To be fair to Matt Zarb-Cousin, he & others had a fairly good crack at that with the last general election, achieving the worst result since 1935 & giving this country over to the Tories for the next couple of years at arguably the most crucial time in the 21st century to date…

There’s big problems with Wakeford’s voting record & yes all defectors should face by-elections ideally but if we hammer out the point that changing your mind from Tory to Labour is a bad thing, then how can we convince former Conservative voters to make the same move?
Christian Wakeford MP should not be admitted to the Labour Party. He has consistently voted against the interests of working-class people; for the £20 universal credit cut, for the Nationality and Borders Bill and for the Police and Crime Bill. Young Labour does not welcome him.

Withdrawal from Pride is not something I support - this is exactly the time we should be out at pride and amongst communities, not shying away.
As an LGBT+ officer & a pride organiser, we will not be withdrawing from any local prides regardless of any decision made nationally.
Exclusive: The LGBT wing of the Labour Party is actively considering withdrawing from all Pride events across the UK.
I understand this is due to what how Labour is currently viewed in the LGBT community. Members don't feel comfortable marching as Labour.
