This #IWD2022 I want to pay tribute to Jayaben Desai who led the mainly Asian women strikers in the historic Grunwick Strike 76/77 for union (APEX now part of GMB) recognition/better working conditions. Inspiring women who inspired/politicised a whole generation inc me.

‘You can’t clap for nurses one day and threaten to sack them the next. It’s not credible, it’s not moral and it’s not in tune with what the British people want.’ ‘You don’t end strike action by passing undemocratic legislation, but through meaningful negotiations.’ @SadiqKhan

The reality is the Tories would rather see the country paralysed and public safety put at risk than engage in good faith with the trade unions, who collectively represent millions of working people. My piece in @MirrorPolitics :

Great news! Mayor @SadiqKhan has frozen pay as you go fares on TfL. This means you won't pay any more this year than you did last year. This is in stark contrast to the Government, who have raise travelcard and train prices 4.9% - way above inflation.
