This is the answer to Trump & his corporate buddies. 4,000 workers mainly migrants. Work conditions appalling. Pay very poor but start strike & fight back. They have a big rally tomorrow. Watch video, look them out, give your support. When fighting back in the U.S. right now, they fight for us all.

At the core of any fight against Reform and promotes migrant & workers rights has to be the organised labour movement. That has to include union and Labour activists. We need to Restore Labour Democracy to do that. Sign up

Labour coming third in Gorton & Denton was the result of a leadership that ignores members on the policies we need and denies them a real choice of candidate. I’ve joined trade union leaders, MPs & others to demand: Restore Labour Democracy. Sign here👇 tinyurl.com/RestoreLabou...

An absolute disgrace of a campaign run by Labour in Gorton & Denton. That alone is a reason why major heads must roll. The Labour Party can no longer silence dissent. It must listen to its left MP critics and talk with those like the Greens and fight Reform UK.

Hopefully action will now happen against Mandelson as well as Andrew, not exposing just the inequalities of noble birth but the everyday collusion of the super-rich to which Epstein made himself a hub. But around Epstein, all the networks of ruling class power

It’s the 120th anniversary of the adoption of the name the Labour Party. Today, there’s a growing call across the Labour & trade union movement about the need to restore democracy & members’ rights in the Party. If you agree, sign up to the statement in this video.

Good that Labour parliamentarians @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social and many others have moved quickly urging the Home Secretary to drop the ban on Palestine Action that has proved “extremely counterproductive to public order, community cohesion and trust in the Government”

Mandelson stitched up Labour in Parliament to be compliant to Starmer and his appointment as Ambassador. My CLP was denied a fair selection and was ripped apart by such factionalism. As Mandelson & others are removed Labour must undo that purge. That is its only hope. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform. Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal. But Guardiola is right. We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

VP Vance had initially joked about the day’s events where Musk had called for Trump to be replaced by him - needing 2/3 of Congress. 3 hours later (midnight in Washington) Vance is compelled to stand by Trump. It would be good to know of the exchange between Trump and his VP in those three hours.
