Great to be in Brighton for this year's Annual @tuc.org.uk Congress. Enjoying catching up with so many old friends and colleagues.

Lovely to exchange ideas with the brilliant @graceblakeley.substack.com, author of ‘Vulture Capitalism’, at the @ucl.ac.uk IIPP conference on Rethinking the State’ this morning.

Lovely catch-up with my friend and fellow trade unionist, Kate Dearden, Labour MP for Halifax, in Westminster yesterday.

Can we turn around decades of slow decline in our manufacturing sector? My post following yesterday's launch of the UK Innovation Report 2025, produced by Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy.

Thanks to the @communityunion.bsky.social reps and members who made me so welcome when I visited British Steel, Scunthorpe, to research the report ‘Steel Reforged’, which was launched yesterday. I saw first hand their pride in the contribution they make to British economic success.
