I want to make it clear that UNISON is made of 1.4 million members, who have passed motions which directly oppose Phillipson's politics

The decision on who to support was made by the Labour link Exec - a very small group of people.

This does not represent the views of UNISON's members at large

I’m so honoured to have the backing of a fantastic breadth of members across the whole union, with 210 nominations.

You, ordinary members in our branches, are the lifeblood of UNISON.

Together, we really can change UNISON.

Labour Link members were not consulted when making this decision - a decision to endorse a transphobe, a zionist and someone who has overseen the erosion of our universties in the UK.

There is a reason why I'm supporting @andrea4gs.bsky.social in this unison election for general secretary.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine — an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.

We each need to bring 20 friends and colleagues with us next time, then we will easily out number the racists.

Let's organise to do it

I hope he sees all the anti Trump stuff during his UK visit.

His politics are awful, he's a racist and a rapist, but also he's just incredibly rude in his manner and we really don't like that in the UK.

What’s truly hilarious is the Brits actually think they can hide how much the people hate Trump—as if he won’t notice.

The size of the far-right demonstration organised by Tommy Robinson in London this weekend is a cause for alarm.

UNISON must oppose the far right in practice, but also lead a genuine fight to improve living standards.

This is how the UK prepared for the orange felon’s visit, with a humongous picture of him and his close personal friend pedophile rapist sex trafficker Epstein. That’s how you do it. 💙👊
