Victory celebtration for the workers of Legal 500: Monday, 5 October, 9-9:30am, 188 Fleet Street www.unitedigitaltech.org/2026/09/lega...

The striking Legal 500 workers have won!

Breaking news! After two and a half weeks of strikes and daily picketing outside the Legal 500 offices, the workers of Legal 500 are pleased to announce that we have won! We have accepted an offer that fully met our original pay claims of a £2,000 pay increase for every worker in the bargaining unit.

You can read more about our win in the Unite press release here!

Consequently, after accepting the offer from management, all further planned industrial action is now cancelled and workers will return to work on 31 September.

However, it is not over! On this coming Monday, 5 October, we will have a short celebration from 9am to 9:30 at 188 Fleet Street before we collectively enter the offices. Please come join us!

We want to thank every activist and organiser that came out in support of our strike and spread our message, the numerous journalists that interviewed us and published stories about our strike, all the lawyers and passersby that spoke with us on the picket, as well as all the union branches that have donated to our strike fund.

However, now that we will be returning to work, it is necessary for us to rally other branches to bring back up Unite Digital & Tech Branch’s general strike fund to where it was once before, if not more robust than it was previously.

Therefore, we ask that you please continue to share our model emergency motion amongst other union branches. We are also available to speak at local London union branches about our experiences on the picket and the history that lead us from a scrappy, two-year-old unionised workforce to a robust group of workers that beat senior management in just 13 working days.

Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026  
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

The christofascists said they would do this in 2017. Well, we warned you that trans people were the testing ground, but you all thought, “If we throw them trans people, they’ll leave the rest of us alone.” As with the manufactured ETs against trans people, youre going to get the same against LGBs.

For any confused Americans, dogging is a traditional British term for walking the dog, if you're ever over here and see someone with their pet make sure to tell them how much you love dogging. That nothing makes you happier than seeing that wagging tail and panting mouth out on the heath.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

The RNLI has been recieving £100k a day since then. Which is awesome. But the RNLI was already recieving £20k a day, and they aren't militant antifascists, and we need both to combat fascism and protect migrants. So whatever you'd donate to the RNLI, consider bunging 5% to our comrade's legal fund.

Heya folks. We're on a final push to get to £10k. We're on just over £8.3k. That's less than 1/10th of what fascist Danny Tommo has recently received inndonations after slashing a dinghy with an RNLI worker on it at sea. Meanwhile our comrade faces more than 12x the jailtime for opposing fascism.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.
Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

I know the British people have not given up on their belief that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations, and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution. But I also know this process must be capped and controlled, and communities must be ready and able to welcome those who come here.

Burnham, as expected, fuelling far-right narratives instead of addressing them He knows painting these as "legitimate concerns" will only embolden and legitimise them He knows they are minoritarian but he makes them "the people" He's comfortable for the rest of us can suffer the consequences
Burnham says concerns of women in Piddington about camp for asylum seekers 'understandable'

Q: What would you say to the women of Piddington concerned about having a camp for asylum seeker near their village, or women in other villages with similar concerns?

Burnham replied:

    Those concerns are understandable and they have to be addressed in whatever solution is finally agreed.

    There were also concerns expressed about the use of hotels and the reason why the nature of accommodation is changing across the country is because a commitment was given to end the use of hotels, and that was what many people were calling for a few years ago.
Burnham says he will be 'relentless' in dealing with small boats, but sidesteps offshore processing question

Q: Would you consider more radical policies, such as sending asylum seekers to a country like Albania to have their claims processed there?

Burnham avoided the question, but stressed there was some evidence that “things are going in the right direction.”

He said he would be “relentless” in addressing this issue.

And he praised what Shabama Mahmood, the home secretary, is doing on this.

    She’s got a strong grip on this issue. What we have been doing is working, but more is needed and more will be done.
