This is what Labour can achieve when in power.
22 years ago today the National Minimum Wage was introduced. Despite fierce opposition, Labour introduced it and saw more than two million workers get a pay rise. Now the fight to end poverty pay continues.
Being young in a political party, particularly if you're also a woman, means having to be twice as good as your colleagues for half the opportunities and a quarter of the respect. I've seen too many people my age trying to do the same things I am quit under the pressure.
Appreciate that Town and Parish Councils meet in the evenings, but I think we need to do the same for District and County levels. Proper allowances will also help to rebalance the make up of local government, and encourage others to consider standing.
Hi there. I have never replied to a tweet, but as a Town Cllr I felt compelled! The reason why I stood, aged 25, was to change how "the Council" looks to these people. The system doesn't help: lots of meetings are daytime so we can't be surprised that lots of retirees take part.
From my experience, I would say most just don’t have the interest because they don’t know how influential local politics is on their lives. After I did work experience at my local council, I found it way more interesting

Heartbreaking to see Devon on this list as one of the places most at risk of seeing our high streets hollowed out due to COVID ☹️ We need to invest more in our town centres, think outside the box and make them places for the community, not just for shopping or tourism

This landmark judgement is a testament to the hard work of trade unions. It sends out a clear message that companies shouldn't game the system by undercutting the rights of their employees. Uber drivers & all gig economy workers are entitled to decent pay, safety & job security

Our members put themselves in harm’s way to protect the public. They stepped up during a public health crisis, now employers and ministers must step up and address the pay crisis in local government and schools. Workers' dedication must be recognised. gmb.org.uk/news/unions-ca…
The Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court's ruling that the £1012 fee to register children as British citizens is unlawful. The Home Office must now act to reduce extortionate fees (it currently makes 60%+ profit on applications). Nobody should be priced out of citizenship.

Just 5 of 23 UK cabinet ministers are women, the lowest level its been in recent years. "Women make up 50% of the population and yet we continue to see men dominate positions of power in our society," @felicia_willow @fawcettsociety Thank you @ccdavies theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
