On the back of Martin Tyler’s comment regarding Hillsborough, I have invited Mr Tyler and @SkySports to meet so that I can outline to them our Real Truth Legacy Project which has once again proved to be desperately needed. #JFT97

Roy Hackett, who sadly died this week, was a leader of the Bristol bus boycott.
His work resulted in new laws banning employers from discriminating against a person because of the colour of their skin.

It’s scandalous that Rishi Sunak funnelled public money away from deprived areas and gave it to affluent Tory shires.
The Levelling Up Secretary needs to urgently investigate what changes were made to funding formulas and what justified the changes.
✍️ My letter to @GregClarkMP
The Conservative Party have been doing the exact opposite of levelling-up since 2010.
When they speak to their people in places like Tunbridge Wells, they make their real views known.
The people of Stoke, Darlington, Rother Valley, Crewe take note. They’re laughing at you.
EXC: @RishiSunak told Tories in Tunbridge Wells that as Chancellor he tried to reverse Treasury formulas "that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas" so areas like theirs could benefit

Disgusting comments from Martin Tyler this morning on @BBCr4today who said "Hillsborough and OTHER hooligan related incidents" Nobody challenged him!! How can he be allowed to have a career in sports journalism & perpetuate these lies @SkySportsPL #JFT97
"Hillsborough and OTHER hooligan related incidents"
Exceptionally crass comments from Martin Tyler on @BBCr4today - a man who should know much better.
Even now, people whose careers are built on football still spread these foul smears. I hope there'll be an apology sharpish.

@PaulaBarkerMP @IanByrneMP Solidarity from our CLP Ian.
Solidarity to @IanByrneMP, your family and your team.
Nobody should have to put up with this in the course of doing their jobs.
BP and Shell report bumper profits as families are hit by rising energy bills.
What does former Shell employee Liz Truss want to do about it? Nothing.
Time we stopped handing back billions to oil and gas giants and used the money to help people instead.
Thankful that decades of determined campaigning by the Liverpool-born children of deported Chinese seamen has finally received the recognition they deserve: that the treatment of their fathers and their families was racist and coercive.

Well done to my good friend @KimJohnsonMP as well as the families affected by this grave injustice. I’m delighted they have finally received the recognition they deserve.

“We only ask for fairness and equal treatment”
Not too much to ask for is it? Read Joanne’s story here 👇
https://www.tuc.org.uk/blogs/standing-ourselves-our-ocs-dispute-story
“From the front line to the picket line. We’re disgusted.”
We asked Joanne, NHS domestic worker at The Harbour, Blackpool, to tell her industrial action story 🗣
As we enter more action in the @OCSDispute this week. Please share Joanne’s story and advice for others 👇
@arrivanorthwest can easily afford to give @gmbnwi bus drivers a fair and proper pay rise. Companies should #PayUp. Please support @gmbnwi bus drivers in their fight for fair pay. @PaulMaccaGMB @Robbie_Mgmb @TUCNorthWest @KimJohnsonMP @IanByrneMP @PaulaBarkerMP @DanCardenMP

General Secretary @DaveWardGS spoke to @DailyMirror about the BT and Openreach strike. https://twitter.com/DailyMirror/status/1554197273617350659
"They've been acting disgracefully, I think they've lost all respect from our members.''
We’re still going strong here at The Harbour in Blackpool. Lots of public support from passing motorists. All we are asking for is fair pay in line with our NHS colleagues. #PayUpOCS #strike #Blackpool #OCS @NorthWestUNISON
Humbled by the support I received in my constituency to fight the next general election for Labour. Thank you all for your support. Let's take the fight to the Tories!
Out supporting BT & Openreach @CWUnews members this morning on the picket line at Heaton Moor telephone exchange in Stockport.
It's a disgrace that some in the workforce have to rely on foodbanks to survive #FoodbankPhil
Thanks @lisanandy for taking the time to visit the @cwugmersey Wigan picket line this moring to speak to #TheCWU BT & Openreach members on strike and show solidarity @CWUnews @DaveWardGS @CWU_AndyKerr

Congratulations to our amazing @Lionesses They have inspired a nation & put womens football on the map. #ItsComingHome
WE ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! 🤩🏆
Government Minister opposes workers having a rest on their rest day.
That is where we are.
It's a shame he wasn't so upset when Raab was on his sunbed whilst Afghanistan was falling to the Taliban.
📢 UNOFFICIAL STRIKES: Passengers using Avanti West services should expect disruption today. Archaic rules from 1919 mean working on rest days is voluntary. Unions now stopping drivers volunteering - causing misery for public & staff who won't get paid. We MUST modernise rail.
Sunak’s attention-seeking gimmick that will do nothing to solve the worst crisis in NHS history.
This is a dangerous thin end of the wedge that will penalise the most vulnerable and would cost more in admin than it would raise.
NHS leaders agree 👇🏻

Thinking of the Walker family today with love & respect. A young life taken due to racism. We must stand firm in our fight for a world without racism & hate each and every day.
17 years ago today, Anthony's life was stolen from him in a racially motivated attack. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr Gee Walker and her family. The AWF will continue to honour his memory by challenging racial prejudice and discrimination that exists today.

We've had a great time at #Liverpool #Pride. The rain may have arrived but the atmosphere was incredible. We hope everyone has an amazing and safe rest of the day at @LCRPride

Pleased to announce that I’ve been reselected as the @UKLabour candidate for Streatham at the next general election.
Thank you to all @StreathamLabour members, local trade unionists & affiliates for placing your trust in me.
I hope everybody has a wonderful #Pride2022 in Liverpool today. I am so sorry that I can't be there in person due to my son leaving for America today.
Thanks to @MetroMayorSteve for the chance to show our shared support for our wonderful LGBTQ+ community (and of course @LFC!!).

“NHS backlogs. Millions of people desperately waiting for the treatment they need. Bills rising. Everyone poorer. Increases in national insurance we promised not to do”
12 years of Tory Government - in their own words
3 years ago today, the Love Wavertree band started to play...
To celebrate, @JohnLewisRetail award us a community grant, @PaulaBarkerMP meets our volunteers, and we announce a new grant to @mysteryjpr for a project with Royal School for the Blind
