Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.
Join us. The time is now.

An OG told me once: They don’t respect you at the bottom, they ignore you in the middle, and they hate you at the top. You’ll never have everyone’s approval. So it’s best to just focus on what you’re doing.
15/ And when they are eventually given a place somewhere, who is going to help Child A and Child B catch up on all the learning they have missed out on in this time – particularly Child B, just before her GCSEs?
14/ and the colleges in Peterborough say “sorry we are full”. A 16 year old girl is trying to look after her entire family with no support. If I wasn’t involved and chasing this, who would be helping them?
13/ These children have been failed on all accounts. The school has washed their hands off them and says “sorry we don’t have time”, the social worker can’t even be bothered to suggest the right institutions let alone help a family who can’t speak English fill out a form,
12/ I have written to Haringey council repeatedly since 18th July. Nothing has been done. Three children who WANT to learn, and WANT to be in school, are currently out of education.
11/ No one between Haringey council, the old school, and the social worker, have checked or chased why this child is not in school – especially at such a crucial point of her education.
Child C has also not been given a school place.
10/ So far, they have all declined to offer Child A a place.
Child B should be in Year 11 now, about to sit her GCSEs in less than a year. She has not been given a place at a school yet either.
9/ The social worker had not even bothered to check whether the colleges she was suggesting were for the right age group.
I started researching other nearby sixth forms and colleges yesterday and phoned them all, explaining the extenuating circumstances.
8/ I started to contact the colleges myself to speed up the process and to ensure Child A doesn’t fall too behind. The first college said they were full. I phoned the other two colleges suggested by the social worker. They are for students aged 19+, and to study hair and beauty.
7/ The social worker gave Child A the names of three new colleges to apply to in her new area. She said Child A’s old school should help her to fill out the application forms. Child A is not a student of the old school anymore - so they said they were too busy to help.
