Trade Unionist. Lefter than most. Purveyor of and advocate for words against hate.
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

This didn't change overnight, nor will it ever. It has always been so, it is so right now and will always be so.

Solidarity to the marginalised, defending attacks on human rights. That's the work of the TU movement; always was, is right now, and always will be.

UNISON General Secretary Christina McAnea visited our Northern region 💜

Christina joined Cllr Karen Kilgour from Newcastle City Council in signing the Disability Employment charter.

At the Regional Council AGM she spoke about our growing membership, and the rise in active union reps and activists.

Unbelievably, the antics of an orange felon on the other side of the ocean have had an impact on my tiny little life. I promised myself no swearing, so all I can say here is no.
No to hate, no to fascism, no to all the wars of tiny-minded men, no to those who have it all & want even more still.
