More than 1 million people fled to #Rafah at the direction of the Israeli military. I saw the overcrowding there for myself recently when in #Gaza .
They moved in search of safety - but there is nowhere safe.
An assault on Rafah would be an untold disaster.
It must be stopped.

Superb work Unite the union: join a union Ross Quinn and the ELE reps & members.
A great result showing the power in an organised workforce✊

Today on #MayDay2024 ELE workers took part in strike action after the company’s failings of tabling a substantial pay offer.

The strength and solidarity of our members has since then resulted in an improved offer being put forward. Action is therefore suspended as they ballot 🗳️

Reports of alarming practices at a Banbury private hospital, 'showing a blatant disregard for fair labour practices and patient safety.”

Delivering free school meals is one of my proudest achievements as Mayor.

No child should go hungry - yet the Tory Mayoral candidate wants to scrap this transformative policy.

A vote for Labour is a vote to protect free school meals - and make them permanent.

Led by the richest Prime Minister in history, the Tory government is rounding-up people seeking asylum and plans to deport them 4,500 miles away.

This cruelty is about punching down, scapegoating refugees for crises created by the Tories.

It's repulsive and must be rejected.

Professor Sir Michael Marmot, IHE director, said: 'Put simply, Britain is a poor, sick country, getting sicker, with a few rich and healthy people; the results of a dismal failure of central government policies since 2010.”

Austerity was a political choice.

Today is the day to celebrate the workers!

The Covid era showed us what ‘essential work’ looks like. We appreciate all the work that supports the smooth running of our lives, however invisible that labour seems to have become again. ✊

'Workers' rights to organise in trade unions are a mark of a free society.'
To honour International Workers Day we should celebrate our history.
Happy #MayDay from RMT
