Southwark Solidarity 🍉

The Nakba never ended.

📢 @superdrug's bully boy tactics are a disgrace. These workers have dedicated years of service to the company. But instead of putting forward a fair offer, the company is trying to make them redundant on the cheap with threats & attempts at union busting. wakefieldexpress.co.uk/business/calls…

BREAKING: new DWP figures show PIP fraud is still virtually zero Liz Kendall thinks people are 'taking the mickey' out of the DWP - but once again, her own figures on PIP show this is a lie. @RachelCDailey has the story #WelfareNotWarfare👇 thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

We all set, yes! PECKHAM TAKEOVER

BREAKING 🚨| 25 unions, representing over 1 million workers, have written to @AngelaRayner and @CllrJohnCotton to stop cuts in #Birmingham. The movement is behind the #BirminghamBinStrikers Read the the letter in full: bit.ly/BrumBinStrikeL… #StrikeMap #BrumBinStrike

In the face of extermination, deportation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, Giorgia Meloni lacks the courage to denounce Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government. Before the Italian people—and under the gaze of the entire world—the Prime Minister stands in shame.

There were, indeed, rivers of blood after Enoch Powell made his speech. The blood of Gurdip Singh Chaggar. Altab Ali. Stephen Lawrence. Between 1976-1985, there were 35 racist murders in the UK. Racist violence doesn't occur in a vacuum; it is enabled by rhetoric from the top.

SHAPE spreading the word in the old fashioned way! POSTERS! These ones bunged up all round The Elephant! Public Meeting this Thursday Demo - Peckham Takeover Sat May 31st

🚨 Standing up to the far right means confronting racism - not pandering to it. Read our statement in response to Starmer’s speech and the white paper ⬇️ #StandUpToRacism

💥It's up to us to get the City we can live in without stress, mould, ants, low wages, high rents, sofa surfing, living at Mum's still, etc 💥We can make our lives easier but we have to get up and make it happen! 💥Join us all on May 31st for the PECKHAM TAKEOVER:

Thank you to the thousands of members who joined and made our voices heard in the corridors of power and across the airwaves. Power in the union. 👊#UCU and proud.

NHS doctors are at breaking point. Exhausted. Pushed out of the country by @UKLabour’s cuts to frontline care. Underpaid. These are fully qualified professionals saving lives for just £17/hr. They’re asking for £22/hr; a modest, fair wage for the work doctors do. But @wesstreeting is refusing to negotiate. Same old Tory tactics. No respect. No Government action. When there’s no doctor at your bedside, remember who drove them away.

I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension. If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.
