Did Labour pick the wrong Miliband? In this week's 'Since Attlee & Churchill' podcast, @LeeDavidEvansUK and I relitigate the 2010 Labour leadership election. [Spoiler alert: I voted for Diane Abbott]

Joe Fortune has been appointed as Labour’s next general secretary by a unanimous vote of the NEC (from a shortlist of one) A source close to Fortune said: "Joe has a proven record leading and running a political party and is respected across the labour movement for his near two decades of service. "He will be an fantastic asset to the Labour Party at this crucial moment."

It's true! I'm gutted to have left the brilliant team at @labourunionsuk and I have huge shoes to fill at ASLEF, but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this role and working hard to get the very best for our train drivers and our railway 🚄✊🌹

Particularly like the use of the word “candidature”, the red squirrel to candidacy’s grey.

This disgraceful act took place just days after the murder of a senior politician, the third of my colleagues in a decade. It is a shared responsibility of all of us in our democracy to call out and condemn violence and threats against politicians. I hope the Green Party leadership takes appropriate action this time. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Today's Royal Assent for the steel nationalisation bill is huge. Ministers have saved the UK steel industry. Now we need commitments to buy British for public infrastructure. And we need a worker voice on the board of the new nationalised company - to keep British steel alive.

The Govt's Health Bill gives Ministers greater general control over commissioning and ICB functions. That should come with clearer national accountability: a palliative care strategy, regular reporting on access and inequalities, and proper workforce planning.

The legislative opportunities are right in front of us. The Govt’s direction on health policy is positive: more democratic accountability. Please don’t oppose assisted dying because of palliative care, then do nothing about the structural issues holding provision back.

The arrogance of this unelected legislator lecturing a trade unionist, dripping with condescension - “the rights you imagine (or, more likely, have been briefed about)”. The assumption is clear: working people only disagree with her because they’re too thick to understand. – at City of London, London

If you’re a trade unionist and being told that major societal issues are “not the concern” of trade unions doesn’t make you bristle, I honestly don’t know what to say to you.
Dom Trendall@Dom_TrendallMay 29
Unions are entitled to concern themselves with whatever their members decide. They are accountable to those members through democratic structures, not KCs on X. There is a protected right to association and a proud history of unions fighting for justice beyond the workplace.

If you click UNISON's link, it says: "Whilst the government has said this guidance is not intended for workplaces, we anticipate many employers will look to this guidance as the standard to apply in many workplaces." UNISON are obviously right.
EHRC
@EHRCJun 2
Our draft Code of Practice helps providers of services, public functions and associations apply the Equality Act 2010. It doesn't apply to workplaces; employers should consult the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regs 1992, the Equality Act, and seek independent legal advice.
