Police staff deserve the same location allowance as our officer colleagues, as we face the same cost of living crisis. #pcsonstrike #MetonStrike
Your Met Police GEC has voted to call an all out strike on 5th November in response to the Commissioner only giving the extra cost of living payment if £1,250 to officers and not staff. All out November 5th. #rememberremember5thnovember
I reported my offensive colleague to the Met - why did he get his job back? bbc.com/news/articles/c14ke4…

Headed to the picket line for day 3 of our strike against unnecessary, regressive and wasteful plans to force a return to the office for thousands of staff who kept the Met going during the pandemic and who save the taxpayer millions by reducing needed office capacity. #PCS ,

"Let's be clear, the only purpose of outsourcing is to create big profits for companies like G4S and to drive down pay and terms & conditions of workers" - @RichardBurgon MP on the Cabinet Office picket line supporting our striking G4S members.

Society has been mislead about UC claimants via the press who demonise those with disabilities
The press punch down, plenty of evidence & statistics to back what we are saying
Disability can happen to anyone at any time during your life
Stop, take a moment & think about it
👇
There is a pervasive framework & rhetoric that devalues disabled people & undermines their human dignity.
The United nations have also condemned the UK for the demonisation of welfare claimants

To those saying comments like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check ur facts!
40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, have disabilities or illness, & some who don't have work, want it. A little more compassion & less judgement wouldn't hurt.
Just spotted.... this is a good change for benefits recipients, deductions can be soul-destroying. #budget
"Caps deductions made through Universal Credit at 15% of the standard allowance. Before this Budget, it was 25%... approximately 1.2 million households will keep more of their Universal Credit payment each month, with households expected to be better off by an average of over £420 a year"
