Wishing a very happy 90th birthday to my friend, comrade and hero of the labour movement Dennis Skinner. A brilliant socialist and campaigner for justice who gave me and many others an important education in community organising and solidarity throughout his incredible career.

Speaking in my capacity as Napo TU Rep - FAO all #Napo members vote Reject

Probation staff are working under “immense pressure” in a culture of “emotional strain and trauma.”That’s not our words. That’s the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee's. This crisis is real. It is dangerous. And it cannot be ignored. 👉 buff.ly/jHbvVZe

Privatised. Pulverised. Patronised. Politicians torched probation & now won’t fund its recovery. Ministers failed. Now MPs must step up. 📢 Ask yours why probation staff are threatening to walk out. #ProbationCrisis #NapoBallot #payprobation

Probation staff protects the community. From sex offenders. From violent people. From chaos. But staff doing that work are burnt out, underpaid & walking away. 📢 The public should be furious that government refuses to put things right #NapoBallot #PublicSafety #FundProbationNow

This is what happens when you cut pay, pile on the work, and ignore the warning signs. Probation staff end up paying with their health. This is why we are balloting! #Respectprobation #PayProbation

When probation breaks, people get hurt. Staff are walking. The system is cracking. Tell your MP: Fund probation. Protect the public. ⏳ Before it’s too late. 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/respec… #ProtectThePublic #ProbationBallot

Today's announcement on restriction zones will mean even more work for probation staff. With no formal pay offer from HMPPS we have no choice but to ballot members for strike action. Get your vote in the post today and make sure your voice is heard. #RespectProbationPayProbation

They supervise sex offenders and other high-risk individuals. Now they’re being pushed to the brink. Probation staff are balloting. 📣 You can help. Write to your MP and demand action before someone slips through the cracks. 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/respec…

Probation staff keep you safe. Ministers are underfunding them and now they’re balloting for action. This is how public safety falls apart. ⚠️ Write to your MP. Demand change. 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/respec… #RespectProbation #JusticeCrisis

The entire justice system needs to be properly resourced. It's not just about spending more money, its about how that money is spent. Mark rightly points out that more money is needed for mental health provisions, the probation service and the existing prison estate

The probation service affects everyone and if it isn't stable and functioning then public protection is put at risk. Probation staff deserve a pay rise #RespectProbationPayProbation

Probation Union to ballot members for industrial action | Napo napo.org.uk/news/probation…

They don’t wear uniforms. But they keep your community safe every single day. Probation staff are burned out, underpaid, and walking away. They are now being balloted on what the next move should be. 👉 Read why this crisis should matter to everyone napomagazine.org.uk/they-dont-wear…

Napo members are not asking for much. Just enough money to care for themselves and their families. A salary attractive enough to keep experienced practitioners in the service. And for this to be done before the service collapses and the public is put at risk

🚨 Probation staff have lost 60% of their pay in real terms since 2010. They supervise terrorists, domestic abusers & violent offenders. Would you take that risk for peanuts for wages? #RespectProbation #PayProbation #PublicSafetyCrisis

What happens when the people who manage dangerous offenders can't afford to do the job anymore? 1 in 5 are using food banks. Over 103,000 days lost to stress. Staff are walking away. The government is gambling with your safety and hoping you never finding out!! #Payprobation

Prison staff: 16.8% rise Police: 20% Probation? Just 9.9%. But it’s probation picking up the pieces when prisons are full and police are overstretched. Ask your MPs why they have allowed this to happen and how they plan to keep you safe when probation buckles under the pressure
