Ian Lavery is MP for Wansbeck

While key workers facing poverty are being told to accept wage cuts, Downing Street is lifting pay caps for bankers. There’s class war alright – but it’s being waged by the elite.

There's only one answer to the staff shortages causing chaos in our airports and that's for employers like @British_Airways to pay their staff properly.

GMB's Nadine Houghton spoke to BBC News ahead of the result of our strike ballot, due at 2pm today.

No-one wants to take strike action. But what’s unforgivable @nadhimzahawi is attacking hard working staff that kept education going during COVID but have lost 1/5 of their pay in real terms since 2010. #ValueEducators #ValueEducation

Ministers planning to boost City bosses pay whilst workers struggle to cope with the worst cost of living crisis in history.

@BorisJohnson had no answer to my Q instead attacking me for standing up for workers.

Tories are on side of bankers not people who are suffering. #PMQs

Today we’ve written to @nadhimzahawi. If teachers don’t receive the above inflation pay increase they deserve, we will be balloting for industrial action.

It's time to #ValueEducation and #ValueEducators

Full solidarity with the RMT!

Visit your local picket line to show your support.

For details follow @RMTunion or visit https://strikemap.co.uk ✊

The @UKLabour was formed by the trade union movement to give working people a political voice

Workers face a cost of living crisis. Rail workers @rmtunion are fighting cuts to pay, job, pensions & conditions

Come what may, I will be on a picket line supporting workers tomorrow https://twitter.com/siennamarla/status/1538939029315624961

In Parliament, I just called out the Government's disgusting smear campaign against railway cleaners, rail ticket office staff and the maintenance workers who keep our railways safe.

The Government's cynical role in this dispute is appalling.

"They don't call it the struggle for nothing..."

Great to march with @IanLaveryMP as the Labour movement descended on Parliament Square yesterday to demand better than the Tories.

Solidarity ✊

Always good to March with sisters for better-and my good pal @IanLaveryMP of course ✊#getmehomesafely @The_TUC

Great night at the @tynesidecinema with @Daniel_Draper_ & @SOTL_Films. #Manifesto is a tribute & thank you to the superb activists of Walton - but has echoes that can be heard across the movement. And a proper discussion after, as you’d expect with @LauraPidcock & @IanLaveryMP.

We did it - very emotional watching the Miners Pardons Bill being unanimously passed in the Scottish Parliament - I’m proud to have played my part in this campaign - we now need a UK wide inquiry and compensation scheme and an inquiry in Orgreave
JUSTICE FOR MINEWORKERS

Serious concerns raised about the trigger ballot process in Apsana Begum’s constituency, including allegations of harassment & threatening behaviour, involving sexism & misogyny, to undermine Apsana’s position. I’ve urged the party to intervene. Nobody should have to endure this.

After the Grenfell Tower fifth anniversary debate today myself and colleagues from the Labour benches caught up with Emma Dent Coad, who was the MP in Kensington at the time of the disaster in 2017.

There’s still yet to be proper #JusticeForGrenfell but the fight continues. 💚

Very well said @IanLaveryMP https://twitter.com/SaulStaniforth/status/1537094494960631811

Nearly time for the March on Saturday.

We need you there! This is a chance to show that there is another side. A side prepared to fight for better for ordinary people in the UK.

It’s the @RMTunion being attacked today. Could be your job tomorrow. Be on the right side of this

"I received support from the @RMTunion at the 2019 election. Anbody reading the right wing press would have thought this was something to be ashamed of. I want to tell everyone in this house that I'm not ashamed of it. I'm extremely proud of it". Well said, @IanLaveryMP ✊🏽

Mick McGahey: a miners' hero.

"This isn't rhetoric, it's a fact - whilst the rich get obscenely richer, we're seeing people at the lower end of the income scale suffering so much". @IanLaveryMP in parliament today.

A message of solidarity to Mick Lynch and everyone at @RMTunion - everyone at the CWU is 100% behind you.

Solidarity forever.

Two 6 week old pups been stolen this afternoon from a licensed trainer in the Hartlepool area one dog and one bitch. Both are black
They have just been micro chipped.
If anyone has any info could they message on either the GBGB welfare line on 020 7822 0917 or DM on here.Thanks

A gentle reminder to those that think the forthcoming #RailStrikes are just about train drivers pay that @RMTunion represents all these grades and more.
Thanks to @laurencec123 for the use of the graphic👏

Patriotism isn't waving Union Jack flags or uncritically backing everything Boris Johnson does.

It's working to make your country a better place for everyone - wherever they live in the country and whatever their race, class, gender, or disability.

Yet more shameful behaviour from this disgrace of a company https://twitter.com/sackedseafarer/status/1534834652745277440

We're proud to have the support of @IanLaveryMP behind our + @HCSANews' new joint report's recommendations.

Thanks so much @IanLaveryMP for visiting our drop-in event + standing up for NHS staff today 💙
