With 695 nominations… Re-elect Sharon Graham as General Secretary of Unite the Union. For a fighting union! Take the fight to the bosses-whoever the employer is.

Until becoming PM Burnham supported rent control but now the govt. says it wont even look at rent control. Rent control as emergency measure and mass programme of council house building urgently needed.
New research shows that a third of renters cannot afford food. Socialists demand new controls that cap rents, with levels set by locally elected bodies involving tenants, housing workers, and trade union representatives. politicshome.com/news/articl…

This is spot on.
Blaming every complex problem on [_________ insert minority here] is a cynical tactic as old as the hills ... especially if you don't want voters focussing on the interests of your millionaire leaders and billionaire funders.
Actually having a workable plan to fix our broken system in the real world is another story.

It's wrong that workers at @LBIAirport are paid far less than those doing the same job at another nearby airport. These are essential workers who play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of the airport and the safety of passengers and deserve fair pay.

My TUC Congress 2026 report.
As a new TUC General Council member, I support Motion 34 and hope it’s implemented in full: a national demonstration against austerity, investment in public services, a united pay campaign and coordinated action if needed.

Emily will say it and say it and say it again.
But she wont do it.
Labour have been in govt for over 2 wasted years. They arent touching vacant properties and they aren't building council houses in significant numbers.
Just performative feelgood crap.
#UBL stands with #JLR workers and their unions – fight to save every job!
No more devastation of Britain’s manufacturing industry.
Nationalisation, investment and a plan for jobs – NOT redundancies!

The SNPs attitude towards local Govt has been a disaster. The problem is not too many councils, the problem is two decades of disproportionate cuts, the council tax freeze, failure to reform council funding, centralisation and a loathing of councils and councillors
EXC: Council mergers could be given green light under plans being considered by First Minister John Swinney.

Oppose War in Iran - It's already causing 1000s of deaths, injuries & displacement. It's escalating rapidly. The ripple effect will cause widespread economic hardship, with gas prices soaring by 93% already. As always, the working class will pay while the rich profit.
✊ Unite bus drivers in North London are showing what collective action can achieve.
From Stamford Hill to Tottenham and Enfield, drivers are fighting for safe conditions and decent welfare.
Spread the strikes. Build the fight. Win!

Nigel Farage is certainly no friend of the working class. A privately educated former banker who moved from trading in the City to trading in fear. The rise of Reform and Restore is down to the non-delivery of Labour. It is now time for Labour to deliver. This latest diversion must not distract from that. 2/2

"By the time of the next Executive Council meeting in October, the General Secretary elections will have concluded. Sharon Graham is standing for re-election on her strong industrial and political record, but Unite members cannot be complacent" socialistparty.org.uk/articl…
A pleasure and a privilege to stand with strikers on the GKN picket - the boss's bonus was a whopping £45m. The biggest of any CEO on the FTSE100. A disgrace that the company is quibbling over 5.5% for workers!
While its workers are struggling with the city’s sky-high living costs, Cambridge University sits on an ever-growing mountain of wealth worth billions of pounds that it refuses to share.
Oxford University already has a local pay supplement; now Cambridge University must do the same.
It was a privilege to be on the picket line last week. We will keep fighting until we have a fair deal for the university’s workers.

When I was elected, I promised to take our union #BackToTheWorkplace. To put money back in the pockets of Unite members.
