PERSONAL STATEMENT: 6 years ago my partner of 40 years was diagnosed with early onset dementia. She had to give up work, although she was able to maintain a level of independence for a time. This left me able to lead PSC in its response to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. However her condition has deteriorated and I am no longer able to give the full time I need to the role of PSC Director. That job is too important to be done by someone who cannot devote the time required to fulfil its responsibilities in full. With sadness I have made the decision to resign. As many of you know, I am appealing against the outrageous conviction I received alongside Chris Nineham of Stop the War Coalition for leading the peaceful protest on January 18th 2024. The date for our appeal was confirmed yesterday as being December 14th. I will ensure that I am able to devote the time required to enable a successful appeal, and PSC will continue to fully support that process. I'm proud of the work that PSC - through its outstanding staff team and network of now over 100 branches - has done to build the campaign for Palestinian rights in the UK, in the past 10 years, becoming Europe's largest Palestine solidarity organisation. The movement for Palestinian liberation has been and will remain the cause of my life, and I hope and intend to be able to continue to remain active in support of it. However right now, my priority has to be my family alongside my court appeal.

If you’re a Public Library Worker in a Reform council then join a union now and be prepared to oppose book bans etc. it’s going to be a very bumpy ride 😬

Two @UKlabour councils collaborating to break the #BrumBinStrike Labour-run @BhamCityCouncil is hiring strike-breaking bin workers from @TomWhiteWaste - a company owned by Labour-run @coventrycc #Birmingham council could end the strike in days through negotiations. Instead they've chosen to give £ millions of #Brum taxpayers money to another council to prolong the strike by months. Dean and other #BrumBinStrike workers visited #Coventry yesterday to demand an end to this.

UNISON GS @AndreaEganGS joins school support staff on the picket lines as strike action began at 22 schools in East Midlands. Andrea heard first-hand about the impact of planned pay cuts and job losses and took a message of solidarity from our members - we stand with you! ✊💜

Reports today that Downing Street may be watering down proposed punitive reforms to the immigration system won’t be good enough, says UNISON general secretary @AndreaEganGS, adding the proposals should be scrapped altogether.

Nearly one year on in the Birmingham bin strike, and the Council still refuses to come to the table with a fair deal. We’re showing up at Atlas Depot this week to make our demands clear: Brum City Councillors must take action to negotiate a settlement with bin workers. Join us in solidarity at 7:30 AM on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. If you can’t make it in person, you can show your support online: actionnetwork.org/campaigns/birm…

📚️Libraries and local services matter. This week, library and council workers met MPs and councillors in Westminster to discuss cuts many communities have experienced since 2010 and to share why investment in these services would help strengthen local areas. #SaveOurServices

Reform plan to destroy local government pensions, denying millions of workers a secure retirement income. This would be historic theft of workers’ deferred wages — hundreds of billions of pounds. UNISON members won’t hesitate to defend what’s ours. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

London CIV, which manages councils' pension funds, is launching a new responsible investment system. But its proposals fall short. In London? Ask your councillors to call on London CIV to allow divestment from all companies enabling Israel’s crimes: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/londondivestme… 🧵
