Thanks to @filiacharity.bsky.social for hosting - and posting - the speech I made to the @mstaronline.bsky.social conference last Saturday.

Too often women's liberation is something the labour movement pretends to care about while doing the minimum to achieve it. #UnionsForWomen

The left without class has failed – what comes next? “THE cause of labour is the hope of the world.” Walter Crane’s May Day masterpiece summarises the understanding that has united most socialists for a century and a half: that the organised working cla...

Minimum wage rises to £12.71 an hour as firms warn of impact Many businesses have said they will have to pass higher wage costs onto customers.

This is good news for low-paid workers - particularly women, who are twice as likely as men to be in low-paid work. But while this should be an important boost at a time when every pound counts, the reality is that for too many women, any relief is likely to be short-lived.

Delegates have debated and passed a motion to defend the right to protest.

Conference believes the freedom of assembly and the right to protest are fundamental to a democratic society and they must be defended. It opposes any attempts by the government to intensify this. #NEU2026

Great to be on the @togetheralliance.bsky.social demo today - the range of groups was huge and diverse. Some political differences for sure but we stood together today in huge numbers against the Far-Right. #NoPasaran #Together

Nice tribute to Ann Henderson, who is a labour movement hero - including of our fight inside @labouruk.bsky.social & trade unions for women's sex-based rights.

Ann's wisdom & selfless advocacy for women have been a guiding force for so many♀️

There is far too much of this appalling conduct throughout the labour movement - and a persistent failure to put a stop to it. The union movement must do better. /2 #IWD2026 #IWD #EndNotDefend

It's time to act Ask your MP to help change the law today.

Members of the House of Lords will soon be voting on legislation which would end the criminalisation of women and girls accused of ending their own pregnancies. Take 1 minute to tell Peers to back this vital reform: bpas-campaigns.org/time-to-act/
