LGBT+ people should be safe and supported at work. But instead, they’re experiencing shockingly high levels of bulling and harassment – including assault. Workplace culture clearly needs to change.

Happy birthday NHS! 🎉 Established 76 years ago under a Labour government, its founding principles remain as relevant today as they were in 1948. The NHS workforce is #OneTeam and integral to its success. We look forward to building together for the future of the NHS.

A Labour government can now press the reset button for public services, says UNISON Commenting on the results of the general election, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea @cmcanea “Goodbye and good riddance. The past 14 years of Conservative rule has been nothing short of a living nightmare. “After an endless merry-go-round of chaos, infighting, untruths and cronyism in government, public services are in a sorry state. Fixing them and rebuilding trust in politics will be no easy task and will take time. “Thankfully a Labour government can now press the reset button. That means investing in essential services to get communities back on their feet, ensure patients receive NHS treatment when they fall ill and the creation of a social care system that can support everyone needing help. “For Keir Starmer to win such a historic victory and completely turn around the party’s electoral fortunes is nothing short of remarkable. The idea of a Labour government was unthinkable just four years ago, so to win by a landslide is off the scale. “Rebuilding public services and reviving the UK must be at the heart of Labour’s mission. Now the hard work begins.”

It's General Election day in the UK 🌤️ Change only happens when working people vote ✊ #YourVoteCan make a difference. Polls are open 7am-10pm. Take a friend! 🤝 or a pet 🐶. Don't forget your ID 🪪
