A brilliant piece by @LabBeyondCities. ‘A prominent living link to a time when the Labour Party had a clear identity and purpose – something so lacking in the current administration’s ‘mission-led’ blathering and blundering that has categorically failed to inspire the public.’

❗️🌹Eliminating child poverty is a moral obligation for the Labour Party. Thank you, @NadiaWhittomeMP, for supporting the Compass x Momentum x Open Labour conference motion calling for an end to the two-child benefit limit. Labour Party members, you have until 11th September to…

It’s right that the BBC corrected this but what an insanely unacceptable and damaging mistake to make. Not a BBC basher but there has to be higher editorial standards than this

More of our @CompassOffice polling out today! 🧭 This time showing that a majority of the public, like Labour members, want the government to introduce taxes on the wealth of the UK’s richest. There is support in the country for a pro-equality, tax-reforming economic agenda.

In a country as wealthy as the UK, child poverty is a choice. Labour must choose differently. Neil Kinnock is right - it’s time to end the two-child limit. 📢🌹Labour members: send our contemporary motion on child poverty to party conference - docs.google.com/document/d/17B…

206 years ago #OTD workers from across the North West assembled in Manchester to demand political reform. Their peaceful protest was violently suppressed and the Peterloo Massacre took place. There’s something to be said about Peterloo and the state of civil liberties today..

Then why do so many people across the country feel differently, @PreetKGillMP? Labour is going to lose the next election if its MPs genuinely think that “sorry, but everything’s great and you’re wrong, actually!” is something that should be said to the public. I despair!

If your response to ‘doomerism’ is along these lines - “it’s not that bad, actually” - then you need to be able to explain why so many people feel that the country is in a state of decay anyway. “It’s not that bad, actually” isn’t going to work. The elites don’t seem to get it.

#OTD 1945. Election Landslide. Clement Attlee becomes first PM to lead a majority Labour government. Winning a 146 seat majority, he says "It will give heart to all those all the world over who believe in freedom, democracy and social justice" A thread 80 years on👇🏼

🧭🌹 @CompassOffice, @PeoplesMomentum and @OpenLabour are calling for the whip to be restored to the four MPs suspended yesterday - and for a reset with backbenchers, essential if Labour is to deliver a programme capable of defeating the populist right. actionnetwork.org/petitions/rein…

The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:
