Northern England Labour Left

Our aim is to organise and develop the Labour Left in Northern England to elect genuine socialists at all levels within the Party, unions, and public office.

I can’t express how angry I am at the vandalism of the tree at #SycamoreGap.

People have had their ashes scattered there. People have proposed there. I’ve picnicked there with my wife and kids. It’s part of our collective soul.

We must bring whoever did this to justice.

I’ve always worked cross party to get things done. It’s how I successfully negotiated with Tory ministers to get our £4.3b North East devolution deal. I’m in London today at the All Party Parliamentary Group with @KateOsborneMP discussing how we unlock the #NorthEast’s potential.

The #DurhamMinersGala is the community speaking to its traditions. The trade union movement looks stronger than it has for years.

But just 6% of the public trust our political system. We need to decide our future here in the #NorthEast not Westminster. 👉https://t.co/mnGvK08ysT

Just brilliant. Watch closely.

[Jamie Driscoll @JamieDriscollNE]

Thanks so much to Chopwell and Rowlands Gill Labour Branch for their support.

Thanks to @PccJoyAllen and the team for coming to the Town Council this evening to spread awareness of Anti Social Behaviour and how to report it

[Institute of Employment Rights @IERUK]

With special guest, @MayorJD.

This Friday, the IER alongside @ctufevents will be holding our annual Eve of Gala rally. It’s always an important & lively meeting & the perfect curtain-raiser to the #BigMeeting. Details on our FB page here: https://t.co/mAWCaOJNJ0 Don’t miss it.

17 months ago I submitted an appeal against my wrongful expulsion from @UKLabour, through the processes set out in their rule book. Today I was told that my appeal will not be heard.

I am relieved this horrible chapter is now closed. The party no longer represents my values.

[Councillor Holly Waddell @h0llywaddell]

Free school meals were a lifeline for me and my family growing up.

Eligibility criteria is a pointless barrier excluding many in need.

Rolling FSM out universally would remove the stigma and no child would be left hungry.

It’s basic, and common sense.

[Jamie Driscoll @JamieDriscollNE]

Thanks for inviting me today @NEUnorthern.

My son Leon once said to me “Get the education system right, and in a couple of generations, everything else will sort itself out”. 14 years old and nailed it!

Thank you teachers for all you do. Education is the bedrock of society.

The Rebel Town Festival in Jarrow is a important celebration of our trade union heritage. I’ll be joining some great speakers at 11am at the start of the march.

After the march and speakers, join me at the Irish Centre in Newcastle. Sign up on Eventbrite https://t.co/ADtc2rLxqJ

The shortlist for #NEMayor will be no surprise. There’s no doubt that @MayorJD would have easily made it, allowing 15k Party members to make the final choice in a fair and democratic process. Join us in making our protest heard and sign this open letter https://t.co/OSLdXfTqhg

[People for Jamie Driscoll @People4JD]

FINAL COUNT - 50% of NE CLPs return no nominations for @UKLabour #NEMayor selections. 8 in active protest against @mayorjd exclusion. 3 not even meeting. Some of the 11 making nominations saw bullying and threats of disciplinary action leading to member walkouts. #Justice4Jamie

[People for Jamie Driscoll @People4JD]

NEWS - Newcastle Central CLP decide on making NO nominations. That's 8 so far with 3 others deciding not to meet. The maths isn't complicated

[Jamie Driscoll @JamieDriscollNE]

Devolution is about making decisions here. Why are people in London @UKLabour HQ taking me out? Why don’t we let local members choose their candidate?

The North East needs someone who’ll put region ahead of Party.

Here’s my @BBCNEandCumbria #PoliticsNorth interview.

[People for Jamie Driscoll @People4JD]

@JennyChapman admits that the @UKLabour Leadership deliberately excluded Jamie Driscoll to get their chosen candidate. Keir Starmer is appointing a puppet whose loyalty is to London Labour HQ and not to the people of the North East.

[Councillor Holly Waddell @h0llywaddell]

This morning on #politicsnorth Shadow cabinet member @JennyChapman acknowledged the @UKLabour mayoral candidate selection not a fair process and was always about the leadership choosing a preferred candidate.

[Jamie Driscoll @JamieDriscollNE]

Even the @WashingtonPost, from all the way across the pond, can see this is an injustice.

Their motto? ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’
