Well done all.

The Government’s decision to restrict access to disability benefits and slash the welfare budget is cruel, immoral and once again targets the most vulnerable in society. This alongside the winter fuel allowance cuts, and the betrayal of the WASPI women shows this Government lacks the courage and vision needed to challenge the gross inequalities and problems that exist in the UK. The utter failure to table a policy platform that asks the richest in society and those who use the UK as a playground for their billionaire tax dodging ventures to carry a greater burden, shows they have chosen to support elitism over the needs of the working class. It is becoming increasingly clear Labour will be a one term government if it continues down this path and it is heading straight into a democratic debate within our movement over the relationship between trade unions and the party we created. The CWU will be calling meetings with both other affiliated trade unions and the Government to campaign for this failed economic strategy and overall direction to be abandoned. The New Deal for Workers campaign showed the power and influence of our movement when we unite and fight for change - we must do so again. Dave Ward CWU General Secretary

Many people are asking why CWU does not represent all Post Office workers. Can I ask you all to retweet this thread as it further exposes the actions of Post Office management and why it is taking so long for justice to prevail…

Mark Drakeford is an exemplary, principled politician who has consistently stood up for working people. His leadership during the pandemic against the backdrop of a shambolic Tory government was exceptional. His actions saved lives. All at CWU wish him the best for the future.
