I am dreadfully sorry to lose Zarah from the Labour Party. The people running Labour at the moment need to ask themselves why a young, articulate, talented, extremely dedicated socialist feels she now has no home in the Labour Party and has to leave.
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.
Join us. The time is now.

What an amazing 3 days. Have learnt so much and met the most amazing people. A great turnout by the 'fighting 9' and so much to take back to my Brigade. # DND @fbunational@EasternFBU@JanineBooth

If #Labour is worried about losing votes to #Reform because of #immigration, then the answer is not to copy Reform's immigration policy but to challenge it.
I thought Donald Trump was vehemently opposed to people seeking refuge in another country having been forced to flee their own?
I guess that doesn't apply to millions of #Palestinians being forced to flee to somewhere other than America, then.
Absolutely SUPERB speech from @JanineBooth from last years U.K National Education Workers Union.
A massive rallying cry for support for Ukrainian educators, and Ukraine in gen. And a decisive condemnation of a motion from Soviet-Left non socialists to collapse support for 🇺🇦. 👏
Another upcoming UK union conferences and Ukraine - the National Education Union (NEU), a school workers' union with around 1/2 a million members.
To start this 🧵 a video from delegate Janine Booth speaking at NEU conference last year.
