    I grew up fascinated by this photo from 1970 of my Grandad (29) and Grandma (23) taken outside their home at 26 Langton St Salford 6. My Dad and Uncle are “rowing up the Amazon”, my grandads motorbike and sidecar is covered just off camera and their cousins are walking behind

    Today Salford Council passed a motion to write to @RMTunion GS Mick Lynch to send solidarity and congratulate him on his media appearances that have inspired thousands to join trade unions up and down the country. Proud to sign this letter alongside @salford_mayor

    Turns out I was being surveilled whilst a union rep at @ForHousing as order by CEO @henry_terefenko. Disappointing that that’s how a “social” landlord would behave. Trade union victimisation has no place in 21st Century Britain. I thought I worked in Swinton not El Salvador.

    How many jobs has Ben protected, how many pay rises has Ben won for workers - what exactly has Ben done for the movement?
    “Few people have done more to keep the Tories in power for the last 10 years than Len McCluskey” Labour MP Ben Bradshaw said the Unite leader has “done our movement so much damage” as the union plans to reduce its donation to Labour by 10% #politicslive bbc.in/3jEJfIm

    Honoured to have been elected as a Councillor for Walkden North in what was a trend bucking day for Salford Labour! I joined Labour in 2013 through my union @unitetheunion. As a senior rep they had my back and I’m looking forward to working with TUs on Salford Council.

    Very happy to have been re-elected and to see an overwhelming vote for Labour and a rejection of Britain First. Divisive politics of Britain First only weakens our communities. However, It’s clear we, as Labour Councillors, have a lot of work to do and we’ll get it done.

    Thank you to @SalfordDevils for this lovely signed condolence card. We buried my dad yesterday and to get home after a long day to find this on the doorstep meant a great deal. This is what rugby league is about.

    I’ve recruited a lot of people to a union before. But it’s a first for me to recruit a fellow Salford councillor during full council as a result of my motion in solidarity with @RMTunion. Welcome to the union @CllrWalters

    1/2. Solidarity with the @RMTunion on todays strike day! I moved a motion at Salford’s Full Council in solidarity with the RMT and @CWUnews. Time that the working class stops paying for the mega profits and gross executive pay of the boss class.

    Delighted to launch the Salford Rugby Solidarity Fund – covering subs for young players at Langworthy Reds, Folly Lane, Roosters, Cadishead Rhinos & Eccles RFC who face financial hardship. Grassroots solidarity in action. 💪🐝 #SalfordRugby #SolidarityInSport

    Last January I was dismissed from @ForHousing for my trade union activism but tomorrow I start with Unison. Can’t wait to start organising workplaces again!

    Thank you @salford_mayor for appointing me as Deputy City Mayor. I'm born and bred in Salford and I'm very proud to be given the opportunity. I'm continuing as Lead Member for finance and I will now also be responsibility for regeneration. Here's some priorities 👇
    I am pleased to announce my new top team to deliver on priorities for the city. Representing every resident is a privilege, one that I will never take for granted. See the new cabinet team here: orlo.uk/yriQo And our ambitious manifesto here: orlo.uk/7MIHR
