Good turnout today for Unite for Energy for All campaign, demanding energy justice for millions of people in the budget and beyond. Plenty of campaign postcards signed, march to BBC with coffin, undertaker and drum grabbed people's attention. Leaflets given out on way. Thx all.
Leeds constituency fuel poverty figures are shocking! Will Gvt act on Budget Day to remedy this? Join us & Medact at our stall from 11.30am Wednesday 6th March by Leeds Bus Station (John Lewis end), then march to the BBC behind a mock coffin to symbolise deaths from cold homes.
Looking forward to FREE screening of @TheOilMachine this evening at 7pm - shorturl.at/iFIN3 - it's not too late to grab a seat!

The Government are pitting the fight for fair pay against migrant workers yet again. We must stand together against their attempts to divide us and oppose plans to increase NHS charges for migrants! ✊🏼 *Sign the solidarity statement here* - docs.google.com/document/d/1U8…
Last week we were making noise to Keep Our NHS Public, a service for all, based solely on need. Pubic sector pay rises via discriminatory charging are a new low. This week, we stand firmly with striking workers, and against the hostile environment in healthcare. @RishiSunak

Sunak gives with one hand & takes away with another. Offering a public sector pay rise - but funding it by carrying out yet more devastating austerity cuts to NHS, schools & other critical budgets - will do untold damage to the public services & people he claims he's helping.

I’m pleased the Airport is not proceeding with their application at public inquiry. From the start this was always about increasing passenger numbers and carbon emissions not getting a new building. I hope the Airport will enter discussions about reducing aviation emissions now.
Leeds Bradford Airport is scrapping its plan for a new terminal building. They blame “excessive delays” and the decision to hold a public inquiry. The existing terminal will be developed instead. @BBCLookNorth
@LMedact @galba_action Good for you! Airport expansion should never be at the expense of the health and safety of neighboring communities. #Atlanta #Fulton #JetFuelDumping
