David Etherington JOIN A TRADE UNION

Spin it however you want, you still can't bring yourselves to say this is a good deal because it isn't!

Informative and thought provoking @unitetheunion fringe on ‘Social Security is a Trade Union Issue’ delivered by our fantastic @unitesouthwest colleagues @sparksyred @BenClaimant #TUCDisabledWorkers

Fantastic fringe meeting with dreadful information about DWP UC conditionality.@BenClaimant #TUCDisabledWorkers

I'm going to the TUC disabled workers' conference this afternoon. I'm representing my trades council as an observer. I will also co-present a fringe event with @sparksyred. Quite nervous but looking forward to it too.

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

I am so sad to to find out about Martin. A good comrade at Middlesex Uni and made significant contributions to Industrial Relations and socialist politics.

Gingerbread welcomes today’s @CommonsWorkPen report into Children in Poverty and the #ChildMaintenanceService. A well enforced, effective CMS would lift 60% of children of single parents currently not benefiting from maintenance out of poverty.

No expense spared by the #Tories during the #MinersStrike determined to use everything at their disposal to try to destroy the #NUM #TradeUnions & organised labour

It’s a humanitarian crisis. Let’s call it out for what it is. People will starve and die without food aid.

Manchester United is not just a football club, it's a legacy built on passion and loyalty. The Glazers ownership has tarnished that legacy. A full sale and their departure is the only way forward to restore the pride and glory of this great football club. #GlazersOut #MUFC
