This Workers Memorial Day we gathered at GMB in Stoke to commemorate those workers who have lost their lives at work.
Simon Day, an Ambulance worker, tells us why the day - and union membership - is crucial in saving lives in the workplace.

Nigel Farage’s Reform are soft on Russia, voted against your rights at work, and want to sell off the NHS.
They’re no friend to working people.
When they bring division and hate, we must choose solidarity and hope.

Heading home after a lovely weekend in Derry with pals. Weather was glorious and the pubs had Tennent’s - so couldn’t have asked for more.
We inadvertently came on the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement which wasn’t lost on us. Definitely one of the best wee city’s going, well worth a visit.

Scotland’s pro-independence warriors are shifting on nuclear weapons … slowly
The SNP has long objected to Britain’s nuclear deterrent being based in Scotland. Geopolitics — and domestic politics — are changing the calculus.

I can remember a time when Make Work Pay was just one side of an A5 by-election leaflet.
Tonight, MPs voted for the Employment Rights Bill to start delivering the new deal for working people.
That’s the difference that a Labour Government working with trade unions can make.

For generations, North Sea oil and gas workers have powered our industries, warmed our homes and kept our country moving.
We will be dependent on gas for decades to come, and we can’t rely on imports to meet our needs.
These workers and their communities deserve a future.

Today in the House of Commons @kevinmckenna.co.uk talked about living with HIV.
“It's whittled down to one tablet a day.”
This is a significant act but delivered as Kevin would like it to be treated – as just another long term condition like many others.

Care workers do an incredible job, and they deserve to be paid properly and treated fairly.
That means being able to afford to take time off when sick - not spreading illness or falling into debt.
Great to join our members in HC One on their “Sick of SSP” campaign day. 🤒
