It has been a blast East Mids repping these past 6 months. Particular shoutout to exec for organising a travel fund with a literal weekends notice, breaking down the financial barrier so that everyone can campaign- an incredible achievement. More to come!

Labour must stand for full self identification. Willow has fantastically summarised the problems with the Cass report and why the party must reject it. Solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️

1/ The Labour Party should stand on the side of marginalised groups, even when politically inconvenient. That means not uncritically engaging with reports with questionable methodology, especially where doing so threatens the dignity and health of so many vulnerable people.

It has been a pleasure to lead NLS as Co-Chair and it is touching to be endorsed by them along with the rest of the fantastic Organise slate. I cannot wait to work with them as East Mids rep, though sadly I might have to lose the jumper at that point.

I generally try to keep focused on the East Midlands but Sunak’s comments at PMQs today just beg the question whether there is anything that party won’t resort to.

Utterly appalling and disgusting behaviour from our PM. Betting on the inhumane Rwanda policy one moment, cracking horrendous jokes in front of a grieving mother the next. Shameful.

- fight for us on key issues like student loan repayment, affordable rents and full gender self- ID. A vote for me is a vote to do everything we can to get a Labour government, and then hold it to account to deliver truly radical change.

Fantastic news for West Yorkshire. One of the best things about Labour's plans for government is regional devolution- putting local services back in local control. If elected East Mids Rep, Labour Students will be at the forefront of local as well as national campaigns.

Connor is a welcoming, fiendishly clever Fabian and Labour member who will help get the Young Fabian’s up and running again. If you are a Fabian in the East Midlands (or anywhere else) your East Midlands rep heartily recommends voting for him!

I’m excited to share that I’m running for the Young Fabians Executive Committee. As someone from a working-class background, I understand how intimidating politics and policy can be. The Young Fabians helped me overcome that and now I’m running to empower others to do the same.

@OliverMousley Absolute madness- especially given that any time the telegraphs mad views get challenged they plead freedom of speech, but when it comes to literally giving people their human rights they think it’s something to be ashamed of.

Great to attend and speak at the Stop the Cuts Campaign last night. Labour has a plan to stop the cruel Austerity of the Tory party by giving local government the power it deserves. Let’s organise for that Labour government. Let’s organise to stop the cuts.
