This cost-of-living-crisis is an everyday reality, and workers need immediate change that they can touch and feel.
If this govt is going to reconnect with everyday people, it needs to stop the performative statements, roll up its sleeves and back Britain. Britain is hurting and we need action. 2/2

Local authority workers are the backbone of communities across the UK, providing many public services that are vital for a functioning society.
Years of austerity have cut council services to the bone while workers and communities have been asked to pay the price. 1/2 ‡οΈ

Drax has serious questions to answer about the rationale for this decision. A just transition needs more energy workers with expertise, not fewer, to succeed.

Reeves must back defence investment plan or be sacked, says Unite union boss
Sharon Graham tells chancellor she should βback British industryβ by increasing military spending
The Treasuryβs delay to promised defence funding is the latest in a long line of bad decisions, including winter fuel, allowing British refineries to close, and a jobless net zero transition.
If you can't back Britain and back British jobs, maybe you are in the wrong job.
