A statement on our future campaigning and canvassing.
Young Labour will no longer campaign, organise or canvass for candidates, Cllrs or MPs who fail to stand by workers, do not respect picket lines and do not support trade unionists right to industrial action:

Christian Wakeford MP should not be admitted to the Labour Party. He has consistently voted against the interests of working-class people; for the £20 universal credit cut, for the Nationality and Borders Bill and for the Police and Crime Bill. Young Labour does not welcome him.

“Israel must dismantle the apartheid system and start treating Palestinians as human beings with equal rights and dignity. Until it does, peace and security will remain a distant prospect for Israelis and Palestinians alike”
Our official new report looks at the decades-long suffering of Palestinians under Israel’s rule. We've concluded that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians throughout Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories amounts to apartheid.

As Israel’s foreign minister during the Gaza War, Tzipi Livni oversaw the massacre of 1,391 Palestinians. According to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, at least 759 were noncombatants. The individuals meeting this war criminal are in no way representative of Young Labour.
It was great meeting with representatives of Young Labour and hearing of their bold opposition to the anti-Semitism that is raising its ugly head. We stand with our brothers in Britain and around the world against these worrying trends

25 is the age that the Tories decided workers are entitled to the National "Living" Wage (which is far lower than the real Living Wage), so of course younger people are gonna need a bit of extra help to meet basic living costs 🙄
