The far right showed up at
#fab18
conference today to harass the first Muslim Mayor of London for his strong stance on Trumps visit to London.
@SadiqKhan
and I are proudly Muslim, proudly Labour and proudly anti-Trump.
Let’s make 2018 the year we beat the fascists 💪🏼🌹
This morning I’m thinking of my mum and grandparents who settled in Britain in the 1970s.
I don’t think they could have envisioned in one generation their child, would be a Member of Parliament.
It’s only the Labour Party that can do that.
I’m just so proud of you Nes 🌹🌹
The young people who Nick Clegg tricked into voting for his party with false promises will now have left University burdened with excessive debt. & he’s being rewarded with a knighthood - what a joke!
Heartbroken and disappointed in my MP today
A few tips for you
@labourlewis
A. If you’re an antisemite you’re not an anti racist. You must oppose all forms of racism to be an antiracist
B. If you’re not jewish you do not get to decide what is and isn’t antisemitism.
End of.
Clive Lewis has just confirmed to me that he was one of three MPs who submitted character statements in support of Marc Wadsworth. "I've known him for 20 years. He's an anti-racist campaigner. I watched that video and I don't think that warranted being expelled from Labour"
I’m really excited to announce that I’m running to be the next youth representative on Labour’s NEC. We need a Young Labour that is radical in its approach & a youth rep that will fight for young members on the NEC and beyond:
#ElectEda
Today is what the bigots want to call
#PunishAMuslimDay
.
But I’ve got a message for the xenophobes & the racists: we will never pander to your hatred.
Stay safe all my Muslim brothers and sisters. We will prevail ✊🏼
Why? The management stated “you lot are 5% of my revenue and 100% of my problems”.
My friend’s birthday was cancelled and was a bleak reminder that racism, in the middle of London is alive and kicking. (2/2)
My campaign to represent young members on the Labour Party’s NEC was unsuccessful.
I will continue to push for a Labour Party that is proudly pro-freedom of movement, anti-fascist, liberated and truly democratic.
See you on the doorstep 👋🏼🌹
Last night I met
@AngelaRayner
an inspiration to so many young women. We spoke about how I’ll be on the Early Years, Education and Skills Policy NPF.
I can’t wait till she’s Secretary State for Education & we get a properly funded & resourced National Education Service 🙌🏼🌹
If people on committee actually travelled around, spoke to young members and left their bubble - they’d hear that Young Labour members bring up Brexit and Labour’s policy constantly...
Why are committee so quick to ignore party members?
Young Labour National Committee wish to clarify our position. We fully support
@jeremycorbyn
’s leadership and individuals cannot claim to represent our 100,000 + members without robust policy discussion.
I am delighted to announce that
@JewishLabour
have decided to support my bid to become the next NEC Youth Rep.
Antisemitism does not belong in the Labour Party & I have always proudly stood against it. On the NEC I would continue to stand up against antisemitism
#ElectEda
To the person that called me in the middle of the night screaming down the phone “you’re a fake Muslim” at least have the ballls to show your caller ID. I’m pretty sure this person is a Labour Party member too
Just another day being BAME woman in the Labour Party 🤦🏻♀️
As a trade union, if we negotiate a pay deal for our members we put that deal back to the members and they decide whether that's acceptable or not.
It is with the people that approval of the final deal should rest.
Really proud that
@labour4europe
have decided to endorse me to be the next NEC Youth Rep.
I campaigned for Remain in my local area. I am, and have always been passionately pro freedom of movement and pro European.
#ElectEda
So proud of my beautiful friend
@lily_madigan
for going on tv tonight to say loudly and proudly that the more diverse women in political roles the better. So proud to call you my friend chica 💞
Labour activists gave it our all yesterday. It was the leadership of our party that let us down and failed communities across the country.
Corbyn’s narrow politics have facilitated this Thatcherite Tory government and it’s unforgivable.
Not seen anyone who wants to reverse Brexit seem to get that the Leave campaign was centred primarily around more funding for the NHS, because that’s what most people actually care about day to day. Not the merits or otherwise of being in the EU compared to some other arrangement
Excited to be elected as International Rep for Labour Students. Can’t wait to champion center left politics across the world & shed light on some pressing issues. Let’s start talking about the refuge crisis, trade union rights across the world & ethical foreign policy❗️🌏🌹
🚨VOTING IS OPEN 🚨
I don’t want to just change the processes of Young Labour I want to build a movement with you, a movement ready to take on the Tories.
When
@DrRadfem
took that creepy picture of
@madigan_lily
, she also captured her sisters (including me) standing shoulder to shoulder with her. I’ve never been prouder to call her my friend ❤️
From my local Labour Party Facebook group 👇🏼
Calling out antisemitism is the right thing to do. It’s not about votes, or political football. And if you think it is, there’s something wrong with you...🤬
I couldn’t be prouder that
@LGBTLABOUR
have chosen to support me to be NEC Youth rep. I’m so proud that Labour have been at the forefront of the fight for LGBT+ liberation and if elected I will continue this fight on the NEC 🌹🏳🌈
#ElectEda
FYI Most institutions in this country are racist e.g. barriers in education, health inequality & unfair recruitment. If we’re truly an anti-racist party, we should accept there are structures in our society, even in our party that are racist, even if members don’t see it.
GIVE LABOUR MEMBERS A SAY ‼️
82% of Labour members would back a referendum on the terms of Britain’s departure from the EU.
Sign this petition & give Labour a meaningful Brexit vote at Labour Party Conference 🇪🇺
#WhyBritsDontWantTrump
He’s a racist, sexist, islamophobic, xenophobic, narcassistic, Nazi apologist, who will only empower Britain’s far right and their vile anti-immigrant rhetoric
No, thank you 🙅🏻♀️
Bütün İstanbul’un kalbini kazanmaya geldik. 16 Milyon İstanbullu hemşehrime teşekkürler. Herkesin mutlu olacağı yeni bir başlangıç bu; İstanbul’a hayırlı olsun. Kalp kıran bizden değildir ❤️
For everyone wondering why young people don’t get more involved in our Party at all levels take a look at this.
It’s this attitude that puts young people off.
On the NEC I’d fight to make sure young people are represented & have their voices heard.
#ElectEda
📣 REGIONALISE THE NEC 📣
Couldn’t agree with this more. We need ALL voices heard, ALL people and ALL regions represented on Labour’s NEC 🌹
If you agree, sign this petition👇🏼
Everyone please report this tweet. Makes me physically sick that people think blackface is acceptable.
Reminder that 45% of all female abuse in the GE went to Diane Abbott - because she is a black woman. 😡
I’m buzzing to announce my manifesto for NEC Youth Rep! I’ve got so many ideas for the future and how we can make Young Labour a mass movement ready to take on the Tories. See here for more 👇🏼🌹
#ElectEda
I met Lily on a Free Education march & have always adored her commitment to our Party.
Liberation is something I care deeply about & trans liberation is no exception. I’m so pleased Lily has decided to
#ElectEda
. She is a formidable activist and all round incredible person! 🌹
Proud that Labour authorities across the country are flying the Europe flag!
Well done to my local council, Enfield, for fighting to protect workers’ rights, freedom of movement & EU nationals’ rights, despite the lack of direction from the Tories.
More of this please👇🏽🇪🇺🌹
Yes i fully support the IHRA definition in full and unamended. If I was elected onto the
#LabourNEC
I would move to implement it at the first possible meeting.
Hi
@EdaCaz
. As a candidate for NEC, our 2000+ members would like to know if you support the full and unamended IHRA definition of antisemitism as
@UKLabour
’s sole definition of antisemitism? If not, why not? Thanks
Ecstatic to announce that Welsh Young Labour have decided to support me to be the next NEC candidate!
It would be a top priority for me to represent all the regions and their young members on the NEC 🏴🌹
I joined the Labour Party when I was 14 but it was Labour Students that introduced me to the national movement. I’m so delighted that they have decided to support me in my bid to be your next NEC youth rep 🌹
Can someone reach this guy about colonialism?
I am 5 generations British because my great great grandparents’ country was taken over by Britain.
Try again hun x
"It's not your country!"
This will be a very long five years for Britain's BAME communities, whose desperate pleas about the racism & prejudice exploited & emboldened by Boris Johnson were ignored, dismissed or ridiculed by the UK's political-media elite.
So chuffed to announce that last night I was elected Youth officer in Edmonton. I’m so excited to build on an active youth movement and help young people to get more involved especially in the build up to the local elections 💪🏼🌹
For me
#WorldRefugeeDay2018
is for my Nene, Dede and mum. They fled persecution in Cyprus and found a home in the Eastend, 1971.
They’re the lucky ones.
It’s been two days since I published my Brexit video and I’m STILL getting abuse 🤦🏻♀
FYI to all the haters my family were fleeing war and are now legal citizens
Joan has done so much for Enfield: fighting for Kurdish rights, fighting to save Chase Farm A&E and campaigning for safer streets. Does this not matter because it doesn’t totally fit your ideology?
This stuff seems pretty self indulgent and certainly not Labour.
Proud to win the backing of Community trade union after they balloted all their Labour-supporting young members. Community is a campaigning union with a proud history of standing up for workers across the country, from traditional industry to the jobs of the new economy
#ElectEda
I am completely heartbroken that
@joanryanEnfield
has chosen to leave Labour. Joan saw the potential in my mum, when she had few qualifications & hired her when she was a single mother.
I couldn’t be prouder that
@UsdawUnion
have chosen to support me as the next NEC youth rep.
Usdaw are excellent at responding to today’s changing world of work, and getting young people involved in trade unionism 👏🏼🌹
Since I launched my campaign I’ve had lots of support. I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s offered support, it means so much to me.
If you’re interested in nominating me watch the video below to find out how!👇🏼🌹
#ElectEda
I’ve set up
@TTCKyouth4Lab
for Turkish, Turkish Cypriot and Kurdish young Labour members and supporters. I’ll be sharing and celebrating the voices, concerns and culture of our young members. Give us a follow! 🌹
Labour legends like Barbara Castle, Margaret Bondfield and Baroness Scotland did NOT fight this hard for a party to champion a misogynist like Ian Lavery 👋🏼
EXCLUSIVE: Ian Lavery joked about physically "grabbing" a woman who challenged his pro-Brexit views
In leaked audio, the Labour chairman said he was "unlikely" to do it because of "you know, the situation with harassment in the party"
It comes as he considers running for leader
I joined the Labour Party when I was 14 but it was Labour Students that introduced me to the national movement.
I’m so delighted that they have decided to support me in my bid to be your next NEC youth rep 🌹
#ElectEda
Find it interesting that attacks on Labour Students and vile stunts like this have increased significantly since the first Muslim chair was elected.
Get a life if you think this is funny x
‼️ when will faux woke (only ever white) people see their privilege? ‼️
you’re not left wing if you:
- vote for the far right
- enable a Tory hard brexit
- defend racists
- throw migrants under the bus
My two older sisters have taught me how to argue, how to dress, to always work hard and to never touch my eyebrows.

#IWD2018
they have to get a shout out 🙄💗
Or vote for a party who are open and honest with you - if we want good public services, we all need to chip in. A penny in the pound on income tax to raise £6bn for our NHS.
