After 41 years I have resigned as leader of Dudley Labour Group...and the Labour Party.
I cannot be true to my principles and condemn the Tory cuts to the most vulnerable and not condemn the Government.
People before Party...Principle before Power!

It’s superb to be in Edinburgh at UNISON Health Group Conference!

Keir Starmer, you have allowed my party, the party of Keir Hardie, Clem Attlee, Aneurin Bevan, Harold Wilson, Barbara Castle, Tony Benn to be dragged into the gutter by Mandelson, McSweeney, Simons & Labour Together. We need an independent inquiry into LT & its influence.
Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.
Someone please explain this to a simple Working Class bloke like myself?
How can you not remember if you received $75k even if 20 years ago?
I still remember which of my mates brought me a pint 40 years ago! (and never dressed just in underpants)! #Mandelson
A absolute disgrace!
Today, via my TV schedule I have been #Jesus#Elf#Spartacus and #PeterPan
3 great fictional characters (allegedly) and one inspiring historical figure!
I now feel totally festive…..Santa is Coming….I know him….I KNOW HIM!
A inspiration for all progressive independents, this is the future of local politics!
Congratulations to all at @broxtoweindys from The Black Country Party!
BOSTIN stuff!
This is what happens when the ‘fleas’ bite back 👇
The Labour Party blocked us all from standing because we spoke out about the Winter Fuel Allowance.
We left
We won
Labour on 11%
@ZackPolanski stating clearly what many of us are thinking! I was a Labour Party member for 41 years and today hang my head in shame at what that party has become! Not in my name!
“This is extreme, this is inhumane, and it is a government of cowards.”
Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, responds to the government's changes to Britain's asylum system.

A alliance of progressive parties is the best way to ensure we can break the grip of Tory, Labour and Reform! Let’s put our communities first! @ZackPolanski! The Black Country Party wants to ensure every voter in Dudley has 1 Anti-Austerity candidate in 2026!
A by election we never wanted to fight due to the unexpected death of our Cllr.
The other progressives such as the @TheGreenParty have stood down to back our candidate 👏
