Union members in Irwin's Bakery Portadown voted to proceed to a ballot for industrial action! Members are sick and tired of the erosion of their hourly rate of pay, which is now the minimum wage! These members deserve better pay and are willing to stand up and fight for it ✊

The financial exclusion of sex workers is an issue that is only getting worse, exacerbated by the fact individual sex workers often have neither access to justice nor the power to enforce change. It can have a devastating effect on the lives of already marginalised people.

I’M SO VERY SORRY EVERYONE. WE CAME TOGETHER in our tens of thousands to try & stop the Government using an unprecedented abuse of power to restrict the publics right to protest. Over 55,000 of you supported us. Tonight #labour @LabourLordsUK shamelessly ignored the publics outcry & backed the Government in its outrageous & unprecedented abuse of power by ABSTAINING on the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones. I have always supported @UKLabour but it’s refusal to join @LibDemLords & a small band of brave others across the House in backing tonights fatal motion was a disgrace. #labour has tonight supported the Government in restricting our right to protest. I promise I & many others did all we could to persuade #Labour to join us. Tonight they refused & sided with the Government - allowing it to restrict our right to protest & use an unprecedented abuse of power to get away with it. THIS IS NOT THE END. We shall continue the fight to protect democracy and will do it without #Labour if we must. I know each & every one of you will stand shoulder to shoulder with us
