3.6% is not inflation busting, it is is exactly the inflation rate for the reference month for the annual pay negotiations. What is inflation busting is the 5% increase that MP’s received for 2026. This stinks of do as I say, not as I do.
🚨 ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE UNIONS 🚨 Even The Guardian says Burnham’s first rail pay deal as PM “will be seen as a victory for the union”. ASLEF threatened strike action. Burnham handed drivers an above-inflation pay rise, 50% pay rise for Sundays and pay up 20% to £720 for working a fifth day. Every union boss in Britain will have got the message: threaten Burnham and he folds. Via @raphael_boyd in @guardian >>> theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

This is the greatest and bravest woman you will ever see in your life Dr. Amira from Gaza. Under the siege of the hospital, in front of the snipers’ bullets, she ran forward without hesitation, pulled out the stranded patient, and saved his life. This video will be remembered by generations to come…forever.

And this my friends is precisely why the Government wants to end jury trials. Please read the full summing up delivered by Tony.

Andy Burnham says he wants to release low-risk female prisoners early. I suggest he starts with these three women from Palestine Action who were jailed as “terrorists” for trying to stop the mass murder of children in Gaza.

Hi @andyburnham the daughter of a Holocaust survivor has been arrested because of a policy Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper rolled out, which Labour Baron Hain said in the House of Lords, was shameful, and the UK's High Court initially said was 'unlawful' She says, "Free Palestine, end the genocide" "It's not what my parents died for" "I'm a Holocaust survivor's child.. I'm glad my parents didn't live to see this" Will you be correcting this, or make it part of your legacy too?

#C4News Burnham could solve the lack of prison spaces by releasing all the protesters against Genocide that the Labour Govt have locked up on trumped up charges of “terrorism.” Free the political prisoners.

The path to justice begins with the truth. That is why we hosted The Gaza Tribunal: to expose Britain’s role in the greatest crime of our time. Now, we're publishing the findings in full, with an afterword from Sally Rooney. Pre-order your copy here: plutobooks.com/product/the-g…

How can wearing a badge stating you are pro Palestine offend anybody? Unless they are anti Palestine. In that case it is them with the problem. Being pro Palestine is not anti- Semitic. Standing against genocide in Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

An unelected Lord, appointed “antisemitism adviser”, now feels entitled or even qualified to explain antisemitism to a Jewish national party leader. To add to all this - he's not Jewish. Truly rabbit hole stuff.
Only the leader of a national party saying which Jews should and which Jews shouldn’t be allowed into schools.

Israel is run by evil demonic bastards, whose actions are supported by over 90% of Jewish Israelis. The fact that this Labour govt retains diplomatic relations and is still selling arms to this rogue entity is an outrage. So, when @AndyBurnhamGM replaces Sir @Keir_Starmer later this year, will he renounce his previous support for Israel? Will Andy end arms sales and sever diplomatic relations with Israel, or will he bow to pressure from the UK's genocidal Zionist lobby? This one issue will determine whether Andy is capable of being an international statesman or will he just be another puppet of Benjamin Netanyahu and his cronies. This is THE most important foreign policy issue this century. Will Andy behave as Thatcher did when she maintained diplomatic and trading ties with apartheid South Africa when people all over the world were demanding an end to that regime?
New report documents Israeli prisons as torture camps for Palestinians Starvation. Sexual assault. Sleep deprivation. Medical denial Ben Gvir brags about it on TV. The world calls it a democracy

Hughie Stirling, 68 was kidnapped last night by Israel in international waters and he is being illegally held hostage. The Media is barely reporting it, I hope you will get the message out, and get him home from these evil terrorists.

Every now and then, whilst watching the demise of this awful so called Labour government, I remember how they trashed the hope Corbyn gave to hundreds of thousands of people — just to deliver us this complete and utter shitshow.
