Yorkshire Water gave £1.5 million to the Chief Operating Officer this year.

Let that sink in.

That same money could’ve given every frontline worker £600 each—a 1.9% pay rise on top of the below-inflation 4.5% they got.

Instead, one exec pockets the lot.

🚨 Tory & Lib Dem Peers are doing the bidding of bad bosses.

They voted to:
❌ Keep zero-hours contracts
❌ Let bosses sack workers unfairly
❌ Attack teaching assistants’ pay

It’s time they got out of the way.

Labour campaigned on valuing our NHS staff, but a below-inflation 3.6% pay offer is the opposite of valuing nurses. Same austerity politics, different colour rosette.

Feels like this could be a pivotal week in determining whether David Lammy ends up facing the Hague for his complicity in Israeli war crimes.

Better to #backzack or hand in the membership card, sign up to yourparty.uk and set up a monthly donation? It's the second one for me but what do you think?
