Raymond and other @GMB_union @BrightonMuseums workers began strike action today.
They're fighting an employer that wants to destroy their contract & conditions.
Don't visit the Royal Pavilion & other museums on strike days. Join the next strike day on 15 April.

Thanks to @zarahsultana for reading my story from today’s Guardian as part of her powerful Commons speech.
Hearing the names of those who have died over the last decade brings home how long we have been fighting this system and the suffering that’s already been caused.
.@zarahsultana: "Errol Graham.. Jodey Whiting.. Stephen Smith.. these aren't just names, they are the human cost of decisions made in this place, that.. contributed to over 1m premature deaths.. driven by poverty & austerity, & today the govt presses ahead with more of the same"

It is significant that Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday.

The “welfare reform bill” is out and let’s be clear: this is not reform - it is devastating cuts. Disabled people will be made poorer, sicker, and more isolated as a result. That it is a Labour government causing this misery will be a mark of shame on the party for years to come.

Fantastic day at #GMB25 Congress today, with the union coming together to do a massive shout at @BrightonHoveCC to value their women workers and settle the equal pay dispute❗️
@GMB_union members will not sit down & shut up when injustice is happening🔥

50 years on from the Equal Pay Act, we still find that women are being undervalued by their employers. Today @GMB_union / @GMB_Equality took a stand against BHCC to demand Equal Pay for their members. Solidarity to all impacted by unequal pay. @GMBSouthern #GMB25

A historic milestone for women, with all signs pointing towards more than 40% women MPs - that’s 260 (the most ever) women in parliament! [1/3]
