A lot of true colours being shown in Parliament today.
🟦 REFORM's Danny Kruger "of course we would repeal the job-destroying Employment Rights Act 2025"
🌳 TORY Peter Bedford "We would repeal Labour’s Employment Rights Act"
🔶 LIB DEM Daisy Cooper "the Employment Rights Act 2025, which got the balance wrong between protections for workers and the burden on business"
Unions fought for these new rights for workers, Labour delivered them.
Decent pay, secure contracts, safe workplaces and a stronger voice at work - the basics of a fair economy. Whose side are they on? 🔵🌳🔶

As Labour Coalfields MPs we are seeking to expedite the transfer of the £1.2 Billion remaining in the MPS Reserve Fund to retired miners, however we note with contempt Reform UK’s attempt to hijack this issue for the sake of political point-scoring. 🙄

While the top brass inevitably end up with big pay outs and cosy new jobs it will be the workers at Royal Mail left picking up the pieces when things go wrong.

It's a really good day to organise.
From today, unions will have the right of access to workplaces to meet workers, grow unions and raise wages and improve conditions across the country.
More workers covered by collective bargaining is a key part of building an economy that delivers for workers.
This has come about thanks to the New Deal for Working People - the Labour-union link in action.
Join a union. Organise. Win.

Medical samples that sit in sorting offices for days: a disgrace.
Having to wait for days by the letterbox for your cancer results: a disgrace.
Holidays delayed because you’re waiting too long for your passport: a disgrace.
We need a postal service that is fit for purpose. Spot on @IanLaverymp

I’ve written to @premierleague Chief Executive Richard Masters demanding action on poverty chanting following Everton’s game against Chelsea.
Everton & Liverpool supporters have endured this class prejudice for years. Mocking families who cannot afford to put food on the table is shameful.
Through Fans Supporting Foodbanks, supporters stand together to feed our communities. The Premier League must show the same solidarity & leadership.
Hunger doesn’t wear colours. It’s time our game acted like it.

A fantastic launch of the #RightToFoodCommission in Parliament, bringing together commissioners, parliamentarians, trade unions, campaigners and the communities at the heart of this fight.
It has been one of the honours of my life to listen to communities across the country and work alongside people determined to end the scourge of hunger.
In one of the richest countries in the world, nobody should be worried about where their next meal is coming from.
Now we need Government action.
A Right to Food enshrined in law, ensuring everyone can access affordable, nutritious food with dignity.
Our communities cannot carry on paying the price for political decisions that drive poverty and food insecurity.
Hunger is a political choice. Together, we must demand a different future.

There's been a boom in deaths linked to dust from cutting kitchen counters, known as Quartz.
Labour MP @IanLaveryMP tells @skysarahjane "we've got to approach it without any further delay, if we don't it's the next national asbestos scandal."

This is a wonderful gesture from the club.
We’re pleased to announce that proceeds from the live stream of Sunday’s Legacy Game will be donated to the families of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough.
There has been an outpouring of community support for the families of the two police officers, whose lives were tragically lost in the line of duty in August.
MFC hope this contribution can offer some support to the two families in the wake of Sunday’s Legacy Game, which was staged as part of our 150th anniversary celebrations.
A full house were at the Riverside for the event, and several thousand more from around the world tuned in via our live streaming service, Boro LIVE.
