Last month, I was offered an MBE🎖️ I made the decision to decline. Here’s why:

‘’It’s disgraceful that 1500 people are being laid off at Alstom in Derby, the heart of British rail industry Where are the ministers? Where was Ben Bradley?’’ They’ve let our region down. Vote for a mayor who will stand up for our region on 2nd May. Vote Claire Ward

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will create Great British Railways. Under Labour our railways will be: ✅Publicly owned ✅Passenger focused ✅Fit for the future Only Labour has a plan to get our trains back on track: labour.org.uk/get-britain-mo…

PCS General Secretary Fran Heathcote joined our Border Force strikers on the picket line at Heathrow this morning taking action over roster changes which mean they work longer hours and have less flexibility over their shifts. The 4-day strike ends at 7am on Friday #PCSonStrike

A fantastic result for Claire Ward, East Midlands Labour & our region. The East Midland’s new mayoral powers are in the safe hands of someone who will deliver on homes, jobs, skills, transport & the environment. Proud to have been part of the team who backed her from the start🌹

Members at the RSA have accepted an improved offer and this dispute has come to an end. This was the first major dispute in IWGB Charity Workers Branch, which was formed just four years ago and has inspired many other workers to start getting organised. See the terms of the resolution below:

It’s been the honour of my life to represent Nottingham East since 2019. I’m standing for re-election as your Labour candidate. Let’s fight together for: 🏥 Better public services 👷🏼‍♀️ Decent pay and workers’ rights 🌎 A Green New Deal 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Equality and unity, not division

In Kettering, East Midlands Young Labour were out campaigning for Rosie Wrighting

Already, Nottinghamshire Young Labour has hit the ground running in this GE24 campaign! Members have been out with Rosie Wrighting in Kettering & @LeeBarronLabour in Corby. If you're a NYL member and have been out campaigning, send us the pictures! 📸

Today at #RCN24, Linda Silas told members why safety-critical nurse-to-patient ratios are vital for patient safety. And she reminded everyone of the power of the nursing voice to create change. Read our demands for nursing this General Election: bit.ly/3VoV0bb

A great life of public service, congratulations Paddy Tipping 👏🏻 nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

Wonderful turnout for National Education Union members protesting against the banning of Pride in schools by the Catholic Bishop of #Nottingham. We will support #LGBTQ+ staff and pupils!!! NEU LGBT+ Educators

Out in South #Mansfield all day listening to the views of residents with lots of lifetime Conservative voters switching to The Labour Party for the first time in their lives 🌹

Private contract NHS Workers who carried us through the pandemic at King’s Mill are demanding equal pay and terms from Medirest and it was helpful today to hear from GMB Midlands about the issues directly. As Mansfield's MP, I’ll always stand up for working people.

I’ve met young people who’ve been prescribed puberty blockers. Some told me they’d helped lift them from depression & probably saved their life. A blanket ban is wrong & not what Cass recommended. Careful, clinical provision is the way forward, not this politicisation.

Trans people need to be able to exist safely as themselves with respect & dignity, and with equal access to adequately funded healthcare. I support & stand in solidarity with the trans community —including young trans people — for whom puberty blockers are a life-saving measure.

The ASCL, NAHT, National Education Union and NASUWT unions have urged Bridget Phillipson to 'encourage' United Learning to ditch plans to offer an alternative pension scheme next year, warning this could destabilise the teachers' pension scheme schoolsweek.co.uk/unions-demand-…

❤️ Thanks to some incredible people, we have started work on our new website today and purchased a domain name! But we still need help. Just £5 would help enormously.

A horrific decision by TGI Fridays to cut 1000 jobs with no notice given to their workers and many unsure if they’ll even be paid Unite Hospitality will be backing our members there - but it’s crucial hospitality workers join Unite so they can organise and get protection at work
