What is it really like working for an MP? And are conditions getting better or worse?

After fifteen years I am no longer Chair of @unitepsbranch, the union branch representing staff of MPs and Lords from all parties in parliament and in constituency offices.
Please forgive me a bit of self-indulgence to detail some of the achievements we have made in that time.

And so Bone lost the seat not only for himself but for his girlfriend and his party.
The consequences of bullying your staff are now clear and real.
MPs take note.
Parliamentary Staff Branch retweeted
A truly significant moment.
For the first time an MP has lost their seat predominantly due to bullying staff.
I hope others take note and recognise that their behaviour may now have severe consequences.
Thank you @MickWhitleyMP for signing a recognition agreement with @unitepsbranch.
Over the coming months staff will be asking their MPs to sign recognition agreements.
We look forward to many more MPs getting on board
