Good to see Argentina took that with, erm, grace and dignity

Labour and GMB. I really like it when we win elections
Don’t get too excited Spain might be given a foul against that corner flag
In awe at the mental gymnastics required to be an Argentina fan and be mad at this referee
What's great about VAR is that it makes the matchday experience worse while we still have clear and obvious errors.
DAY 3️⃣ of GMB strike action at ISS 🧡 Fantastic to have @feryalclark.bsky.social MP at the ISS picket line at Chase Farm, North London NHS Foundation to support our members’ fight for equality and fairness at work. Thank you Feryal!
Hi ISS you might want to check your emails… We’ve just agreed another three days of industrial action, sent fresh from the picket line. See you tomorrow! …and next week …and the week after that You get the idea. Love, GMB
🚨GMB are ON STRIKE at ISS🚨 Members at Chase Farm (North London NHS Foundation Trust) are taking action for equality and fair conditions at work. We’ll be out today, tomorrow, and as long as it takes for ISS to get back round the table with a real offer. #MakeWorkBetter
Great to meet with Jonny and Lauren from the CST about how we can support Jewish GMB members, work with the GMB Jewish Faith Workers Branch and take a clear stance against antisemitism in the workplace. Proud to be leading on this in the union movement but much more to do!
We need to see the law changed, so that employers and workers know when action must be taken to keep workers cooler and safer. Add your name! www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/we...
We need a maximum working temperature
Every summer, temperatures are rising and working in prolonged heat and sun can be dangerous. It can cause a number of health concerns, from dehydration and dizziness to the most serious of illnesses....

When you see it, call it out. There are now new protections for whistleblowers who call out sexual harassment at work.
How do we get more co-operative homes built? 🏗️ @rachelblakemp.bsky.social chats to us about our brand new report Yes In Our Backyard and how we can remove the barriers facing community-led housing.
Getting out the vote on the phones for our Angeliki - the excellent Labour candidate in Gorton and Denton. Unity not division. Labour not Reform. Let’s do this!
Four years ago Putin began his brutal invasion of Ukraine. Today - and all days - we stand with Ukrainians. Sláva Ukrayíni 🇺🇦
It's clear who Reform UK stand for - and it's not workers. They seek to sow division, while committing to throw our hard-won rights on the scrapheap. labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/
As someone who was in local Government it is sadly too common for opposition parties to claim that there is a magic hidden pot of money which councillors/officers have simply ignored. The reason councils of all stripes have had to increase council tax is because the funding model is broken.
This quote from a Reform UK councillor sums it up beautifully. Cross-boundary moral outrages, exported online and sold (especially, but not exclusively) to generations that grew up before the internet, are such a central feature of radicalisation today. www.kentonline.co.uk/maidstone/ne...
the good news for Kemi Badenoch is that she's actually being handed on a silver platter an opportunity to partially detoxify her party without needing to do anything other than appear non-toxic the bad news is that she is Kemi Badenoch
not sure this is the classiest response from the Tories to the latest defection to Reform UK
