[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

Support Fraser to build a socialist Labour Students!

[Fraser @comradefraz]

Excited to announce that I’m standing for Chair of Labour Students 🌹

A system that puts metrics before mental health, money before learning and profit before livelihoods has pushed us to breaking point.

Let’s build a socialist Labour Students which leads the fightback 💥

And not before time. This wouldn't have happened without the work of the Joint Trade Unions at Imperial @ImperialUnison @unitetheunion, plus @icunion along with the combined contributions of staff and students.

[UCU @ucu]

It is shameful that @imperialcollege President Alice Gast & Chief Financial Officer Muir Sanderson still remain in post after being found to have bullied staff & treated them with such disrespect.

Senior management must be held properly to account.

[UCU @ucu]

BREAKING: 68 universities will face up to 10 days of UK wide strikes starting in February

There is still time to prevent disruption, but employers need to drop their pension cuts & take long-overdue action on pay & conditions

[Young Labour @YoungLabourUK]

Solidarity to @ucu workers on strike today until Friday ✊

Staff have been pushed to breaking point by attacks on pay, conditions and casualisation.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

University staff have had pensions cut by 35%, pay cut by 20% in just over a decade, and are increasingly forced onto exploitative precarious contracts.

But today they're fighting back.

Solidarity to @UCU members on strike at universities across the country today ✊🏽

[Imperial College RCP @ic_communists]

Comrades we're at the picket line this morning. Victory to the united workers and students! ✊

[Royal College of Art UCU ✊ @RcaUcu]

Join #RCAstrike Architecture staff at the Kensington picket line on Tues 12 Oct for a teach-out & walk that will cross London, touching on sites of worker organising from the C17th to date. #teachout @RCAStudentUnion

[ITV News @itvnews]

Victims of two separate attacks describe how they were set upon and left needing surgery as an @EVR_ESEA study shared with ITV News found reported crimes rose nearly 50% in two years https://t.co/xFmmMERf0p

[Gravel Institute @GravelInstitute]

To whoever hacked Facebook: are you familiar with something called "student loan companies"?

"Where Labour Students of the past built careers, [the new labour students] would build socialist labour clubs, staff-student solidarity and the campaign for free education" 🙌🏼

[Fraser @comradefraz]

After years of campaigning and months of negotiation by me, @nabeelamowlana, Micaela, @gembolton & @lara_eleanor Labour’s NEC will propose a democratic student wing elected by student members to Labour conference.

This is a historic victory for student members and democracy 🧵

[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

Takes an incredible amount of incompetence to accidentally screenshot old tweets, open a disciplinary case against the chair of your youth wing, send a whole written email with said screenshots to said chair.

David Evans isn't fit to run a discord server let alone a party!

[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

Solidarity with @JessicaLBarnard. It's not her who needs to be expunged from the Labour Party, it's the bigots running the disciplinary procedures and the leadership that allows transphobia and racism to fester.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is not a joke, but deadly serious.

The Labour Party have officially placed @YoungLabour chair @JessicaLBarnard under investigation - for opposing transphobia.

Here is her letter sent to NEC members - passed to me - and here are the tweets she’s being investigated for.

[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

"Palestinian liberation is the cause of all oppressed people" 🙌🏼

[Young Labour @YoungLabourUK]

We are proud to be bringing this motion to Labour Party conference committing the Party to stand in solidarity with Palestine and support the campaign for the boycott, divestment and sanctioning of Israel.

The cause of Palestinian liberation is our cause as socialists 🇵🇸

[Ronan Burtenshaw @ronanburtenshaw]

Young Labour doesn’t ‘purport’ to be Labour’s youth wing – its committee is the democratically-elected representative of the party’s young members.

Those young members aren’t prepared to cheerlead wars and neoliberalism, so Luke wants them shut up. That’s all this is about.

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

We promised to deliver an autonomous democratic @YoungLabourUK equipped to organise in every community.

In response the leadership undermine us while british journalists libel us. Enough is enough

Join the fight back, sign our petition and lets organise

[Lara McNeill @lara_eleanor]

@lukeakehurst Thing is those things aren’t mutually exclusive of course - people have to campaign for something & you hold a different view when it comes to NOLS out batting for remain after the referendum. YL have no desire to trash the party’s electoral prospects, that’s just a fact

[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

How old are you? Who's "we"? Stop interfering with the youth wing.

The political expression of young Labour members has nothing to do with people who are far too old to even be members of it.

[Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst]

We need a Young Labour that is loyal to Labour, not Momentum.

[Imperial Labour Society @ICLabour]

Labour needs to start treating it's next generation with respect and dignity if it's going to ever have any hope of creating a lasting legacy.

Young members have had enough of being attacked by our own party - sign this petition!

[Fraser @comradefraz]

Since our election as @YoungLabourUK committee @UKLabour leadership & HQ have worked to undermine us - cancelling our youth conference, blocking our conference events & suppressing our solidarity with Palestine.
