Too true. @MayorJD has been on our picket lines time and time again (not just the high-profile country-wide strikes but cleaners and outsourced catering staff too) and stood strong with us to save ticket offices. There is no other choice for the North East!
‘Mick Lynch said “Nationally, we need to put a Labour government in to get the Tories out, but we also need a strong voice that will put the north-east first, whatever government is in power. That’s why the RMT and our north-east region is completely behind Jamie’s campaign.”’
It’s a big deal to have the backing of this union. Thanks to Mick and the @RMTunion for their continued support.
My politics are simple. I believe Britain should be run in the interests of the people who do the work.

There are so many subtle changes being put in place around elections this year that add up to voter suppression, essentially
The way we vote on 2 May for the Mayor of London election has changed – you can now only vote for one candidate.
Don't spoil your ballot - you can no longer choose a first and second preference.

ALT Three images left to right. A purple ballot box with the text “in person”. An open blue envelope with white paper and the text “By post”. Two purple speech bubbles with the text “By proxy”. The bottom of the image has the Electoral Commission logo and text “Your vote matters, don’t lose it”.

Your climate campaign probably isn't that effective if the world's largest fossil fuel producer supports it, @WWF.
A small act makes a great impact🌎

If a tax cut saves you £20 a month but:
- You can’t get the healthcare you need unless you go private
- Your rent was hiked by 20% because there’s not enough housing being built
- A short train journey costs more than an international flight
Are you really saving? #Budget2024

This year, Green New Deal Rising volunteers have knocked on thousands of doors, organised hundreds of protests, and grabbed headlines across the country.
We are building a movement for change.

We're facing an existential threat and a few leaders are using the crisis to make a buck.

For every £1 BP spent on low carbon investments, they invested £11 in fossil fuels and gave £9 to shareholders.
Why are ordinary people paying for the cost of living crisis whilst oil giants continue to get rich quick?
We need public ownership and a just transition.

This week we’re at SNP Conference in Aberdeen pushing the SNP to commit to a Green New Deal! 🚀
Our generation need the SNP to commit to no new oil and gas, a green jobs guarantee and to deliver on their climate commitments! #SNP23

Bullied!! The prime minister is being bullied by transsexuals my god
'We shouldn't be bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be, they can't. A man is a man and a woman is a woman', says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

If you get something out of our content and you don’t support us already, please chip in as little as £1 a month. Thank you! 🙏

We're outside of the office of every shadow cabinet member calling on them to commit to revoking Rosebank and to back a GND.
It's unconscionable for @UKLabour to accept 'the baseline' it inherits from a destructive and callous Conservative government.

Today we’ve sent @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy an open letter signed by a global coalition of over 95 climate activists, experts and campaigners.
We’re calling for Labour to step up & seize the opportunity to make the UK a true global climate leader.
