This is naked hypocrisy from Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP.
The government thinks that RFA seafarers are vital enough to justify them being denied their right to strike, but not vital enough to pay them a decent wage.
Solidarity with RMT

This week, MPs met with the new Cuban ambassador to the UK Ismara M. Vargas Walter.
The US blockade of Cuba continues to have devastating consequences for the Cuban economy and its people.
It needs to be brought to an end.

#RomaniResistanceDay marks eighty years to the day that Romani and Sinti prisoners in Auschwitz rose up against their Nazi captors.
We remember and honour their bravery and stand in solidarity with the Roma community who continue to face prejudice and discrimination worldwide.

Congratulations to former Unite the union: join a union leader Tony Woodley for successfully taking his #StopFireAndRehire Bill through the House of Lords. With the Bill passing to Barry Gardiner in the Commons, now we must keep up the pressure to end this abusive practice once and for all✊

I'm glad that Andy Burnham has started a conversation within The Labour Party about right-to-buy.
We need to get serious about protecting our housing stock and delivering homes fit for the future.
I've written to Angela Rayner 🌹, urging her to commit to abolishing right-to-buy.

It has been a great day campaigning with #PensionJustice4Miners activists in Westminster.
I look forward to raising the issue in the Commons Chamber tomorrow when I lead a debate on Justice for Miners and Mining Communities.

Natalie Elphicke’s values are not the values of the labour movement.
It’s outrageous that she should be allowed to join the Labour benches while principled socialists like Diane Abbott MP and Jeremy Corbyn still haven’t had the whip restored.

We know Labour will come under pressure from business interests but there should be no backtracking and no weakening.
But Labour needs to deliver the New Deal for Working People as one of its top priorities.
I agree with Matt Wrack.
