Solidarity with Diane. Reinstate Diane Abbot.

BREAKING 🇨🇴🇵🇸🇮🇱 President and Progressive International Council member Gustavo Petro announces that, from tomorrow, Colombia will break all diplomatic relations with Israel.

Absolutely repugnant.

Follows his comments earlier that Labour was infatuated with race, gender, wokery and greenery

This is shocking! She joined another facebook group after it was revealed how racist and islamophobic it was.

This should worry us all. We can't have this hateful figure as London Mayor.

Vote Sadiq Khan
Vote London Labour

Out on today's Mayday march in London

Thanks to the Russian Reader for highlighting my article about the 'pacifists' who stubbornly ignore the reality of war. therussianreader.com/2024/04/30/257…

Mick Lynch RMT tells #MayDay rally that our movement is not owned by one political party or one faction - we’ll push ANY government for the real change we need

This #MayDay we want a Labour Party which:

🌹adopts a New Deal for Working People going forwards, not back
🌹 commits to a £15ph living wage
🌹 supports striking workers
🌹 runs our public services for people, not profit

Monty Panesar who is standing for George Galloway’s party tells me he wants:

- to scrap ulez
- illegal migrant crackdown and tougher border control
- a referendum on net zero
- says he “doesn’t understand” Nato or Gaza and leaves that to George

On May Day, we stood in solidarity with Palestine, and with people all around the world protesting in the name of peace, justice and humanity. #StopArmingIsrael

General Secretary PCS Union Fran Heathcote tells #MayDay rally that they are taking the first steps in bringing judicial review proceedings against BEIS over arms sales to Israel - and warns Starmer against weakening New Deal commitment for workers

Labour's New Deal for Working People has been constantly eroded since it was first announced by Andy McDonald & Angela Rayner in 2021.

A quick 🧵of every dropped policy.

From what we now know about the Tory mayoral candidate’s membership of racist Facebook groups, many have said she’s unfit for office & certainly unfit to represent our wonderfully diverse city. I agree. We need to stand up for decency in our politics & vote for Sadiq Khan .

A lack of enthusiasm
Could Labour’s large poll lead be masking a fatal weakness in its approach? asks Mike Phipps.

I will be campaigning & voting for Labour at the General Election but by any measure this candidature is absolutely crazy. John McDonnell is one of parliament’s greatest advocates of a #Cease_fire_In_Gaza_Now & he opposed the Iraq War. He deserves the support of every socialist.
