“We won Young Labour for the left, twice, despite right wing attacks” - this sort of inflammatory language is damaging to our movement, nobody in the Labour Party is right wing, the only attacks I see are coming from momentum itself against fellow LABOUR members.

But now, Momentum needs your help.

People make out like this is an oxymoron, but to be pro-worker you have to also be pro-business, otherwise a worker has no job. And to be pro-business you have to be pro-worker, otherwise business can’t function. It’s not a complicated idea.

We canvass in small groups because otherwise you’d have board runners overwhelmed with people coming up to them? Makes you wonder if many of those talking about “the grassroots” have ever actually been on grassroots campaigns?
There are just six canvassers in this photo and the candidate. Three of them are MPs. There's a striking lack of grassroots members turning out to campaign for Labour in this crucial byelection.

This is some of the most vile language I’ve ever seen from a sitting MP, Suella Braverman is an absolute disgrace.
The fact that she was a recent Home Secretary is a mark of shame on the Conservative Party and it is particularly deplorable that this is her leadership pitch.
Suella Braverman’s speech in Washington this evening contains a blistering attack on pro-LGBT Tories.
She says the pride (progress) flag has been flown on govt buildings as if marking “occupied territory”, accusing Tory colleagues of supporting a “horrible political campaign”

Conveniently David Lammy is left out here? Along with countless others, we all know there have been serious issues within Labour, but being an apologist for Tory racism isn’t the one
Labour love to call Tories racist. But this is their top team while Tories had a black Chancellor & brown Home Sec (however useless).
Meanwhile they block a black councillor who has been subject to racist policing & a Labour MP said Kwarteng didn’t ‘sound black’. Who is racist?
