Let’s abolish the gig economy. Public control of Royal Mail. Bring Royal Mail and the Post Office together to build a service for the whole community. Make no mistake - if we don’t show real vision for our postal service, Royal Mail will be on the rocks.

BT wants to throw hundreds of Liverpool workers on the scrapheap. We won't let it happen quietly. Today we took our fight outside Labour party conference with a clear message: get around the table and reverse this decision.

The decision to close down the Union Learning Fund was a typically reckless act of the last Tory government, and the announcement of its reinstatement is a welcome step forward in this government's agenda to encourage reskilling and levelling up. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdx…

A significant victory for CWU members who were unfairly sacked by Royal Mail. Compensation has now been secured for 130 members. We will continue to fight for justice and a better relationship between Royal Mail and its workforce. ✊📮

•⁠ ⁠We need to introduce sectoral collective bargaining across every sector in the UK. •⁠ ⁠We need to protect workers from AI instead of protecting the profits of big tech. •⁠ ⁠We need to unify the working class in the face of a growing threat from the far right. •⁠ ⁠And we need to reform the TUC, so it can better serve working class people and bring about real change. This was my message to this year’s TUC.

Lou Haigh’s excellent speech at #TUC26 couldn’t be clearer: Burnham’s Labour sides with working class people, and alongside our movement, will rebalance power, spread wealth and end the poisonous divisions across this country. This agenda cannot afford to fail.

Andy Burnham's government is our last chance to tip the balance of power back towards working people. Me in @LeftFootFwd:

You can’t compare £72 million in bungs from champagne quaffing crypto crooks, with trade unions funding the Labour party.

"The new EHRC is discriminatory & excludes trans, non-binary & gender diverse people from swathes of public life, including their working lives. The law must be changed. The EHRC guidance is unworkable, is absurd & it is cruel" Maria from the @CWUnews at #TUC26

At #TUC26, the CWU will urge Westminster to create AI policy based on social responsibility and ethical regulation - as well as shaping a movement that can best oppose the nightmare of unregulated AI. Read @DaveWardGS: cwu.org/news/trades-union-co…

With a turnover of about £8 billion a year, I think Royal Mail can afford a 7p payrise for their cleaners.

The Prime Minister commented on BT’s plans to relocate more than 600 jobs away from Liverpool. Thanks to Kim Johnson MP for raising and for highlighting that BT’s management is letting down both its workforce and Liverpool city region.
