Workers didn’t have terms and conditions gifted to them through the benevolence of their employers.
Every right you enjoy as a worker comes from generations of trade unionists fighting for them.

I expected less than nothing from Keir Starmer's Labour and they still disappointed.
I expect very little from Andy Burnham's Labour and this budget is still disappointing.

Perspective. No club has lost more games than us in the past five seasons. Not even close. On top of that, we lost four of our first five league games this season. Fans know the club's on its knees, but they turn up each week. And rightly expect their team to do so too.

Support the pyramid! Maintain the blackout!

The 3pm blackout clearly helps smaller clubs. Lift the blackout, then we have a 'goals show' at 3pm & it's the major televised slot of the week. If you don't care about smaller clubs, that's up to you! But the idea it's an antiquated rule just isn't right.

On the module I teach, I've recently implemented 'mini vivas' - students have a 15 minute conversation about their work. It's a work in progress but at least I get to see how much understanding a student has.
Universities should end the use of unsupervised remote exams “immediately” or risk undermining public confidence in the value of a degree, according to a report that found four-fifths of institutions are relying on assessments that could be “highly vulnerable” to cheating #cheating #highered

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

10 years ago, the polls closed and the votes started to be counted. What a brilliant night that was. The people had spoken!

Yay Angela Rayner is back.
What are we doing here Jo?
Do we now think govt policy on HE will change because we say nice things about the new cabinet?
This union is dead.

The new cabinet presents a real chance for Labour to work for working people.
Putting trade unionist Anneliese Midgley in cabinet signals a real desire to work with unions.
We welcome @LucyMPowell as Education Secretary, a chance for government to really get a hold of the 16 education.

Hard to deal with the total credulousness of my trade union as tens of thousands of members are made redundant. It's as though they think the government will step in and save them if they are nice about the new cabinet on the telly instead of saying what's happening.
