Proud of our migrant care worker members travelling from Wales to Birmingham to leaflet in Shabana Mahmood’s constituency over plans to make people wait longer to settle in the UK.

These workers keep care services going, support their campaign.✊🏾

This year marks 100 years since the 1926 General Strike, with the national event being held in Barnsley.

Striking workers from the National Coal Mining Museum and the Caring Voices Choir will be playing a part in the day! 🙌

Given some of these comments, and the parties lack of plans around childcare, it’s easy to see why proportionally fewer women are voting for a Reform than any other party.

During last night’s Channel 4 News debate, @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social quoted directly from UNISON Cymru’s report on Dan Thomas’ record in Barnet.

When privatisation and outsourcing are sold as practical solutions, workers and communities pay the price. 📉

putting my old bargaining hat on to say that if you're in a unionized newsroom, this absolutely does NOT fall under status quo and should be prone to bargaining.

if you're a freelance journalist, make sure your contract reserves the right to pull your byline. They'll fight, but you have the right.

Reform's Great Repeal Act proposes scrapping the Employment Rights Act and the Equality Act.

That means losing sick pay, fire-and-rehire protections, guaranteed hours, equal pay rules, pregnancy protections and bereavement leave.

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.

First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Democracy will not come
Today, this year
  Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.

I have as much right
As the other fellow has
 To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.

I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.

     Freedom
     Is a strong seed
     Planted
     In a great need.

     I live here, too.
     I want freedom
     Just as you.

Langston Hughes

When the Employment Rights Act came to a vote in Westminster, Reform MPs voted against it.

That's a vote against day-one sick pay, against guaranteed hours, against fire-and-rehire protections and against bereavement leave.

What happened in Barnet should be a warning for Wales. ⚠️

Our new report, Barnet’s outsourcing nightmare: Dan Thomas’ track record in local government, sets out the consequences of outsourcing on a huge scale: rising costs, weakened scrutiny and staff and residents paying the price.

At Westminster, Reform would repeal the Employment Rights Act and the Equality Act. In Wales, they back pay freezes and headcount cuts.

Every one of those policies makes life harder for workers and easier for bosses.

That is who Reform are. ✊🏽

New Welsh laws mean public spending should create local jobs, training and wider community benefit.

Reform says remove them.

Public money should serve the public, not leave communities as private profit. 🏘️

Reform wants academy and free school pilots in Wales, taking schools out of the control of local people and giving them to private companies.

In England, that model has meant less accountability, more fragmentation and weaker terms for staff.
