Red Labour

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

Red Labour believes that all candidates must show their commitment to fighting all forms of racism and would ask candidates for the Leader and Deputy Leadership to support the following pledge. We must show that we do not take the support of our BAME comrades for granted.

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

Congratulations to @RichardBurgon for making it through to the next stage of the Deputy Leadership election. Thanks to all our Red Labour supporters who helped to get Richard over the line. CLP and affiliates nominations next. #Richard4Deputy

Who remembers the Kinnock years? We don't want a return to that and the endless right turns in desperation to get elected. It ended up with people not trusting us. Thanks Gary Dillon for the quote below 👇

On the left, we are particularly disappointed that both @RichardBurgon & @DawnButlerBrent are still short of the PLP nominations to be on the ballot for the Deputy Leadership. Both have stuck by our current leadership & have significant support amongst the membership of the party

[The LRC @LRCinfo]

The LRC are backing @RichardBurgon for Deputy Leader - because he’s consistently advocated for socialism in the party & the movement; because he’s an internationalist & a peace activist. We need him in this debate & we urge members to contact their MPs & MEPs to nominate him.

Keir Starmer today was asked questions about his recruitment of former private healthcare lobbyists & how he can claim to defend the NHS when he hires people who have helped dismantle it. Despite a robust defence of his staff he didn't answer the question: https://t.co/hmHMaQZ0d5

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Here @Keir_Starmer says he ‘won’t tolerate’ comments about his staff relating to an ex healthcare lobbyist working for him

This is a substantive political question in the public interest not ‘abuse’. How is it congruent with saying he’ll ‘save the NHS’?

Democracy, but not as you know it!

.@RichardBurgon is just a few nominations short of being on the ballot paper for Deputy Leader. We’re encouraging @UKLabour members to write to their Labour MP TODAY to ask them to help ensure that Richard is on the ballot. MPs 👉 https://t.co/I0f8l1l7Jf Below is suggested text.

@andyrossecon @chessmartinez @RichardBurgon Unless you’re a peace activist, and maybe a member of CND, like so many of our members, and most of the Labour left historically?

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

.@RichardBurgon would not press the button. That's one reason we're proud to support him. #Richard4Deputy

[Laura Pidcock @LauraPidcock]

Not a single member of the Tory Party voted for this amendment, which would have allowed unaccompanied refugee children to be reunited with their families after Brexit. A moral test that they failed - monstrous behaviour rooted in their callous, hard right dogma. Shame on them.

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

Red Labour are proud to endorse @RichardBurgon for Deputy Leader and here is why:

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

@shanedgj @UKLabour Nope, we certainly didn’t. We’ve been going since 2011, arguing for people to stick in. I have an idea what you’re in about (Hull?) but that was just the name being used, not us. So, no, not the same Red Labour.

Building something different, from the grassroots, is hard work. It doesn’t happen overnight. Sustaining it is even harder, but that's what we are trying to do. Don’t quit. (4/4)

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

Thread: The movement that WE created around @jeremycorbyn was a bottom up, grassroots movement. (1/4)

[Red Labour @Red_Labour_]

But that's not what a bottom up, grassroots movement is about. It’s about more democracy, not less. It’s about making sure we don’t fall back into the old way of doing things. (3/4)
