Dear @GarethBaconMP .As my MP, who do you stand with? Your Constituents who made enormous sacrifices or your Prime Minister who's laughing at us for doing so. It cannot be both. #WhoAreYouWith .#Orpington.

don’t like Salmond’s politics, but I think it’s quite obvious there is some sort of political witch hunt going on here.
If Salmond has won the referendum in 2014, there would have been no charges against him & Sturgeon would right now be praising him as the most wonderful leader of Scotland. This is why the whole thing is political & why we can't believe a word she says.

@plumbingjedi this was videoed in August, less than a month after election. do you not think that its somewhat unreasonable to make assessments of an administration that young based on the state of the country caused by 14+ years of mismanagement and neglect, and then shout at a random bloke?.

i really do have a genuine question: how do @YoungLabourUK activists afford to get all across the country? this is not a criticism of anyone whatsoever, I just really don’t get it. I have to work most days doing manual labour when i’m at home from uni to afford to live! 1/2.

@thoyles @vaughangething £200k. From a climate criminal. No apologies. No money returned. Pathetic. Had it coming. Brought the Welsh branch of our Party, if not the wider Party into complete disrepute. He should do everyone a favour, and resign. You can challenge timing, not the result.

Leafletting non-stop in Petts Wood on the eve of election day! Tomorrow in #Orpington, let’s get the vote out. Let’s get @ju_owens elected. Let’s turn Orpington, Bromley and the UK, red.
Really positive vibes today in sunny Petts Wood, lots of pledged votes secured and great feedback talking to constituents on the doorstep. Vote for change. Vote for Ju Owens and Keir Starmer. Vote Labour: for a better Britain.

our asylum system is clearly quite flawed if we’re granting sex offenders asylum 3 years after their conviction. why wasn’t Abdul Ezedi deported immediately? look at the damage he’s ravaged on Clapham in his senseless corrosive substance attack. shocking to the entire nation.

This is very disappointing. Solidarity with @zarahsultana and all others suspended tonight.
Rebecca Long Bailey, Apsana Begum, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain, John McDonnell and Zarah Sultana have all had the whip withdrawn for six months after defying the leadership over an SNP amendment to the two-child benefit cap policy introduced by the Conservatives.

Hello, this was me. I am him. I am okay but had I not stood my ground in the GP surgery for 20 minutes demanding I be referred to get prescribed antibiotics (I’d been denied them for three weeks prior), the chance of sepsis from aspiring/swallowing pus would have been significant.
My son, at uni 300+ miles away, got turned away from A&E this week. According to NHS guidelines he did the right thing seeking immediate medical attention for a potentially life threatening reason. We’ve got him home to monitor for sepsis & pneumonia. HOW has it come to this?.

@SadiqKhan is genuinely my favourite politician in the country. I am completely willing to stick my neck out and say that. Even over Burnham. Doesn’t mean I think he should be our next leader, I’m not sure the electorate would love that. But he’s my personal favourite.

I congratulate @RyanJBogle @lundy_mackenzie on their appointment to vice-chairs by the YLNC, and I am sure they will do a good job, but I too have to echo these concerns regarding the transparency of this whole procedure.
So why weren't young Labour members told about the new vice chair role? First I'm hearing of this. Disappointed that we as members did not get to vote.

@Slay4Sam I’d love to agree but all this will result in is vote splitting. We have a better chance in both Uxbridge and Rutherglen. It is nonsensical to split the progressive vote and in Mid Bedfordshire that’s all that would occur. With the Lib Dem’s (and Greens) surge in the south.

It was great to be out door-knocking and getting the vote out in Eltham and Chislehurst today for @CliveEfford: a full campaign day speaking to constituents and running the board. My phone may have broken, but our spirits remained strong. and it looks to have paid off!! #Labour.
The last session door knocking in #Mottingham for #Eltham & #Chislehurst Labour candidate @CliveEfford. It's been a fantastic day. I'm looking forward to a fantastic night of superb results for #Labour!

this is excellent news, and a sign of the Change this Labour government is making.
Labour is expected to follow legal advice likely to recommend a partial or full Israeli arms embargo, and to drop its objections to the International Criminal Court’s plans to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. @rivkahbrown reports.

@rhys_goode @HuwMar sorry?? point of view? there’s no POV about it. What this man has said is factually accurate. I’m a Labour member, but Gething has disgraced himself and Welsh Labour. £200,000 from a climate criminal and crocodile tears. Someone crying isn’t nice but the insincerity of it all….

Vaughn Gething take a bow. A distinctly pathetic and spineless performance this afternoon. £200000 from a climate criminal. Not a single penny back, no apology. Crying because he got caught out, confidence = lost. Makes me ashamed to be a Labour member. Wish Miles won.
