Tens of millions of pounds back in the pockets of working class women here in Sheffield.
Great to meet some of our members who have fought for and won equal pay.
Pay justice is coming - solidarity. ✊

For generations, the ceramics industry has provided skilled jobs and supported working class communities across Stoke-on-Trent.
It's now under threat from rocketing energy costs and unfair competition with cheap imports.
We need action on energy bills to save the Potteries.

Great to get the chance to support striking whisky workers at InBeverage today.
The company celebrates profit-boosting trade deals negotiated by the Labour government.
They should also support the basic rights the government is legislating for - union recognition & bargaining.

Carers do vital work and deserve to be paid properly.
Fair pay agreements give us the chance to raise wages through collective bargaining - key to filling 130,000 care vacancies.
Tories can spare us the policy review and start by apologising to carers for their Covid failures.

Gas will be with us for decades to come - supporting jobs, heating homes and powering industry.
We desperately need investment in gas storage, it’s vital for our energy security.

Our members at AstraZeneca produce life changing medicines and the 5,500 skilled jobs on site are vital to the local community in Macclesfield.
Thank you to our shop stewards, Ant and Peter, for meeting with me last week and talking me through your campaigns.

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.

Great to be out in Northumberland listening to our members in the care sector.
Even after all they went through in the pandemic, care workers are not properly valued.
It’s time for pay and conditions in the sector that reflect the incredible work they do.

Next week marks 5 years since the beginning of Covid lockdown.
The lessons from the pandemic have not been learned - our members in the care sector are still having to fight for a decent wage and proper sick pay.
Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences with me today.

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.

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. 🤒
