Budget response: Much to welcome – but the government needs 'to move beyond small fixes'
“To improve ordinary people’s everyday lives, the government needs to deal with the fundamental causes of the miseries so many face." says @AndreaEganGS

Every year, £6 BILLION leaves our public services in profits for outsourcing giants.
That would pay for:
🏫 2 years of free school meals
👵 300,000 adult social care workers
🏠 30,000 council houses a year
🏥 200,000 nurses for the NHS
It’s time to Insource Now! #Budget2026

Patriot Platform is set to bring its message of hate and division to Manchester.
We stand in solidarity with @Manchester_SUTR and support its counter protest on the day. ✊
If you're attending the counter protest, please keep it peaceful and lawful and stay safe.

📢✊ Recognition alone isn't enough. Our public services need investment.
At our #WeShowUp statue unveiling in Westminster, UNISON president James Anthony and head of nursing Louie Horne set out what workers need from the Budget.
Our public services need a bailout.
UNISON North West retweeted
In tomorrow’s budget we need a public service bailout. Paid for by taxing big corporations, banks and the super rich
🏥 Investment in public services
💷 Fair pay
✊ Bring services in-house
The government must show up for public services.

🚨 UNISON's meeting with the home secretary was cancelled after a migrant worker was barred from attending.
@AndreaEganGS explains why she refused to meet without the workers directly affected by the government's proposals.
Read her latest blog ⬇️

ALT Why UNISON's planned meeting with the home secretary didn't happen.
ALT "I consider it both cowardly and politically inexplicable that a Labour cabinet minster would refuse to engage directly with workers in the firing line of their proposals." Andrea Egan, UNISON general secretary, via the UNISON blog.
‼ HAPPENING NOW ‼ ☔
Theatre workers are back out on picket lines at all four @NCAlliance_NHS sites this morning. ✊
The trust must start listening and pay all theatre staff the overtime rates in their contracts through their usual pay, not through a secondary employer.
