The growing rebirth of trade unionism is giving ordinary working people the political and intellectual confidence to stand up for themselves.

Labour councillors must support them as we fight together for the hope of a finer, fairer Britain.

The hyper-factionalism that has captured the Labour Party has caused huge damage.

This is why we have come together to campaign to restore party democracy and our historic pluralism, and by returning Labour to our roots, put us back on a path to regain public confidence.

[Jumbo Chan @JumboChan]

Labour’s founders foresaw over a century ago that our party would only succeed if it reflected the broadest traditions of British socialism and the working class.

After tomorrow, I will be working hard to restore our historic pluralism, and continue arguing for socialist ideas.

[Jumbo Chan @JumboChan]

After serving as a Labour councillor for over a decade, I have been blocked the party’s NEC from restanding tomorrow because of my role in co-authoring a pro-trade union open letter, and coordinating hundreds of Labour colleagues urging Starmer to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The hyper-factionalism which has underscored Starmer’s leadership has created a profound danger of Labour transmuting into an institution dominated by what I would call the NPC politician, a phenomenon which I have detailed for @LabourHub

"We can stop a fish and chip shop opening next to a school, but not an Adult Gaming Centre next to a homeless shelter."

Our Harlesden councillors spoke to the @GR_APPG about the powers councils and communities need to have a say over their high streets 👇

[Brent Labour @BrentLabour]

We're in Parliament today, giving evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Gambling Reform on the powers local councils need to say no to excessive gambling operators.

Councils like Brent are bound by legislation which aims to permit, rather than protect.

📢 Stop Gambling with Our Lives

Brent Council is calling on the Government to undertake urgent reforms of gambling legislation, protecting our most vulnerable residents and keeping our high streets healthy and safe.

We promised to crack down on gambling harms - and we meant it.

WE WON!

Beyond proud of the hundreds of GMB members at Medirest who stood together and demanded equal pay and conditions.

Now they’ve just won huge improvements to their pay and terms at LNWH, including parity of pay which delivers an up to *25%* pay rise for the lowest paid.

[Mili Patel @MiliKPatel]

Alongside my #Harlesden and #KensalGreen co-councillors @mattkelcher & @JumboChan I am determined to block plans to open yet another "high street casino" along Park Parade. A short thread updating residents on our campaign and how they can get involved (1/4)

[Harlesden Police @MPSHarlesden]

#HarlesdenTCT along with local councillor’s @mattkelcher @MiliKPatel @JumboChan, residents & Design Out Crime have successfully argued against the opening of a #casino in Park Parade due to negative impact it would have on the area #Harlesden @MPSBrent

[Cllr Matt Kelcher @mattkelcher]

Delighted that @BrentLabour is delivering a fantastic new playground for Roundwood Park. @MiliKPatel @JumboChan and I braved the rain this morning to get a sneak preview of the new equipment which includes sensory facilities plus those for disabled people #Harlesden #KensalGreen

[Jumbo Chan @JumboChan]

Indeed, hundreds of Labour councillors from across the country are offering @RMTunion, @CWUnews, @unitetheunion and many other trade unions taking action our full solidarity and support, on the picket line and elsewhere.

Thank you so much for your support.

Just heard the results while organising to fight the cost of living crisis at a branch meeting and that’s what I’ll keep doing.

Members are the beating heart of our party and we demand policies to transform peoples lives. Let’s fight for it.

[Gemma Bolton @gembolton]

A huge thank you to Labour members for re-electing me to the NEC and congratulations to all candidates elected!

Here's to the next two years of fighting for socialism!🌹✊
