The new restrictions are going to hit our hospitality, retail and arts sectors really hard. We need to reboot furlough now to protect jobs and livelihoods. Me for The i Paper @ipaperviews inews.co.uk/opinion/workin…

The government must get to grips with the cost-of-living crisis. After 11 long years of wage stagnation, Britain needs a pay rise! independent.co.uk/business/tuc-n…

Only 1 in 100 key workers will be included in the priority testing scheme announced today - 'totally inadequate' says TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady. Full reaction here: tuc.org.uk/news/99-key-wo…

The government can’t sit by while rising prices hammer family budgets. We need a proper plan to get us out of this cost-of-living crisis. Britain needs a pay rise!

1) As we transition from pandemic to endemic, the country is crying out for leadership. Trades Union Congress has today published a new practical plan for ensuring that Britain at work is safe, secure and supported. Here’s my piece for PoliticsHome politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

£7 per week for families is a 'hopelessly inadequate' response to the cost of living crisis, says TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady. See her full statement here: tuc.org.uk/news/chancello…

1/2 Today’s cost-of-living support announced by the Chancellor is hopelessly inadequate. It will give most households just £7 per week and over half of that will have to be paid back. We need a proper plan to help families get through the months ahead - not stop-gap measures.

The TUC's Paul Nowak tells #BBCWATO it's "untenable" for wages to be held down & pay rises don't necessarily increase inflation as BoE warns

This is an insult to hard-working families. While millions struggle with the cost of living, it’s bonanza time for exec bankers. Bonuses need holding down - not wages! theguardian.com/business/2022/…

Where is the government’s employment bill we were promised years ago? We can’t level up Britain unless we create good-quality jobs and apprenticeships across the country! #QuestionTime

Has the government learnt nothing from this pandemic? Scrapping day one access to sick pay, and ending free tests, is taking a sledgehammer to public health. Low-income and frontline workers will be hit hardest. It’s just plain wrong!

DfT says “It’s extremely misleading to suggest the Transport Secretary should get involved in these negotiations.” Yes, say unions. It's extremely misleading. Read why here: tuc.org.uk/blogs/rail-str…
