Good to see there is still some proper righteous indignation among Labour MPs, if only on the back benches. Keep fighting the good fight.

Terrific speech - and a clear call to arms. Thank you for speaking out for workers' rights and for your condemnation of the attempt to blame and "other" marginalised groups.

@eiecampaign So they wanted Brexit only to then fall in line with European laws?

Colin Sutton 🇬🇧3 years ago

Zarah, what is your view on the current law which prevents members of the armed forces and police services from striking? Should they have the same rights as you think other workers should retain?

John Dakin3 years ago

Our FPTP system gives governments large Commons majorities without a majority of votes in the country, allowing them to get through draconian legislation like this. Please, @UKLabour, give us electoral reform!

3 years ago the Tories promised 50k more nurses. Now they want to sack them all.

@eiecampaign You have my FULL support Zarah, what a breath of fresh air you bring. I can only hope that you and Lisa Nandy are kindred spirits, and that can be a powerful basis for Rebuilding True Socialism in this Country.

Steven Vaughan3 years ago

You’ve hit the nail quite squarely and comprehensively on the head there.

The Tories have gone from clapping nurses to sacking them. Labour will vote against their shoddy, unworkable Bill and defend the right to strike.

Rishi Sunak has gone from clapping nurses to sacking them. He’s lashing out at working people with a shoddy, unworkable law - that will do nothing to fix the mess he’s made. Labour opposes this spiteful assault on common sense - and we’ll be voting against this Bill today.👇🏻

The Tories are playing divide and rule, scapegoating refugees and whipping-up hate. Tonight I voted against their Anti-Refugee Bill.

Tonight I spoke against Government’s attack on workers’ rights, which undermines the basic human right of a worker to withdraw their labour. Nurses, ambulance drivers & railway workers face sack if they take strike action & refuse a minister’s instruction to break the strike.

Labour has consistently opposed the Tories’ assault on the right to strike - and we will do so again in Parliament tonight. If their vindictive anti-worker law passes, the next Labour Government will repeal it.

Last night I voted against Labour’s new law to stop the boats. Why? Because it’s a farce and not worth the paper it’s written on. We need to leave the ECHR if we are serious about stopping illegal migration. Reform UK is the only party that can be trusted to do that. My speech 👇

Tony Abbott’s impassioned speech tonight to protect freedom of conscience against the Greens’ radical abortion bill. Shame on Labor, Libs and Nats for granting a conscience vote on a bill designed to trample the consciences of pro life doctors and nurses.

Under the Tories, our NHS isn’t just on its knees, it’s flat on its face. My Labour government will train a new generation of doctors and nurses to make sure that people are treated on time again.

I asked Ontario’s Health Minister what this government is doing to RESPECT and RETAIN #nurses. Instead of answering, she talked about recruitment and alleged nurses who tell her they appreciate her. When I called out the non-answer, she laughed out loud. Ontario nurses are dealing with burnout, chronic understaffing, workplace violence, and unsafe working conditions. There is nothing funny about that. Nurses deserve better. #onpoli #NationalNursingWeek
