For too long, @LGBTLabour has operated secretively, and within a London-centric bubble. It needs change. That’s why I’m running to be the next membership officer. If you are an LGBT+ Labour member, message me for more information. We need your help!
🚨 @LGBTLabour members, there's an AGM coming: we're asking you support the Trans Rights Alliance 🏳️⚧️ We're a cross-factional group of proud trans, GNC & ally LGBT+ Labour members who want our organisation to boldly defend our community and actively engage our membership... (1/6)
Repurposing an LGBTQ+ campaign to push Zionism. Reprehensible. Utterly deranged.
Our Fight will be launching its "Get Over It!" campaign at the start of the London Trans+ Pride march, to challenge growing anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish prejudice in the UK. A number of Jews and non-Jews will gather, wearing t-shirts with the message 'Some people are Zionist. Get…
A great reception for the @CommHumber stall at #HullPride today. #JoinAUnion
Had a fantastic day at @prideinhull marching with my @Unite_Community branch. Absolutely exhausted, but worth it!
I was at the London picket today. @wesstreeting was nowhere to be seen. While doctors showed up in strength, he was nowhere to be found; refusing to acknowledge that moving a doctor from £18.62/hr to £22.67/hr over time is entirely reasonable. He wasn’t there to answer why…
Betting shops pray on financial vulnerability. Regulation must be much stricter. Gambling can be one of the most harmful addictions. Thank you to @DawnButlerBrent for her work on this.
Why are there barely any betting shops in Canary Wharf but rows of them in places like Bethnal Green? It's not by accident. Aim to Permit makes it easy for betting companies to target less wealthy areas. It’s time to end it👇 #HighStreetsNotHighStakes dawnbutler.org.uk/high_streets
.@LGBTLabour is failing our community. Now is the perfect time to join us. We refuse to stand by while politicians make decisions that have negative consequences on our lives 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/join-us
The one thing that this proves to me - the whole affair - is how essential resident doctors are to the NHS. Pay them their worth. Solidarity with those on strike from today ✊
🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have called for patients to be sent to private hospitals to ease the impact of resident doctors strikes
Being LGBTQ+ in this modern world is exhausting, and I've been feeling that burnout recently. So, I wrote this and wanted to share it 👇
This is fantastic news. The UK government must follow suit.
🚨🇫🇷🇵🇸 BREAKING: French President Macron: “I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.”
🚨 | BREAKING: We're calling on the UK government to: 🔴 Recognise Palestine now 🔴 Suspend the Israel trade deal 🔴 Ban imports from illegal settlements 🔴 End all licenses for arms traded with Israel in line with International Law 🔴 Sanction individuals who promote and commit…
The killing of innocent people is not new, and it's important to acknowledge that. Consistency matters - and I hope that politicians releasing statements today reflect on this. Action should have been taking a long time ago.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
What does real solidarity look like? Come along to our event in Liverpool this September to find out 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/post/join-prid…
Absolutely heart wrenching scenes coming out of Gaza. The official death toll is almost at 60,000, but the actual figure is likely to be much higher. The UK is complicit in these atrocities until it stops treating Israel as an ally.
Between 2020 and 2024, there were just 1,318 cases of alleged electoral fraud. Just 8 convictions, and 3 cautions. But here we have people calling for postal voting to be abolished despite the fact it would disenfranchise the disabled, elderly, and students.
Abolish mass postal voting.
The marketing of this has been such a disaster.
It’s not called Your Party!
Prime minister Keir Starmer posting relentlessly about ‘illegal working’ and bragging about raids on communities, while saying nothing about the mass starvation of Palestinians by Israel. Sickening.

Can we stop pretending that Sunak did a ‘great’ job? He wasn’t good. He wasn’t bad. He was just a place filler for the inevitable general election. His time as prime minister was utterly unremarkable.
We should never have gone to Liz Truss before we went to Rishi Sunak, it should have been: May, Johnson, Sunak! Rishi did a great job for the situation he was handed
There’s a big difference between voting and being responsible for a council budget of £500,000,000, Darren. Nobody is saying young people shouldn’t be involved in politics - but a 19-year-old being responsible for an entire council is baffling.
By the way, the same people slagging off a 19-year-old council leader are the same ones saying 16-year-olds ought to vote! 🤷🏻♂️
👏 austerity 👏 doesn’t 👏 work 👏
Britain needs brutal, brutal cuts - right across the board. It is the ONLY way to avoid absolute economic catastrophe. We are BROKE. It won’t win many votes, but it’s the grim truth. Afuera on olympic-busting steroids.
