🏆 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 🌹

[Momentum Organisers @MOrganisers]

We're happy that both campaigns were able to unite around the new NCG.

The challenges ahead for Momentum are big but they aren't insurmountable. We can organise and we can win.

We're incredibly optimistic about the next 2 years and hope you're ready to join the fight with us✊

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

We are absolutely delighted to announce the election of our new Co-Chairs, @KateEmilyDove and @HilarySchan, who will lead Momentum in this new era as we build Left power in the Party and support for socialism in the country.

[Sasha @BrimFullOfSasha]

Let's get round the table and talk properly,

With just shy of 60% of the vote, we have a similar democratic mandate to Forward, but we're offering to negotiate on officers in the sake of unity.

Ultimately members voted for a programme, let us deliver it!

[Kate 🕊 @KateEmilyDove]

Momentum needs to unite & face outwards.

In that spirit, we’ve reached out to @YourMMtm with an offer to share power, following our election victory.

But this offer has been rejected, in an attempt to overturn the members’ vote. We can and must do better. ✊

[Nekisa Gholami-Babaahmady @GholamiNekisa]

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!

[Cllr Martin Abrams @Martin_Abrams]

It is more important than ever for the left to unite and have a laser like focus on winning power to defeat neoliberalism and imperialism once and for all.

To achieve that aim we must work together in unity and solidarity but democracy and electoral mandates must be respected.

[Momentum Organisers @MOrganisers]

So we call on @YourMmtm comrades - on the NCG and not - to pull back from the brink.

Let's unite our movement, not divide it.

Let us meet, negotiate - and then get to work.

There's no time to lose.

📢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 🧵

[Momentum Organisers @MOrganisers]

Momentum doesn't have time for these backroom manoeuvres and in-fighting.

Elections to Labour's NEC and youth & student wings open in less than 2⃣ weeks.

Saturday's first NCG meeting must be a moment of unity of purpose, not internal division.

.@SarahWarsamaXxx would have made a brilliant NCG members, but she will continue to be a shining socialist star ⭐️

Solidarity!

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Momentum was created to organize Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters into a socialist force in the Labour Party. But faced with Keir Starmer’s moves to expel the Left, Momentum has retreated from the central political battle in favor of NGO-style campaigning. https://t.co/oOybdLUtFt

[Momentum Organisers @MOrganisers]

The Tories are in chaos. Millions are struggling in a cost-of-living crisis. Workers are rising up.

Yet the socialist Left in Britain is struggling.

@MjjHollinshead in @jacobin on where Momentum went wrong, and our post-election plan to fix it 🌹

Paula has been doing fantastic work as a socialist councillor in Oxford, a shining example of how the Labour Left & social movements can work together 💫

We will look to roll out the @MomentumOx success story Paula outlines here nationwide!

[Momentum Organisers @MOrganisers]

Sam would have made a brilliant NCG member, with a brilliant track record standing up for care workers, and against police in schools ✊🏻

But he'll continue to be an asset to Momentum as co-chair of @McrMomentum, working with an NCG focused on organising. Solidarity 🌹👊🏻
