Really sad to see some of the replies to this tweet.
Young Labour groups across the country do vital work. Our Young Labour national committee will always encourage members to get involved, not deter them with behaviour like this.
I was proud to represent @YoungLabourUK at conference on my last day on committee.
The Party leadership has routinely ignored Young Labour and their right to democracy & to communicate with members and are trying to silence us and stop us from organising.
Im proud to have been able to stand alongside such incredible candidates and look forward to the next two years working alongside the new committee members and fighting for a properly resourced South East Young Labour group 🌹
🌹❤️THANK YOU! ❤️🌹
I know this is late- have taken a break from social media as I’ve been a bit poorly!!
Just wanted to say how incredibly grateful I am to all those who voted to re-elect me as South East rep on the @YoungLabourUK national committee!
This is not what our movement needs.
We've reached out to YM in good faith. But the only response has been to deny the majority mandate members have given us.
Momentum can't afford more in-fighting. Let's talk!
📢STATEMENT 📢
With a majority of votes & elected seats, Momentum members gave us a mandate to lead.
In pursuit of unity, we reached out to @YourMmtm with an offer to share power & coordinate.
But this offer has been rejected. With 36h to go, we urge YM to reconsider 🧵
🏆 WE'VE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT!!! 🏆
We have won the Momentum NCG elections, with a majority of seats and 55% of the vote!! 🎉
Thank you so much to all our activists & supporters ❤️
Now, with major elections looming, our movement must come together 🌹
Thank you to everyone who nominated me and the @socialist_yl candidates for Labour Students ♥️
Really proud that we’re ahead in nominations but we’ve got much further to go before ballots open on the July 25th! Sign-up here to help with the campaign - https://t.co/sMuvJqQQpe
As a delegate, our critique isn't of conference mobilisation.
It’s about the failure to build an effective delegate election operation in the run up.
NCG poured resources into a failing housing campaign, when we needed all hands on deck to maximise delegate numbers - & we lost.

📢ANNOUNCING: The Momentum Organisers📢
After 2 years of defeat, Momentum must be laser-focused on power & a plan to win it.
These socialists have organised & won in communities, workplaces and for the Labour Left. Now, they're running to put Momentum back on the front foot💪
I’m really proud to be standing for Momentum’s NCG alongside so many wonderful comrades!
Through good organisation we can rebuild the Left!
Momentum members please support the @MOrganisers slate! ✊

I’d be honoured to have your support in that task.
I am proud to be standing with the support of Momentum to fight for a Socialist Future.
Please remember to nominate me in your CLP meetings- you have until the 17th of June! Feel free to message me for any more info :) 6/6
Young Labour must work hand-in-hand with trade unions to organise young workers, provide Young Labour groups with the organising tools and political education to win power in their communities, and stand up socialism, even when the Party leadership won’t. 5/6
