The fact
@RMTunion
’s Mick Lynch is some strange novelty to the media speaks volumes about the underrepresentation of working class voices in the national political and media class.
Electronic balloting for trade unions:
Tories refused as it opens strike ballots to “foreign interference”, but perfectly fine to be used by the Tories to decide our next PM.
No one has ever gone to a train station, boarded a train or looked at the state of rail infrastructure and gone “we really need fewer staff and to spend less on rail”.
Great result for
@BayoAlaba
who was our
@GMBPoliticsLDN
candidate. Few candidates have put more work into getting selected. Bayo pictured with our team going over his speech.
Congratulations to
@BayoAlaba
on being selected as Labour’s candidate for Southend East and Rochford.
The people of Southend East and Rochford deserve a dedicated and hard working MP who will stand up for them, and that's exactly what Bayo will be offering them🌹
🧵Thank you to our Ukrainian trade union friends for being so welcoming to

As my union’s officer for Labour staff across the UK, just wanted to say you are a great bunch of hardworking people who keep the show on the road. You regularly pull rabbits out of hats and let others take the applause. For what it is worth, thank you and good luck🌹👍

@TulipSiddiq
- was the road along from where I lived as a child, a Peabody estate - Dalgarno Gardens.
I am absolutely delighted to have been selected as
@HemelLabour
's candidate to fight the next general election.
The Tories have let down our community for too long - the fightback starts here!
How do you like them apples? If you know the politics of our
@GMBPoliticsLDN
patch (the East of England, London above the Thames, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire) or anywhere this map is just, well, phenomenal (

)
I'm honoured to be selected as the Labour candidate for Great Yarmouth.
Families here deserve a full-time, dedicated MP, not a part-time Tory yes man who has been cashing in on second jobs while local people struggle to make ends meet.
Change is coming — now let's get to work.
