My trade union, Unite, is engaged in strike-busting activity at the Royal Mail. In February, the General Secretary, Sharon Graham, declared that "the remaining financial relationship with the Labour Party is now under review" because of the Coventry bin strike, yet nothing has come of that while Keir Starmer's Labour has become more and more anti-union. The talks that some unions are now having with the Government would be unthinkable if Starmer were Prime Minister.
And Unite remains affiliated to the ILGA, which ungrammatically calls for action to, "Eliminate all laws and policies that punish or criminalise same-sex intimacy, gender affirmation, abortion, HIV transmission non-disclosure and exposure, or that limit the exercise of bodily autonomy, including laws limiting legal capacity of adolescents, people with disabilities or other groups to provide consent to sex or sexual and reproductive health services or laws authorising non-consensual abortion, sterilisation, or contraceptive use." The World Health Organisation defines adolescents as those aged between 10 and 19 years. This is a call to lower the age of consent to 10.
Therefore, I am in principle still a candidate for General Secretary of Unite the Union in 2026. Join Unite Community here.
