83% of MPs' staff have felt unsafe at work. Nobody should face that alone. Over 1,500 staff from every party are organising together in GMB Union for safer, fairer workplaces in Parliament. Work for an MP or Peer? Join us: gmb.org.uk/join-gmb
New @GMB_MPs_Staff report out today: the number of MPs’ staff quitting in their first year is up 59% in two years, and half of those who quit now leave within ten months. I wrote about Parliament’s staff crisis for @NewStatesman in June šŸ‘‡ newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

78% of constituency staff have had threatening calls or messages. Half of MPs’ staff now meet the threshold for psychological distress. No one is responsible for their safety across Parliament. One Parliament, One Employer would change that. #1P1E labourlist.org/2026/11/mps-s…

They’ll be more than welcome to join the @GMB_MPs_Staff Christmas social instead…
NEW: The Lib Dems won't hold a big all-staff Christmas party this year despite hosting festive gatherings in 2024 and 2025. Harrogate and Knaresborough MP Tom Gordon, already a critic of Ed Davey, has emailed fellow MPs suggesting 20 of them donate £100 each for a smaller do. 🧵

Today we launched Restore the Floor. MPs' and Peers' staff deserve pay that keeps up. We're asking IPSA for a 5.8% rise and the 2019 pay bands back. The more members we have, the more likely we win. Join GMB. Read the report online: gmblondon.org.uk/assets/medi… #RestoretheFloor

MPs’ offices have changed, but the way staff are employed has not. @GMB_union is calling on MPs to support their One Parliament One Employer campaign for a single, central employer for Parliament. Partner Content

There are potholes that need filling in Hackney and yet @floschechter finds the time to go on LBC! Is that really a good use of their time??
'Is that a really good use of his time?' 'Raising money for a cancer charity?' The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

The core, and to me the best bit, of being elected is holding surgeries and helping constituents. It’s wrong and harms trust in politics to be running for another job when you’re not doing the basics. (Plus I don’t get why it’s taken months? I did my first surgery in days…)
Q Manivannan: too busy to hold surgeries for constituents, but can find the time to run for Rector of St Andrews.

As well as the tremendous result in Holborn and St Pancras last night, we made important local gains against the Greens and Reform in Lambeth and Newcastle-under-Lyme. The country is backing Labour’s positive plan for change. Hope is back🌹

OFFICIAL: Last night Lambeth Council confirmed the Lambeth Green Party misled residents about library cuts and asked them to apologise. Today, absolute silence. When are the Lambeth Green Party going to be honest with residents about their decision to cut libraries?
