The train crash near Bedford is deeply worrying and upsetting. The thoughts of the entire union are with everyone involved in this accident and their families. Tragically we now know that at least one person has died.

Safety must always be the first priority on the railways and our senior reps and Unite officers will be fully involved in the investigation to understand how and why it happened and to ensure that such accidents never happen again.

A major incident has been declared after two trains smashed into each other between Bedford and Luton leaving passengers injured

Britain now needs a vision. Workers and communities need hope. We must invest in Britain and jobs, stop everyday people paying for crisis after crisis not of their making. Straightforward policies such as capping energy prices immediately, releasing the crippling freeze on tax bands, introduce a wealth tax to fund our public services and a comprehensive industrial plan backed by real money, would be a good start.

🌹 Makerfield: Burnham Victory

There is absolutely no doubt that over the last two years workers and the working class have fallen out of love with Labour. The win for Andy Burnham in Makerfield is a glimmer of hope but it must not be taken as a business as usual mandate.

It is clear that there now needs to be an orderly timetable for a leadership election and Keir Starmer must do the right thing and step down. The inevitable leadership election must be fought on real change and policies. Not personalities or better speeches.

This result does paper over the cracks that workers feel abandoned by Labour and they will continue to abandon Labour in droves if there is not a significant change in economic and political direction. Rearranging the deckchairs and incremental reforms just won’t cut it.

Britain now needs a vision. Workers and communities need hope. We must invest in Britain and jobs, stop everyday people paying for crisis after crisis not of their making. Straightforward policies such as capping energy prices immediately, releasing the crippling freeze on tax bands, introduce a wealth tax to fund our public services and a comprehensive industrial plan backed by real money, would be a good start.

Today I'm with The Institute of Cancer Research Unite members who are fighting for fair pay.

The ICR might be a world-leading scientific centre of excellence, but when it comes to how it treats its staff it is at the bottom of the pile.

Unite supports members 100%. ✊
