An historic day. New rights for millions of workers, and testament to years of union campaigning. More to do working with the government to make sure the secondary legislation is watertight, and to deliver the rest of the Make Work Pay agenda but for now… 👏👏✊🏼✊🏼

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law. This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them. Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers: ➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours contracts ➡️ Sick pay for all from day one ➡️ Expanding paternity, parental and bereavement leave ➡️ Strengthening protections for pregnant women, whistle-blowers and victims of sexual harassment ➡️ Making flexible working the default ➡️ Repealing Tory anti-union laws Unions and workers have long campaigned for these vital rights. Finally, working people will enjoy more security, better pay and dignity at work thanks to this Bill.

BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. The new rights in this Bill will be transformational, putting power back into the hands of working people. This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement. Time to celebrate 🎉

Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history. Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%. I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.

ET fees are a kite that should never, will never, fly. ➡️ Overturned by courts under last government. ➡️ Priced low paid workers out of justice. ➡️ Cost more to set up than they generated. A gimmick that would do nothing to help employers or employees. theguardian.com/money/2025/oct…

Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day. We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe. We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻

The UK government must condemn Israel in the strongest possible terms for this egregious behaviour It should demand the release of the vessel and its crew and allow them safe passage to enable them to carry out their mission.

BREAKING 🇵🇸 Moments ago, the Global Sumud Flotilla (@gbsumudflotilla) was violently intercepted by Israeli Occupation Forces. Hundreds of participants — including @davidrkadler, Co-General Coordinator of the @ProgIntl — are being abducted.

DEMAND SAFE PASSAGE NOW. Governments failed—so ordinary people are risking their lives to deliver aid and open a lifeline to Gaza. After 17 years of siege and total collapse, the minimum governments can do is ensure safe passage for this legal, vital mission

This is incorrect. The ECHR is written into the Good Friday Agreement for good reason. It is the guarantor of anti-discrimination which is central to the GFA, and an international guarantor is needed because the GFA is a treaty between Britain and Ireland. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

🚨On both social and traditional media it’s easy to find commentary claiming that Nigel Farage’s extreme deportations policy and the recent series of anti-migrant protests represent the will of the British people. But they don’t.⬇️hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/29/nig…

Boris Johnson wins that competition hands down
Priti Patel MP@pritipatel

Spot on by @POTUS Sadiq Khan, Starmer’s friend has done a terrible job as Mayor of London. Every decision he’s made from crime & policing, his assault on business, his planning policies through to his war on motorists all hurts London. He is London’s worst ever Mayor.
