The lack of support from the Barnet Labour Party is utterly disgusting and deeply disappointing. Barnet UNISON has tirelessly campaigned and supported your elections, only to be met with this betrayal. Shame on you!

As residents of this borough, many of us, myself included, rely on a robust mental health system. The current situation, fueled by council leadership and party inaction, puts that system at risk! This is unacceptable.

We need action, not apathy! Let’s raise our voices together and demand:

Safe working conditions for our mental health social workers.
Zero waiting lists for those desperately needing help.
Fair pay that reflects the vital service these workers provide.

We, the residents of Barnet, deserve better. We deserve a council and a Labour Party that prioritizes the well-being of its most vulnerable citizens. Let’s hold them accountable!

Really a disgrace and reveals the deep hostility to organized labour in practice in the Labour Party that belies the recent promises of Starmer to the unions. We see this over and over again, not least in neighbouring Harringay ( another Labour council) with it’s intransigent attitude to the direct maintenance building workers.

Barnet Labour need to get control of their officers and stop this nonsence, or Barnet Labour will forever be known as SCAB Labour.
