& resource to boost growth, support businesses, create jobs & (get this) IMPROVE LIVING STANDARDS!! DP World, have just laid off 800 UK staff in appalling circumstances & brought in replacement workers on Ā£1.80 an hour. The company owe billions in loans, took Ā£10m in furlough
support & requested a Ā£150m Govt bailout. Sunak has welcomed DP World with open arms. His big push for these āfreeportsā has been warned about by many for a while. They are Charter Cities. Deregulated economic enterprise zones. Workers rights mean zilch. Itās the Libertarian

@ScottMorrisonMP speech today made me want to vomit. As in for real.

Heartbroken by this news. Our brave first responders are on the frontlines of responding to the #COVID19 pandemic every day and we owe so much to them. My thoughts are with Mario Araujo's family and the CFD for this immense loss.

I'm proud to have worked with @AFSCME @afscme31 on this, and I'm working to include it in any future relief package. #fundthefrontlines #protectworkers
