🚨 Public services need a bailout in the Budget.
We're putting workers on a pedestal in Westminster to give them the recognition they deserve.
They show up for us. It's time the government showed up for them.

Good to see BBC covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Disgusting level of unconstrained violence by settlers.

"There is modern slavery happening right now."
Migrant care workers are told to stay silent, accept poor treatment and endure exploitation because they are tied to a single employer.
It's a system that traps workers with abusive employers.
We need a better way. #FairVisasNow
James Anthony 🏥🌈👨🏻⚕️🗣 retweeted
Every day, public service workers show up for us 💙
Now it's the government's turn to show up for public services.
Invest more. Insource now. Pay fair.
