At Labours National Policy Forum last year, I repeatedly advocated for Labour to commit to funding free school meals, at a time when child poverty is sky high and thousands rely on food banks.

Apparently there’s no money for that, but there is for a ‘hike’ in defence spending.

See our local election video for 2024. We are changing our city for the better with our unique #PrestonModel policies. Vote The Labour Party on Thursday, May 2nd 🌹.

A magic money tree for bombs & bullets, but not for hungry kids.

There seem to be similar alleged irregularities in the Ilford South selection as there was in Croydon East.

The Croydon East contest was suspended and people are under party and police investigation. Seems there's a strong case for the same in Ilford South

A very positive step forward from Louise Haigh. In our new Preston Labour manifesto we will explore how we establish a bus company so we do what most councils did until a few decades ago and directly provide bus services to benefit communities.

The Tories have broken our NHS with underfunding & privatisation.

To fix it, we need:

✅ a major funding boost
✅ a real pay-rise to tackle the recruitment & retention crisis
✅ reversing privatisation & outsourcing

Good policy, good politics.

The allegations that Labour has used its online voting system to rig parliamentary selections suggest that Starmer’s addiction to purging the left is corroding the integrity of Britain’s democratic system. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/starme…

Nearly three weeks ago, The The Telegraph broke bombshell allegations of vote-rigging via #Anonyvoter in Labour's Parliamentary selections.

Since then, we've had zero investigations & zero answers.

I wrote on this democratic scandal for Tribune 🔽 tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/starme…

A Transport Secretary for a Tory government which has:

❌ cut 8,000 bus routes since 2010
❌ presided over a broken rail network
❌ defended the failures of privatisation

You've long since forfeited any authority you had.

Public control of public services 🌹

A great policy demonstrating the benefits of state intervention - public services for people, not profit 🌹

Now Labour needs to combine this with a real funding boost to reverse Tory cuts - and a plan to harness public ownership for mail, energy and water too 💪

Wilma Brown was until today Labour's Parliamentary candidate in Cowdenbeath & Kirkcaldy.

She's now been suspended for racist tweets.

But Labour's Leadership claim to have a 'robust due diligence' system in place to ensure 'high quality candidates'.

So what went wrong? A🧵

Due diligence is only for lefty socialists in the Labour Party, not for those on the Labour right hence why a vile racist such as this can become a Labour candidate

Racist candidates.

Allegations of vote-rigging.

Mass stitch-ups.

Labour's Parliamentary selections are not fit for purpose. Demand an independent, KC-led investigation ▶️ mtm.is/selections

More evidence Labour only does 'due diligence' for left wing candidates ... (who can be blocked for liking tweets by Caroline Lucas)

Vile racism and bigotry exposed, but apparently never noticed previously? @Tomorrow'sMPs

Statement: 'There are shocking, unacceptable comments and it is astonishing the candidate was ever selected.

It poses major questions for Labour over its candidate selection process - left-wingers have been blocked en masse on spurious grounds, while those loyal to the…

The Labour Party *could* be a hero, by promising to take back control of the NHS it created, fund it properly and stop wasteful privatisation

Wes Streeting could save patients' lives by being honest and uniting people around the NHS 💙

There is a clear likelihood that UK military hardware is being deployed in a war which has been assessed by the ICJ as a plausible genocide.

Our government has been complicit in this every step of the way.
