Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your letter of 18 October to the former Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the Rt Hon Simon Clarke MP, about local government spending. Your letter has been passed to HM Treasury. I am replying as the Minister responsible for public spending. I would like to offer my apologies for the delayed response.
Despite the innumerable challenges we face, our union is committed to providing for the most vulnerable both in and beyond the workplace.
‘Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York’ utters the disillusioned Richard III in Shakespeare's tragedy baring the same name. Coincidentally, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak – another delusional demagogue – is the Member of Parliament for Richmond (York’s), and his premiership should also be considered a tragedy; however, not for himself, but for the inhabitants of the British Isles.

GMB trade union call on North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Trust to remove unfair staff car parking charges. We believe that it's unfair that staff should pay to park at work. We also believe that it's unfair that substantial profit is made from these charges, and we can evidence this is the case as we have submitted a freedom of information request to the Trust and have been provided with the data.

GMB UNION MEMBERS DISPUTE AT POLYFLOR ENDS IN AGREEMENT
After 8 weeks of being in dispute with management at Polyflor and recent developments with the company they tabled an offer last week, we met with GMB members at Whitefield Method Church yesterday afternoon.
GMB Union continues to staunchly support and champion workers’ rights, alongside all equality and diversity related matters, and condemns FIFA, Qatar and all those reaping the benefits of this blood-soaked tournament.
Beneath the glitz and glamour of FIFA and Qatar’s 2022 World Cup, an undercurrent of prejudice and hostility towards basic human rights and decency is omnipresent. From the several countries decisions to drop the One Love armband, to the hypocrite executives in charge of FIFA, this year’s tournament is gaining volumes of notoriety, but for all the wrong reasons.
The silence from both FIFA and the Qatari Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy on all of these issues is deafening apart from the universal “Football is for All” and “Everyone is Welcome” spouted almost daily.
As associate members, LGBT+ campaign organisation JUST A BALL GAME? (JBG?) and Bradford City LGBT+ Fan Group recently joined German and Swiss Queer Football Fan Clubs (QFF) and other activists for a protest outside the Qatar Embassy in Berlin.
“If the health secretary wants to stop an unprecedented winter of NHS strikes, he knows what to do. It’s not rocket science. Give NHS workers a proper pay rise, that means they don’t have to use food banks or quit the service in droves.''
