Corbyn's leadership brought thousands into politics, and opened up a space for the left, both within and outside the party, to put radical ideas on the agenda. It will shape our trajectory for years to come. Thank you

Today I'm calling for a national Income Guarantee Scheme to combat coronavirus.

🔺 A Danish-style wage subsidy initiative
🔺 Statutory Sick Pay increased and available to all

🚨 BREAKING: Labour has effectively DUMPED its pledge to ban zero-hours contracts.
Instead of an outright ban, Labour now says that zero-hours contracts will be ALLOWED "if workers welcome flexibility themselves".

The World Transformed festival was inspired by Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party: to build the ideas & movement for a socialist future.
He’s always stood with us, so today, amidst attacks from the party leadership, we’re resolute in our solidarity with him.
The working class are back ✊🏽
Full solidarity to the Liverpool striking dockers today and every day!

Diane is a lifelong campaigner for liberation & justice. She's endured immense racism, sexism & hostility whilst representing her constituents for over 35 years.
It is disgraceful that she is being subjected to this anti-democratic treatment.
As a Black woman, and someone on the left of the Labour Party, I have unfortunately been forced to reach the conclusion that I will not get a fair hearing from this Labour leadership.
We have just launched our TWT Resource Hub - a website of guides, resources and materials that share the ideas and experience of organisers across our movement.

The highest compliment I can pay Laura is that after 7 years in the BBC’s top political job, with countless hours on screen and many conversations off-screen, I have no idea what her personal political views are or how she votes in a general election. A true professional.
