This is my personal blog. I was Branch Secretary of Lambeth UNISON from 1992 to 2017 and a member of the National Executive Council (NEC) of UNISON, the public service union (www.unison.org.uk) from 2003 to 2017. I am now a retired member of UNISON. I am Chair of Brighton Pavilion Constituency Labour Party and a member of the Labour Representation Committee (LRC). Neither the Labour Party nor UNISON is responsible for the contents of this personal blog.

Justice for Jean Charles de Menezes
The local UNISON branch of which I am a member, in Lambeth, South London, was one of many local community organisations appalled at the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes on 22 July last year. The news that no one will face prosecution over this killing has been very badly received in our local union office – and will be badly received by our members locally.
Anyone who can’t get or isn’t going to the Labour Representation Committee meeting on Saturday (see www.l-r-c.org.uk) may want to attend this important meeting:
