Save #Varndean Playing Fields. Huge Tory cuts have meant a 25% funding fall for the College since 2011 but development plans are only a short term fix. Varndean needs full funding by Government and to keep its playing fields for students & the community https://t.co/FDMs9A8Eq8

Find out about #Brighton #Hove's Planning Committee & how to contact the councillors who will decide if #Varndean playing fields are lost forever to the many in our community, to become a high cost housing development for the few https://t.co/gem3VkqoyZ

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

#Brighton #Hove City Council will decide on #Varndean College planning application BH2017/03676 by Monday 26/2/18. Submit objections to the plan to develop high cost houses on local playing fields - https://t.co/7MN6ShzEzg Read more at https://t.co/U1AEEMkqL0

#Labour is determined to save #Varndean playing fields with #Withdean, @PatchamLabour @PrestonParkLab members campaigning across the local community, and strong support from @PavilionLabour. Latest @brightonargus report - https://t.co/jstbKx7kqB

Not especially arranged - just an average night at #PrestonPark under the #RailFail of Tory privatisation. All trains delayed or cancelled. Even trains only coming one stop from #Brighton were delayed. Returning our railways to public ownership can't come a moment too soon here.

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

More smiles from our campaigners reflecting the incredibly high level of support for #Labour's policy of rail public ownership from #PrestonPark passengers. It is only a matter of time now and the Tories' privatisation #RailFail will be history. Vote Labour for public rail!

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

Thanks to everyone who pledged their support for #Labour's rail public ownership plan at #Preston Park station yesterday. Great level of support for rail public ownership to end the Tories' privatisation #RailFail.

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

More happy faces with #PrestonPark passengers delighted to hear that #Labour is pledged to cap future fare increases and reinvest rail profits in train services. In public ownership, rail will put passengers before profit, unlike the Tories' privatisation #RalilFail

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

Knowing that the next #Labour Government is determined to bring rail into public ownership perked-up everyone at #PrestonPark last night. There'll be no more of those glum faces once we end the daylight robbery of rip-off fares and Tory privatisation #RailFail

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

Thanks to everyone who signed #Labour's rail public ownership pledge. With such widespread support from #PrestonPark commuters, we'll be giving you another chance to sign sometime soon. Together we can end the Tories' privatisation #RailFail

[PavilionYouth @pavilion_youth]

Back out at #Brighton station tonight with @RegencyLabour @PavilionLabour. Typical day of delays & cancellations adding to fare hike, means Tory #RailFail for all passengers. Everyone supporting #Labour's public ownership pledge.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

My day of campaigning has been interrupted by a broken down train on the recently bailed-out Virgin East Coast on the same day fares are hiked by 3.6%. Let’s take our railway back into public ownership!

[Laura Pidcock @LauraPidcock]

Another big fare rise for rail travellers: 3.6%, the highest in 5 years. On overcrowded, ageing stock, with less staff & lower safety standards. Privatisation is the problem, not the answer. @UKLabour will bring rail franchises back into public ownership as they expire. #RailFail

[PavilionYouth @pavilion_youth]

We join #Brighton passengers, workers & voters angry at today's #rail price hike. Tory privatisation has brought nothing but #RailFail. Students & young people need public ownership & #Labour's policy of capped fare increases or we'll never be able to afford a train ticket.

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

Commuter's voice on #rail price hike: "I daren't look, it's like a mortgage. If it all worked, I'd put up with it... but it's not working now." Time to ditch the Tories' #RailFail. Private rail has never worked. Public ownership now! https://t.co/RhTqkpiXzY

[Withdean Labour @WithdeanLabour]

Thanks to all the commuters who welcomed us at #PrestonPark station this morning. Privatisation #RailFail & 32% fare rise under Tories very much unwelcome.

[Labour Press @labourpress]

As passengers today face the steepest rail fare hike in 5 years, Labour analysis reveals that the average commuter will now be paying £2,888 for their season ticket, £694 more than in 2010. #RailFail https://t.co/cVaawj8zfj

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Today, the Tory Government and private train companies are putting up your rail fares by 3.6%. The steepest hike in 5 years.

The next Labour government will bring our railways into public ownership to work for the many, not the few. #RailFail

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

In 2018, Labour will show how the old political consensus is finished.

The hope of a new Britain run in the interests of the many, not the few, is closer than ever before.
