Social work is valuable work. It is also emotionally intense, challenging, and sometimes exhausting. That's why it's important social workers know their rights and are prepared to defend them collectively. I was proud to speak at the UNISON's social work seminar yesterday.

Palestinian Lubna Speitan has had 56 of her relatives murdered by the Genocidal Israel in Gaza. She called Zionism Racist, it's far worse than that, now Caroline Lucas is calling for her to be banned from the Green Party. Disgusting.
