Amid a cost-of-living crisis, Birmingham bin workers were told to swallow an £8,000 pay cut.
Now they’re being vilified for refusing.
They’re absolutely right to strike — and they have my full solidarity.
Victory to the workers! ✊🏽

The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs.
At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong.
I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

Thinking about this war on disabled people that has been waged by successive UK governments: and how it’s always waged by people who are ashamed or afraid of one day not being wealthy, of not being “useful” to a capitalist system, who are desperate, and who project that onto the people they punish.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.
Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.
These political choices are cruel.
This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

A new @resfoundation.bsky.social report warns that child poverty will reach 4.6 million, the highest level since 1998.
Their key recommendation: abolish the two-child benefit cap.
That’s why I voted to scrap it & was suspended from the Labour whip.
The government must scrap the cap NOW.
