Why McDonald’s? In 2023 McDonald’s signed a legally binding agreement with the EHRC over concerns about its handling of sexual harassment complaints. On 6 October #McStrike is back. McDonald’s is where we’re protesting. Every workplace is where we want change. #EndNotDefend

Reform is selling promises that follow the same Thatcher-era playbook. Those policies helped create today’s crisis insecure work, weak protections, rising inequality. You won’t change your life by voting for the same failed politics under a new label.

What are the chances that a man who boasted that he can grab women by the pussy, who bought the Miss Teen USA pageant, who couldn’t keep his hands off his own daughter, who was best friends with a notorious paedophile, and who appears a million times in the Epstein files is completely innocent?

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed. Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

When those in power close ranks to protect the person who promoted them, don’t call it loyalty call it self-interest. That’s career first, country second. Politics might be a game to them, but the consequences are real for working people lost hope, lost chances, and real damage to real lives.

Politicians and CEOs who were mentioned in the Epstein Files are either resigning in disgrace or being criminally investigated, so how is it okay for the orange felon to remain in power when he is mentioned the most in the files as well as is actively covering up damaging info.

Supporting workers' rights does not justify cutting benefits. We refuse to engage in that. Working class communities includes both those in work and those who are not. No cuts to #disabilitybenefits We oppose the politics of division. We stand united we stand strong.

Instead of tackling poverty, the political elite use it as a weapon. They pit working people against each other encouraging us to blame migrants, the sick, disabled people, the unemployed to justify cutting support and funneling money to the rich. We need real political change.
