Minimum wage bandings have been in the headlines this week. Unlike some, we say workers deserve fair wages, regardless of age. The answer to fixing the economy and addressing youth unemployment isn’t minimum wage cuts for those already struggling. It’s investing in decent jobs and liveable wages

Local businesses in Birmingham are suffering. Like residents & bin workers, they want to see an end to the strike. Why did @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social walk away from a ballpark agreement and from all negotiations back in the summer 2025? Do your job. Get in the room. Negotiate a fair settlement

😡 "It's absolutely terrible in our streets. Rubbish is piling up." Lindsey asks Shabana Mahmood MP why has this strike gone on so long? Time to sort the mess out & come up with a decent deal for the bin workers - so they don't lose £8k. Local councillors and MPs aren't losing £8k are they?

The UN added Israel to its annual blacklist of countries committing sexual violence in warzones, citing 31 verified cases against Palestinians. Russia was added the same day for 310 cases against Ukrainians. Israel rejects the report as antisemitic lies.

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax. The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.
