70 years ago, the Princess Victoria sank en route to Larne from Stranraer claiming the lives of 135 passengers and #seafarers. P&O Ferries operate this route today. #RIP to the victims of Princess Victoria and their families

Key workers were there for us when we needed them most. Now @RishiSunak is threatening them with the sack. Tonight, I’ll be voting against this attack on the fundamental rights of working people.
