The @FT is reporting that hapless, hopeless, incompetent Ofwat is about to let Thames Water off £123 million in fines. That Ofwat would be a very, very bad idea. You will want to think again.

We were out in Quinton today, canvassing residents and local businesses to raise awareness about the bin strike. It’s clear that residents are fired up, and that energy is only strengthening our movement. This strike won’t end until Birmingham City Council puts forward a fair deal for all bin workers. Demand they do so today: actionnetwork.org/campaigns/birm…

It has taken over 40 years but finally the inquiry into the 'Battle of Orgreave' is open. Striking miners were beaten and dragged through the legal system. Unite has proudly supported the incredible work of @orgreavejustice to make this inquiry happen. chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…



📊Today’s new energy price cap means bills will go down. Briefly. But the war in Iran means they will go back up in July and energy companies expect to put them up again in October. 💰Last year Unite published research showing energy companies made £30bn profits in 2024. That's around £500 per household, and a quarter of business energy bills! So never mind new CEOs at OFGEM or ever-changing price caps, Unite has a solution to rocketing energy prices: 📣 Nationalise the energy companies

Last year Britain lost a THIRD of its refineries. Why? A Carbon Tax on industry that Ed Miliband doubled. We won’t need any less petrol, diesel, jet fuel, ceramics or chemicals - we'll just rely more on foreign imports. We must axe the Carbon Tax and save British industry.
