Great to have Bridget Phillipson, Minister for Women and Equalities and Chair of the Labour Party, out knocking doors yesterday evening.
Hope was in the air as we spoke to hundreds of voters about the by-election here in Holborn and St Pancras.
Would you rather:
A. Create jobs to enable 3500 scots to put food on the table.
B. Lecture the country on how important climate change is.
Zack Polanski chooses B.
Zack does not represent working people.
This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat.
Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & knowing that it won't make a difference to bills in the UK.
We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses.
Whoever made the Northern line go to a standstill via signal failure on my way to Holborn & St Pancras Canvassing I hope both sides of your pillow are warm. 🫠
If I didn’t see you campaigning even once during the local elections in Camden, it’s probably best you don’t message me asking for help to run in Holborn and St Pancras 😬🙃
Fantastic Labour NEC results for @labtowin - all 4 of our great incumbent CLP reps re-elected, only the second time in recent decades that moderates have won a plurality of votes. Labour to Win 4 seats, Mainstream (soft left) 2, Momentum 2 (their lowest ever), Restoration 1: https://t.co/h74KqiFDjV
NEW: Labour NEC results are in
Labour to Win (right) got all four of its candidates elected, so claims a "decisive win"
Mainstream (soft left) got two of its three
CLGA (left) got two of its three
Plus Restoration (Blue-ish, 'class-first' politics) got Andrew Achilleos on
It's a proportional voting system so mixed results are inevitable
Labour to Win also did well in winning youth, Welsh and local gov reps
