This confirms what we already know – working households are really struggling to make ends meet. We urgently need tailored support packages for the hardest-hit industries or thousands more jobs will be lost. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/working-households-income-plummet-8-cent

Embarrassing shambles. How can a ‘Health and Care Visa’ fail to include care workers and vital NHS staff within its scope? Who will keep our hospitals running and our care homes going when ministers pull up the drawbridge? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/fury-new-uk-immigration-rules-22347873

No one should go to work to help others and fear being assaulted themselves. Tougher sentences are needed to send a clear message that attacks on our emergency workers are not acceptable. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-welcomes-consultation-tougher-sentencing-attacks-emergency-workers

This looks like a good start. We'll be watching to ensure the government follows through with these job & training opportunities. This cash MUST end up in workers' pockets - not offshore accounts of shareholders and CEOs. #SummerStatement #MiniBudget https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/summer-statement-cash-boost-must-go-workers-not-bosses

This is a disgrace. At the start of this crisis we persuaded the government to scrap parking charges for all health and social care staff. Now ministers are showing their true colours. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/charging-frontline-heroes-keep-us-safe-disgrace

Today marks 15 years since the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London. Those attacks took the lives of 52 people. Our thoughts are with their loved ones and the 700 people injured that day. We thank the heroic first responders that worked tirelessly to protect and save lives.

Shameless. Boris Johnson's government established these arrangements. Now he's trying to rewrite history by blaming underfunded, underpaid and undervalued staff in our care homes. We won't let him pass the buck on this. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/06/anger-after-johnson-appears-to-blame-care-homes-for-their-high-death-toll

This is a massive win for our members. There is power in a union ✊ https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/full-coronavirus-sick-pay-15000-care-workers
