The hyper-factionalism that has captured the Labour Party has caused huge damage.

This is why we have come together to campaign to restore party democracy and our historic pluralism, and by returning Labour to our roots, put us back on a path to regain public confidence.

Cllr Max Holloway wins his re-election in Welwyn Garden City, beating Reform against all the odds.

A committed socialist who has been targeted multiple times by the Labour right.

Staunchly pro Palestine, anti-austerity and working class.

Starmerites could learn a lesson.

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

A thought or two for any putative Labour leaders going forward.

[Aisha Nicole Malik-Smith @ANMalikSmith]

A simple demand of any aspiring Labour PM: nationalise water.

No need to compensate the shareholders, they've pocketed plenty in dividends already, while soiling our rivers with sewage and leaving infrastructure to leak & decay.

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

Labour is at a turning point.

We're supporting candidates in key internal elections this year who will champion progressive policies and call for a more democratic Party.

Nominate them in your CLPs before 26 June.

Labour’s affiliated unions have been clear that Labour cannot continue on its current path. Whilst we recognise progress has been made, such as aspects of the Employment Rights Act and the increase in the minimum wage, the results at the election last week were devastating. Labour is not doing enough to deliver the change that working people voted for at the General Election. Our focus is on the fundamental change of direction on economic policy and political strategy that unions have been clear is needed, and not on the personalities and unfolding political drama in Westminster.

It’s clear that the Prime Minister will not lead Labour into the next election, and at some stage a plan will have to be put in place for the election of a new Leader. This is a point where the future of the Party we founded will be debated and determined, and we are working closely as unions to shape a shared vision on policy, political strategy and economic policy that will re-orient Labour back to working people, so Labour do what it was elected to do: govern in the interests of workers.

Labour’s affiliated unions are deeply concerned by the Party’s catastrophic election results. They show a stark disconnect between this Labour Government and the working people and communities that it was elected to represent.

Voters right across the country have sent a clear message: that this Government are not delivering on the promised change they so desperately want to see.

This cannot continue. Voters want to see a radical new direction from Labour, that stems the tide of division and unites workers and communities in every part of the country. TULO unions are united in calling for a fundamental change of direction on economic policy and political strategy, so that Labour do what it was elected to do: govern in the interests of workers.
Labour must also deliver the rebalancing of power in the workplace promised in the New Deal for Working People, in full, without any carve-outs or loopholes.

The stakes are too high to continue on this path. Labour’s unions have a responsibility to the Party that we created, and as a result TULO have demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister and Party Leadership to discuss the urgent change in direction that we all know is needed.

As a CLP representative on the NEC @GemBolton has called for a shift away from the approach which has had disastrous consequences in this week's local and devolved elections- she'll be joining this online @Arise_Festival/@TUCGinfo event on Monday: https://t.co/r6cDDxlzQ9

After Starmer’s electoral catastrophe we must turn our attention to Nigel Farage & the extreme right. The clock is ticking & we have got until 2029.

Listen to writer David Renton consider how we Stop Nigel Farage and the Far Right?

On May Day, we celebrate workers in Britain and around the world.

The rights we enjoy today were not handed to us; they were won through collective struggle.

Today we honour trade unionists past and present and recommit to advancing workers' rights. Solidarity!

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

Today, the Renters' Rights Bill comes into effect. It’s a welcome step, but a Labour Government must go further by:

✅ building more council homes
✅ abolishing Right to Buy
✅ introducing rent controls

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Tony Blair’s thinktank urges Labour to scrap ‘unaffordable’ pension triple lock.

2m pensioners live in poverty.

Full post-2016 state pension is received by 35% of retirees, less than 50% of minimum wage.

Silence on taxing the rich, redistribution.

Happy International Workers' Day!

The Labour Left always knew that economic policy would be the achilles heel of a Labour Government led by Starmer and Reeves. Here’s what I wrote for @CLPD_Labour back in 2023. The writing has been on the wall for a long time!

Water is a natural monopoly

There is no competition
There is no choice
There is no market

The privatised water companies have carte blanche to rip us off, we are a guaranteed revenue stream

Bring water into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP - we can't afford not to 👇

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Fergal explaining in under 30 seconds what govt has spent two years telling us is impossible.

From nationalisation we'd then make the transition to a genuinely, publicly owned, mutualised model.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

I have tabled a motion to the Crime and Policing Bill to reject the govts new 'cumulative disruption' protest-curbing powers.

The Conservatives tried and failed to establish these powers in 2023. Labour shouldn't be seeking to do the same.
