Al Carns: How Labour can win again
What is the point of Labour if it does not represent Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley, Swansea and Aberdeen? What is the point of the Labour Party if it cannot replace despair and frustration with hope, stability and purpose? The party was founded to give ordinary working people security, dignity and bargaining power over their lives.
That is exactly what I believe, and it must be our mission again. We do not need more slogans, strategies, press releases or commissions. We need action.
People in this country do not expect perfection. But they do expect seriousness. They expect stability and fairness. And they expect a government that is on their side. That is what Labour must be again. It is how Labour defeats Nigel Farage. And it is how Britain recovers.

@BenjaminOCall Saddak has given Garretts Green the representation it deserves over the past 8 years and will continue to work incredibly hard for the area no doubt
Good to be back in Brum for the Great Birmingham Run this weekend. It was also brilliant to catch up with our fantastic constituency team in, as well as a few friends along the way.
10k in 52:26 wasn’t too shabby for a first try….
Pleasure to attend the National Growth Debate yesterday.
Thought-provoking discussions on how we unlock sustainable growth - including an engaging conversation on the role of sports venues as civic anchors.
Plenty of valuable insights to take forward and apply to Birmingham.
Great experience at Number 10 on Thursday.
Thanks to the PM’s team for inviting us down for an interesting briefing ahead of the upcoming local elections.
🏓#Birmingham's Padel revolution is in full swing.
Sites are coming forward in Stechford, Aston Uni, High Street Deritend & Nechells. The next stop?
102 Floodgate Street.
Transforming disused railway arches will be 4 new courts, wellbeing pods, a booking office & a F&B unit.
Interesting discussion yesterday. Great to see the group shining a spotlight on the harms of social media for men and boys.
For me, sport/physical wellbeing should also be central to any strategy aimed at improving young lads’ lives. Excited to see how this develops.
We owe men growing up in Britain today far better than the toxic views and scams peddled by the Manosphere.
But too often, we see boys as problems in waiting rather than exploring what they need from us.
Great to bring MPs and experts together to discuss how we can do better.
