I am delighted to announce that I will be standing as the Labour Party’s candidate in my home ward of West Hill and North Laine in the upcoming local elections this May.

Nice to see so many YL people standing up for our trans siblings, though it’s time for some more senior voices in the party to take a stand. Empathy and solidarity to all trans people, can’t imagine how scary it is rn when “progressive” politicians are posting things like this.
Some of the comments and retweets on this post are absolutely appalling, especially when directed at young people and U18s trying to get involved in politics. However, I hope every member of
@bh_younglabour
knows I’m proud of them and all we have achieved so far.
40 year old bloke with a wife and kid obsesses over student politics. Completely normal stuff.
Anyway Jack goes out campaigning every week for Labour, trying to create a better country for working people. More than can be said for you, who sits around moaning on Twitter all day.
The new chair of Young Labour is seemingly the son of Gary Lubner, who donated £4.5 million to the party.
I can't help but feel if that was the Tories it would somehow be a major issue for the Guardian, LBC &, dare I say, Young Labour...
We need a whole new party system, & PR.
Doing well in Wellingborough!!!
Great to get out the vote for
@Gvkitchen
in the Wellingborough by-election this evening and work towards gaining another Labour victory!
This campaign has been an unforgettable experience and I’d like to thank all my family and everyone in the local party for supporting me. While I unfortunately didn’t win my seat I’m excited to see our brilliant city grow under the leadership of the amazing
@BellaSankey
I’m pleased to announce that I am standing for the Young Fabians National Executive Election! I want the YFs to have a much further outreach than London and am standing because I want events to happen across the country.
As a young person, I quite often worry about never being able to buy my own home.
The Green Party seem to utterly obsessed with making that fear a reality.
Kier Starmer is a danger ⛔️
Ignoring local opposition is basically like what Conservatives do right now.
He can never be Prime Minister.
We need someone that’s not Kier or Labour in power. Nor do we need the Tories back in.
Proud to have voted for Organise today!And proud to have voted for some of my closest friends and
@bh_younglabour
alumni, who I know will create the change we need and deserve for young members across the country!!!
Very enjoyable and insightful evening last night at
@LabourStudents
FE launch. As someone who did an FE course, I’m very glad Labour Students is creating spaces where we can discuss giving better experiences to young people who do not choose the A-level route.
Since September we have:
- Elected an EC
- Campaigned in a by-election, which was a landslide Labour gain
- More than quadrupled our numbers
- Discussed campaigning with
@WorthingWestCLP
and helped out
@LewesLabour
Well done everyone. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings! 🌹
So proud of
@lundy_li
, she showed me everything there is to know about the Labour Party and is incredibly dedicated and organised when it comes to campaigning. Very excited to be backing her as chair of
@bh_younglabour
!!!
With a General Election looming, the South East could be the make or break in a Labour victory.
With me as Chair of South East Young Labour, we will be ready and organised for that fight ✊🌹
Pledges ⬇️
Really excited to work with
@BellaSankey
to make our city the best it can be! Please give all your votes to Labour on Thursday so we can create some real change!!!
Good luck to all
@UKLabour
candidates standing today. As for us in Brighton, let’s give it one final push to kick the greens out so we can implement the progressive agenda our city so desperately deserves.

Campaign Launch today 🎉
A better bunch of people to work with you would be hard pressed to find ❤️ They are mighty in their passion to make our corner of the world a fair, thriving place for all 🤝
I am beyond lucky to be part of this winning team🌹
“There’s been a win in the SE Young Labour NC election, but for who Chris Kamara?”
“It’s unbelievable Jeff!!!
@lundy_mackenzie
has done it!!! With 27 CLP nominations!!! A true show of dominance from the young Brightonian!!!!”
Delighted to have been elected to
@YoungLabourUK
‘s National Committee, being the only candidate that made the ballot for South East Rep!
Big thank you to all the CLPs that nominated me 🌟
Our politics is truly in the gutter. There are so many people up and down the country who’ve been pushed into poverty by Tory austerity, and these two are chucking around a grand, betting on the fates of the most vulnerable people in our society. Utterly deplorable.
Rishi Sunak has accepted a £1,000 bet from Piers Morgan that deportation flights to Rwanda will be up and running before the General Election.
The full interview is due to be shown on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube channel at 2pm and TalkTV at 8pm on Monday (5 February).
We need a complete rebuild of
@YoungLabourUK
’s relationship with
@YESocialists
. We deny so many members huge opportunities in foreign policy and global politics. I really believe
@RyanBogle7
will do a great job of collaborating with our European neighbours and changing this.
Thrilled to officially launch my campaign to be
@YoungLabourUK
's next International Officer. 🌹
Through rebuilding our relationship with
@YESocialists
, building global collaboration & championing international solidarity, we can build a Young Labour ready for power.

Brilliant work by Bella and
@peterkyle
to call out the negligence of both the green council in Brighton and the home office over this dreadful situation. These children must be found and better protection must be put in place to prevent anymore from going missing.
'136 children have gone missing from a hotel in Hove!'
Councillor Bella Sankey warns 'gangs' are targeting hotels housing vulnerable asylum-seeking children and 'taking them into the criminal underworld.'

@BellaSankey
This was the election that got me interested in politics. This was the campaign that made me want to fight for a fairer and more just country.
But ffs please stop pretending we won, we didn’t, and after being battered in 2019 things are worse than ever for working people.
It's a lie that only centrism is electable.
In 2017, despite sabotage within, Corbyn's Labour won more votes than in 2015, '10, '05 & even '01.
Voters responded to an anti-austerity alternative.
The project to drag Labour back to elite interests comes from above, not below.
The Green Party don’t deserve some sort of monopoly over Brighton Pavilion.
Labour’s plan for clean energy by 2030 is both bold and achievable.
If you want to see how much
@BHGreens
care about the environment then maybe have a look at their last leader’s trip to COP.
Really grateful to everyone who voted for me last night and feel very privileged to have taken over from the wonderful
@lundy_li
. This is a great group of young members and I’m excited to work with them all in creating an even bigger and better BHYL.
As chair of
@bh_younglabour
I know that
@JackLubner
will work hard to organise for
@YoungLabourUK
in order to turn it into the campaigning machine we need before the general election next year.
It was great to join
@LabourStudents
to canvas for
@alistrathern
in Mid Beds today (even if we did get a bit wet!). Spoke to several lifelong tories who’d realised Labour were the only way of getting rid of the conservatives where they lived!
A great turnout from everyone today in Mid Beds for
@alistrathern
Door after door we met lifelong Tory supporters voting Labour for the first time and plenty of Lib Dems switchers who’ve realised only Labour can deliver a historic victory here🌹
Have read through the Cass review and it’s back of a fag packet stuff that uses out of date ideas on gender identity. Labour is the party of equality and social justice and I know for a fact that me and many other members will not stand by in the face of this discrimination.
The Cass Review must be a watershed moment for the NHS’s gender identity services.
My response for
@UKLabour
underlining our support for the Cass Review’s evidence-led recommendations and our determination to put children’s health and wellbeing above the political fray 👇🏻
This was the right decision. However, I feel awful for the friends and family of Tony Lloyd as well as scared for the Jewish community, now that there’s a real prospect of that anti-Semitic bigot George Galloway getting a platform in Parliament again.
Great day out in Hastings earlier today campaigning for the wonderful
@helenadollimore
and
@JamesMT75
!!! People excited to vote for change locally on May 2nd and to show Rishi Sunak that the country is ready for a Labour government!!!
A very warm welcome to the seven new Labour Students societies established in the last few months!
Across the country Labour Students is growing everyday, if you haven’t got a Labour society on your campus get in touch with us today!
Brighton and Hove Young Labour are pleased and proud to have unanimously endorsed and nominated the
@Organise24
slate for the Young Labour National Committee Elections!!!
I want the YFs to be a kind and caring place, with the potential to shape the careers of young people in politics, and I believe that my promises and the events I want to create will reflect that. Therefore when ballots drop on 22nd April, I hope you’ll

Very excited to have helped set this up. Please come along if you are able to, we have some brilliant young candidates who would make great councillors. Should be a great day.

So much energy in Hastings and Rye today.
As MP
@helenadollimore
will join a Labour team delivering the decade of national renewal coastal towns so desperately need.
So proud of
@catarnold_
. She’s been a community champion within EW&S and is by far the best potential candidate Labour can have to represent the constituency. I’m looking forward to working on her campaign and securing a labour victory in EW&S for the first time!!!
The fact that the gov have tried to filibuster this bill is appalling. Conversion therapy is abuse and the longer it takes to ban this practice the more young people are put in peril.
Grateful to
@lloyd_rm
for this bill however, and am proud to live in a city where he’s an MP.
Today with colleagues from across the House I voted for
@lloydrussellmp
Bill to ban the heinous practice of conversion therapy.
A Bill that has long been promised by the Gov but these promises have continually been broken.
Today we tried. We will keep trying 💪🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Really proud of the fact that our city is somewhere where so many people feel that they can be themselves and are free from discrimination! B&H is a city of sanctuary and I’m grateful that when I moved here 4 years ago it was so accepting and unlike anywhere else I’d ever known.
In the words of Tony Benn: “If you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system”. This may set a dangerous precedent of Prime Ministers appointing whoever they fancy via the HoL, without the public having a direct say in who runs the country.
Bit late to the party, but am proud to endorse
@RubyHSimpson
campaign to become chair of East Midlands Young Labour. She’s a dedicated campaigner who’s exceptionally intelligent and a great organiser.
Another year, another pizza night with
@bh_younglabour

Come join us to chat all things politics… This will be the perfect event for any newbie Young Labour members.
📅 23rd February from 6pm
📍99 Church Rd, Hove
🍕 Free pizza & refreshments
Really pleased that
@LeslieAlan
and
@bhlabour
have answered my public question and reaffirmed the city council’s commitment to protecting transgender and non-binary people and keeping Brighton and Hove a city of sanctuary.
.
@tomchatfield18
Given the rising numbers in hate crimes to transgender and non-binary people and bearing in mind the Government's anti-trans rhetoric; how will this administration commit itself to trans inclusion and keeping Brighton and Hove a city of sanctuary for all
Awful to hear that one of my fellow Labour candidates has been subjected to such abuse. I hope that Brighton and Hove Green Party will deal with their candidate accordingly.
I’m standing with Ruby and Issy to reenergise Labour Students ✨
As a gay black man I understand it’s critical to have a Lab Gov and Lab Students that supports and fights for those that need it most 🌹
This is how we’ll do it ⬇️
“We should not be having anyone in a small boat risking their life trying to come to the UK”
Labour’s Emily Thornberry says the government should be focussed on “smashing the gangs” to stop the boats rather than pushing forward with Rwandan policy
#bbqt
"Yeah I smoked dope."
After Keir Starmer dodged the question nine times, Emily Thornberry doesn't flinch when asked by
@NickFerrariLBC
about past drug use.
I'm standing to be your next Labour Students Trans Officer.
At a time of rising hate crime and political vitriol, it is more important than ever that we have a vocal student movement within Labour fighting for our rights.
Here are my priorities for delivering that... 🧵
Really excited to see a pledge to establish Labour clubs in every university as many have been neglected for far too long. Am also proud to back
@issywaite66
as Secretary of Labour Students and know she will do an amazing job!
I’m standing alongside Ruby and Lewis to energise our movement going into the general election 🌹
As Chair of a newly established Labour club, I know the important role that students play in our party.
Here’s what we’ll do to support students across the country ⬇️
I’m excited to be standing for the Young Fabians exec this year! 🐢
I have loved my roles as Secretary of both
@SEYoungFabians
&
@youngfabiansu19
where I have organised panel events, campaign days and trips to parliament.
Finally!!! The situation in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis in which there has been unfathomable suffering. I’m glad that our party is united in its call to protect innocent lives and end the bloodshed.
The way that our city’s basic services have been neglected is unforgivable.
#VoteLabour
on the 4th May to clean up this mess and show the Greens the door.
Great day campaigning for
@sarahsackman
today in Finchley. So great to meet loads of new people and canvas somewhere other than Brighton and Hove for a change!!!
Massive congratulations to
@alistrathern
and well done to our very own
@peterkyle
for running such a brilliant campaign. Victories like this and Tamworth show that it’s possible for Labour to win anywhere, bring on the general!!!
Had a great time! Canvassing for London Mayoral elections was an interesting change of pace from canvassing for the usual general/locals. Pub quiz was good as well, even if some of our team’s answers weren’t!!!
City Labour Students x Islington South & Finsbury Young Labour Canvass and Pub Quiz with Emily Thornberry 🌹🌟
Thank you to everyone who came, it was a very fun evening having you all with us!
The comments under this post are fucking disgusting.
While I’m glad
@MrTomGray
won, I wouldn’t wish the abuse
@eddieizzard
got throughout the campaign on my worst enemy.
Very proud of
@lundy_li
. One of my closest friends and someone who I know for a fact would make an excellent councillor. I’m very excited to campaign for her,
@benphilipsborn
and
@warrenmorgan
in the upcoming months.
I am excited to announce that I will be standing as a Labour candidate, alongside
@warrenmorgan
and
@benphilipsborn
, for the new ward of Westdene & Hove Park in the upcoming Brighton & Hove City Council elections! 🌹
Seriously Mark? Not sure
@issywaite66
was trying to being so black and white. Yes, we must protest when necessary, but public service is once again at the heart of what our party does and it is imperative we focus on actually helping working people and not just shouting about it.
Would like to say a massive thank you to
@JedNovick
for having me on The Brighton Whistler podcast. We had a fantastic discussion about the problems facing North Laines and why you should vote Labour. Listen here:
With ballots dropping in the morning, I’m launching my fifth and final pledge: Safeguarding Training
Looking after our members’ welfare is our most important responsibility
Training for YL committees will give them the knowledge & tools they need
Let’s Rebuild Young Labour
The whole thing feels quite 19th century but then I suppose that’s clearly where this government wants to take us with their views on the rights of refugees, workers, the homeless, LGBTQ+ people and everyone else they’ve screwed over in the past 13 years.
Brighton & Hove’s Labour Council is proposing to move to a new system of democratic governance.
The proposals would see the council move from a Committee system to a Cabinet system.

An absolute legend who has so far excelled in his brief on Brighton and Hove City Council. Would be a crime for him or
