Liberty Steel's collapse is devastating. It's another tragedy for UK steel - and South Yorkshire - brought on through chronic mismanagement by owners. But it's an opportunity for Government to take decisive action, as it did with British steel, to protect this vital industry.

BREAKING 🚨: More than half of care workers suffer violent attacks on the job 🧑‍⚕️ They do a tough, physically demanding job. Often for pennies above minimum wage. Carers deserve better - the Government's fair pay agreements are an important step.

Now we know when the key parts of the Employment Rights bill will come into force. This Government is matching words with action on trade union rights. This is the biggest improvement in workers’ rights for a generation.

Imagine not being able to hold your father's hand as he died. This was the reality in Covid. And our carers had to work in these unimaginable conditions. They deserve to be heard.

Orgreave was a dark day. Hundreds of miners were brutally attacked. This Labour Government’s announcement of an inquiry is welcome news. Forty years have passed. The truth will out.

Reform would gut our green industries - putting thousands of jobs at risk. But people need to see the benefits of green energy policies, with jobs in every community. That's why we've launched Climate Jobs UK with @ProspectUnion 🙌
