Tonight the UK will leave the EU. We will continue to walk hand in hand to build a new path together based on fairness, support and solidarity. As Jo Cox said, we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us’. Au revoir 🇪🇺🌹

#Labour was right to offer a fresh EU referendum in the 2019 election, but too cautious in selling it and explaining why #Brexit is so damaging to working people (via @LabourList) labourlist.org/2020/01/why-l…

The day before the election in 2015 Jo, the kids and me were knocking on doors mobilising the vote. Jo met a Tory who was thinking about not voting. She urged them to vote because even though it made her election less likely, voting was more important. Please vote.

You can’t trust Boris Johnson and the Tories with our NHS. They’ve been in talks with the US about selling it off for over two years. And now their plan has been exposed. Vote Labour to protect our NHS from being sold off to Donald Trump. #NotForSale

"My worry is that this Tory government, with its intention to pull us out of the EU with a deeply damaging Brexit deal or no deal at all, has every intention of reneging on its duty to implement new fire safety measures," writes @TheresaMEP: bit.ly/34zFdJX

All @LabMEPs are working with @The_TUC @labourunionsuk to achieve a ‘Just Transition’ to ensure we upskill & retrain workers for new emerging jobs now & invest in their communities @Jude_KD @a_jongerius – at Steenokkerzeel, België
Trades Union Congress@The_TUC21 Nov 2019
The move away from coal and heavy manufacturing was a disaster for working people. We lost a lot of good quality unionised jobs, leaving many on low pay and insecure work. We can’t make the same mistake again. We need a just transition to a green economy tuc.org.uk/blogs/trade-union…

Trade unions are rising to the challenge of tackling the climate emergency

Trade unionists are already on the frontline coping with the impact of climate change, but we must be involved at every step to bring about change on the scale needed to tackle this crisis.

American big pharma corporations can’t wait to get their greedy hands on our NHS - but it's not for sale. And we will defend our precious health service to the last breath. So Donald Trump: take your tiny hands off our NHS.

Donald Trump: hands off our NHS
