the morning after he self-medicated with coffee 🤔
