"Our campaign is bigger than the bill; it is about culture change, it is about ensuring that this government fulfils its promises, that outsourcing becomes a thing of the past, and that insourcing becomes a clear policy focus. We remain committed and united as a movement in the fight to return our Facility Management members to the public sector and ensure we have strong public services for all." - Lori Holmes, PCS, speaking at the Employments Rights Bill Rally in London today. #WorkersRights #EmploymentRightsBill #NewDeal #PCS

The only time in history we had decent living conditions for ordinary people was when we taxed the very rich. These two things are connected.

Less than a year ago

In a ballot that closed on Friday (28 February), PCS members working as security guards for G4S on the DWP contract have voted 97.2% in favour of taking more strike action in their dispute.

"Since 2019 £8m of public funding has been given to 13 arms companies who have supplied weapons and equipment to Israel during its illegal occupation and bombardment of Gaza and the West Bank. Not a single penny of public funding should go to any company profiting from the displacement and genocide of the Palestinian people." - Lynsey Morgan, SEC #ScottishECC25 #PCS @PCS_Scotland

"It's great to be in Glasgow at the first policy-making conference. Congratulations to all the hardworking Scottish members who made this historic day a reality. I look forward to working with the incoming SEC to deliver the policies carried today." - Martin Cavanagh, PCS National President #ScottishECC25 #PCS

40 #PCS members at the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman are taking targeted strike action this week and are on the picket line at Citygate in Manchester. Phil Whitehead said: "I'm upset to be here. I've never been on strike in my life. There's enough money to pay overtime but not a decent pay rise." pcs.org.uk/news-events/ne…

@sherbet_01 @RupertLowe10 Tell me you don’t know what a civil servant is without telling me you don’t know what a civil servant is. 🤡

@RupertLowe10 I agree. Can you also ask “how mich money did you spend last week on lunches and travel”. It seems civil servants are dining out on taxpayers money. This should be stopped.

Let's send an email to the entire British civil service with the question - what did you do last week? The answer for thousands? Sod all. Brutal cuts are required. Afuera!

Paid pensions. Issued passports and driving licenses. Collected taxes. Worked in prisons, museums and Royal households. Registered ownership of properties, served as ushers in our courts… Long and short of it is, Rupert, we keep this country going. What have you been up to?

@GenealogyJuden @wizard_waterloo @Crampsam @implausibleblog No, I wouldn’t, because the UK has signed up to the 1951 Refugee Convention that stipulates any person can apply for asylum in any country.

@PCSYMN @wizard_waterloo @Crampsam @implausibleblog if they neither speak english nor can point to any connections, would you support their being sent back? makes total sense why they'd do it, but it's our choice whether we allow it

Man with slick hair, "I find it quite disgusting how we're talking about human beings who are genuinely.. And it's not illegal to claim asylum in a foreign country" "Saying they're illegal immigrants.. They're asylum seekers and refugees" #BBCQT "Illegal immigrants tend to be people who come here legally and overstay a visa, or an application. That's the majority of illegal immigrants" "We know other countries take on a lot more refugees than we ever do" "Calling these people: the invaders" "Or dehumanising them so we can point a finger at them saying: you're the reason we have a housing shortage.. But we've only built 250,000 council houses since Thatcher came into power.. Before that we built 5 million" "Why do people claim that immigrants are the problem when it's recent governments that are the problem"

@xeode @wizard_waterloo @Crampsam @implausibleblog The choice isn’t, or should not be, “let people die/suffer persecution” or “build housing.” We can, and should, do both.

@PCSYMN @wizard_waterloo @Crampsam @implausibleblog they've built a similar (insufficient) amount for years despite periods of saying 'enough is enough' and a new scheme of sweeteners to build are lavished on developers that don't change a thing. we shouldn't blame the migrants for wanting to move here, just can't before housing
