The Drax's were compensated in 1833 to the sum of £4K+ (£3 mil in today's money). Interestingly, the compensation was for the loss of the use of enslaved Africans & not the land? But how did the Drax's acquire this land? Is there a receipt or legal title?

Important highlights of the great work taking place here in Salford despite just over a decade of harsh austerity brought in by the Tories. Remember it’s #3VotesForLabour 🌹 #ToriesOut

This morning I set out Labour's roadmap to fix Britain's railways.

Labour's plan means delivering a publicly owned railway within five years, putting passengers first, and bringing down costs for taxpayers.

Only Labour has a plan to get Britain moving.

Cheaper rail fares going towards improved journeys and a better, more reliable service, rather than £1 BILLION into shareholders pockets?

Sign me up.

NEW: the result is in.

GMB members at Birmingham City Council will take strike action to end the equal pay crisis.

An overwhelming 96% voted to back strike action.

So instead of addressing how to solve the backlog of asylum cases, the £4billion overspend on hotels & people stuck in hotels, including hotels in my constituency, the Tories are having drinks ahead of voting for this inhumane bill.

I will be voting against.

Salford’s much loved son, freeman of the City of Salford & artist, Harold Riley will never be forgotten, in his own words when receiving Freedom of the City:

“This is the greatest honour I have received, it is the highlight of my career. I love this city. I love its people.”❤️🙏🏻

This is terrific news ! Make sure you join a union 💪🏿 GMB Union

🚨BREAKING: In a historic first, the CAC have accepted a bid for union recognition at Amazon.

Workers in Coventry could become the first ever workforce at a UK Amazon site to win union recognition.

Recognition would enable collective bargaining over pay, terms and conditions.

Israeli Ambassador to the UK: 'Just imagine how things would have looked... this huge missile, think about it falling in the middle of a city like Jerusalem.. look how populated it is. Just think about it hitting neighbourhoods & people & children'

Just imagine.

Channel 4 News will feature an exclusive on my client, Richard Black, tonight. Richard, who returned to the UK on Monday after 40 years exclusion, questions why justice evades Black people even when major wrongs have been committed.
