🌹✊ Powerful speech from Angela Rayner at #TUC2026.
Good to hear a clear commitment to stronger workers’ rights, tackling insecure work and strengthening trade unions.
There’s plenty still to do. As trade unionists, we’ll keep pushing for better. ✊

🌹 “Only Labour is the party of work. The clue is in the name.”
Angela Rayner MP at #TUC2026 on delivering stronger workers’ rights, ending exploitative practices and improving pay and conditions.
✊ There’s much more to do — and we’ll do it together.
Great speech by @lyndarooke.bsky.social of @equityuk.bsky.social at #TUC2026 in support of motion C02, making the v important point that many other workers in the creative industries & gig economy are excluded from basic rights, while the Single Status of Workers has been kicked into the long grass.
The debate currently taking place in the conference hall at #TUC2026 on the Employment Rights Act 2025 highlights the need for a Single Worker Status, something that was central to the New Deal for Working People as originally conceived. Please read here: www.ier.org.uk/wp-content/u...
Migrant care workers answered the call when our health and care services were facing severe staff shortages. Changing the rules halfway through is breaking the promise made to them.
‘We will continue to lobby. I absolutely stand behind them,’ says @andreaegangs.bsky.social at #TUC2026

Great to catch up with Robbie Scott, Labour Party TULO over lunchtime today while down in Brighton for TUC Congress 2026.
Always good to talk about the issues that matter to working people and our communities.
Apparently there’s no such thing as being off duty — even when away at #TUC2026! 😂🌹

Coming up in this afternoon’s session at #TUC2026: Composite motion C02: Strengthening & protecting hard won employment rights for all workers, moved by @nasuwt-official.bsky.social & seconded by the POA - supported by the Royal College of Podiatry, the @rmtunion.bsky.social & @equityuk.bsky.social
"Progressive governments have to show they are on our side."
The UK Government must listen to the TUC and its unions — with real investment and an industrial policy for every region. A strong social dimension isn't a cost to economic progress. It's the foundation of it.
#TUC2026
"We are organising the fight-back together."
Workers and their unions are building a vision of hope over fear: decent jobs, fair pay, strong public services, rights you can rely on. That's what beats the division the far right feeds on.
"We've done it before. We will do it again."
#TUC2026
"The most effective answer to the far right is a fair deal for workers, delivered in reality."
