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.

Safe in her hands???
Help! Our health service is in the charge of someone who is clearly not of this planet.
Patricia Hewitt has today said how well the Government is doing in improving the health service!
Geoff Martin knows what health workers think about this nonsense.
You don’t get 7,000 people demonstrating in Haywards Heath because everyone is so chuffed with the Government’s stewardship of our health service!
We need to get along to lobby Parliament on 1 November in order to express our opposition to cuts and privatisation in the health service. This is not just an issue for health workers, and all trade unionists should support the lobby.
The union movement also needs to go beyond fighting attacks on public services sector by sector. We need to support a unified campaign against privatisation across all our public services.
