Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. A difficult time for many reasons, inc our continued anguish and worry about those suffering in Sudan, Congo, Palestine and more, living in fear, hunger and destitution. This year my zakat - charity goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Give what you can. 🙏❤️

Struggle, solidarity, determination, and progressive politics. A socialist with his heart in the movement, with a clear vision to make Wales a Fair Work nation. A nation of sanctuary. We will miss you. Mark Drakeford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Our General Secretary Shavanah Taj addresses the Cardiff Stand Up to Racism rally.

'Wales must always be a Nation of Sanctuary that offers a welcome and hope to those who need it.

Vaughan will be the first Black leader of any European nation. In a week where we’ve seen that racists are bankrolling the Conservative Party, we should be proud of this landmark.

It’s time to come together across the labour movement to kick out the failing UK Government. (2/2)

Congratulations to Vaughan Gething on his election as the new leader of Welsh Labour.

Vaughan has strong roots in Wales’s trade union movement. His manifesto set out a clear pro-worker agenda and we’re looking forward to working alongside him to deliver it. (1/2)

Genuinely pleased to see Vaughan Gething elected as the new leader of Welsh Labour. Vaughan's strong roots in our union movement, first Black President of Wales TUC and now First Welsh FM is fantastic. We look forward to working alongside you to deliver your pro worker manifesto

Ministers must ensure civil servants aren’t conflicted between Civil Service Code obligations & ministerial instructions, yet this is where the Rwanda Bill puts civil servants.

Too many people to mention by name but great to be among likeminded female trade unionists who are doing so much within the movement and beyond.

Inspiring to hear the stories of so many who have overcome so much to champion fairness, equality and women’s rights ✊🏻

No it is not rudness. It is deep-seated RACISM the fact that you want to hate ALL Black women is the very definition of prejudice and racism.

Calling for an MP to be shot and starved is sick, dangerous and shows a worrying level of violence.

Today, we remember all the amazing mothers, inc those who raised us like we were theirs. Those who couldn't continue to mother because of violence, war, aggression. Those who never got to hold & rock their babies. To my own dear Umi, almost 12 yrs gone, still feels like yday.❤️

It’s been legal gymnastics from Amazon in their attempt to smash drives for union recognition.

But after a year of industrial action, today GMB members at Amazon Coventry submitted their bid for union recognition.

There is no hierarchy in equality. We must be consistent in our principles and approach to fighting hatred and bigotry in all its forms.

Again. We need safe routes so that children don’t die. It is possible and has been done. We are letting children die needlessly.

Diolch WISERD for organising the Cardiff conference to mark the 40th anniversary of the miners strike. It was fantastic! Great to join a brilliant panel to discuss building strong and effective solidarity, then and now in the ever changing shape of our labour movement. ✊️
