It makes me so angry that societal norms dictate we owe Boris Johnson some form of compassion and sympathy over his illness but over 900 people dead in a day is somehow considered meaningless and doesn’t warrant Government scrutiny.

Britain is stuck thanks to a succession of Tory governments. As leader of the Labour Party, I’m focused on getting us into power. Only then can we deliver the change that trade unions and working people want and need.

Among the craziest things I’ve seen is like giving an hour notice to bomb a building is some act of charity and makes it fine, like no?!?!? People’s homes will still be gone, so will be most of their possessions, nobody would be ok with that?!!?

This suggests that trans teens should be screened for autism/ADHD, trying to frame trans identities as linked to 'mental illness' in some form, and, linked with the 'can't make decision until 25' point, also pushes lack of agency for neurodiverse people

Labour people can't even be mad at this because they made their own bed. You can't argue with the examples Owen highlights, because it is just the truth. People WILL quickly become disillusioned with a Lab gov, the far right WILL be there to capitalise, if there's no alternatives

Really feels like the post-war settlement on human rights is collapsing in front of our eyes. From the tearing up of the refugee convention to shrugging at what has been considered war crimes, ethnic cleansing attempts etc. Universality is over.

The problem with the whole COVID ‘personal responsibility’ framing is that it’s an excuse for the government to not provide any further assistance to those ill or isolating - and that should be a cause for concern for us regardless of our feelings on ‘freedoms’

Deportation is still Labour Party policy by the way, the best we got is a review into some of the most notorious detention centres, but Labour has never brought itself to call for a stop of immigration enforcement - which means deportation

It’s not surprising that the Tories are doubling down on anti migrant hate as they need distraction from their economic failures; but for Labour to wade in the same way when they’re plenty ahead in the polls shows they really also *mean it*; not just a strategic calculation

Would genuinely quite like to understand the reasoning behind Labour focusing on more police, when there's been scandal after scandal that involved the police's behaviour. Do they just bank on ppl impacted/care about this have nowhere else to go than Labour?

The Tories’ soft approach to crime lets criminals off the hook and lets victims down. Labour would make offenders pay back to communities and tackle antisocial behaviour with police hubs in every area.

Undercover cops in clubs means I can't stop thinking about how it was quite common in my Uni days that men would turn up to parties at 5am stone cold sober to 'pick up the leftovers', aka often drunk women, to have sex with and how that is sth I can totally see replicated.

Met someone once who had a non-British husband. Had their visa denied. Sought help from the local MP Joan Ryan. She told the woman that “she’s met many girls like her” who would be exploited by men for a visa. Shocking. The person of course was livid

The fact Ian Austin and Joan Ryan prefer a hard right government that wants to introduce an Australian style immigration system (ie. very racist) over a democratic socialist one shouldn't surprise anyone. It's simple. They're not left wing.

It's my unpopular hill to die on, but that migrants should just indefinitely continue to sacrifice their social relations with friends/family abroad for 'the greater good' of the British nation, whilst being treated as second class citzens here, is not acceptable to me.

Good to see RLB use Tribune for her proper launch article. As I've said previously, using left media is a good way to reach your core supporter base (first step of the campaign is to energise them!) & it helps build left media, big outlets will cover news

Another three dimensional chess move for Labour's galaxy brain strategy: launch your local election effort under the slogan 'Vote Labour to support nurses' but then argue that you only want to give a payrise marginally better than the Tories and that's all they deserve.

MPs are people with enormous power over everyone’s lives, they’re not the same as your mate from school who votes tory and who you’d be welcoming if he changed his mind eventually!! If you voted with the Tory whip 24hrs ago, you’ve been actively making people’s lives worse!!
