I am standing to be a NPF rep in the East Midlands. For far too long, politics in our region has been dominated by narrow-minded factionalism that has driven our party to the brink of ruin. It’s time to elect reps who will fight for a pluralist party with a socialist platform 🚩
Labour members have been treated with contempt by this Leadership. We’re supporting candidates in internal elections that will back bold policies and defend members’ rights. 📅 CLPs have until 26 June to nominate candidates. See the full list here: futureweneed.com

Your reminder today, as no one will report it, that the leading children's protection charity in the UK, NSPCC, opposes a blanket ban on social media, along with many other children's safety groups. This is what they've said: "But for countless children, especially those who feel shut out or unheard offline, social media isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline – a source of community, identity, and vital support. “A blanket ban would take those spaces away overnight and risks driving teenagers into darker, unregulated corners of the internet. Everyone involved in this debate will have the best interests of children at heart, but children’s fundamental right to participate safely in the digital world, to access information, to connect with peers, and to have their voices heard must be protected. They should not be stripped of those rights because tech companies have repeatedly failed to build platforms that protect them."

Reintroducing the assisted dying bill under the spectre of the crisis in social care while cuts to welfare to fund warfare are made shows wanton disregard for the opinions and lives of disabled people
🚨Breaking - Lauren Edwards will bring the assisted dying bill back. The Labour MP says the process has been “frustrated” and she will use her spot on the private members bill ballot to return the bill to the Commons

I had social media growing up so I deeply understand the concerns. But growing up I didn’t have access to tutors. My mum wasn’t around as she worked evenings. When I needed help revising for my GCSEs, I turned to educational content on YouTube. For kids from backgrounds like mine, it offers support they might not get elsewhere. That matters in this conversation.

sorry but which part of the political class is “ignoring justified fears over mass immigration”?? it is constantly on the agenda, we are constantly getting announcements of new policies, legislation and schemes. utter nonsense to suggest otherwise.

39 years ago today, @HackneyAbbott was elected as Britain’s first black woman MP. A tireless campaigner for anti-racism and social justice, she is an icon in the labour movement and across British politics. Labour must restore the whip.

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white. When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

We look forward to campaigning alongside @JessicaLBarnard to end the authoritarianism that has become commonplace under Starmer’s Labour. It’s crucial that she is reelected to the NEC so she can continue being a socialist, anti-war voice and advocate for Party democracy.
Following an investigation, my suspension has been lifted. I have been fully reinstated with immediate effect I’ve spent my life fighting for a party that represents its members and serves working‑class people Im standing for re-election to Labours NEC Let’s get our party back

Just respect other people’s wishes for how they want to be referred to. It’s not hard. One of the things we British are supposed to be renowned for is good manners. #Pronouns #LGBT #NonBinary #Language #TheyThem

It’s Pride Month! And to celebrate here’s what I’d do as Youth Rep to bring it back to our party- because I’ll stand up for every member, no matter what 🏳️‍⚧️

Young people are not enthusiastic about voting for Labour - you can see it on social media, in conversations with friends, or even at school. Many feel hopeless. They are rightfully worried about the rise of the far-right, the cost-of-living, and Israel’s actions in Palestine.

You’d struggle to get onto another job given some of the seedy stuff that’s come out about you pal. Not many employers want someone who chucks around sexist, misogynistic and homophobic comments - you’d be what’s called an HR nightmare.
My priority is Makerfield, not going onto another job. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

This performative cruelty does nothing to create a single job. All it creates is misery and hardship
