Yesterday we saw the MP for Southport vote to strip away what could be life saving money for pensioners to heat their homes. #Southport deserves better. We don't need anymore MPs blindly following a party leadership. We need someone who will represent the people who live here.

🧵1/3 It’s no secret I left the Labour Party not long ago. The party does not represent the vast majority of people. It is the most toxic space I’ve ever encountered in which lying and backstabbing are seen as things to be rewarded. Any dissenting voice is punished and forced out

This is how Southport responded. A group of around 100 members of the community are repairing damage to the local mosque, seen here rebuilding a wall. St Luke’s Road, last night strewn with rubble and debris, has already been cleared.

Fantastic first @TimeToAssemble_ assembly in Southport tonight. These spaces in which people can engage directly with democracy are so important. Breathe of fresh air away from political party meetings, more real politics that matter and less navel gazing #TimeToAssemble

2/6 Years and years of neoliberal economics not delivering for ordinary people creates the conditions for far right figures to push a narrative that other powerless people are to blame. This is easier than looking at where the real blame lies.

We need to address the housing crisis. The only solution is a mass council house building program. If people have safe affordable housing, they are more likely to succeed #VoteIndependents

Labour government has been in charge 2 minutes, already they have suspended MPs for wanting to make sure kids aren’t driven into poverty. Now they freeze our countries elderly over winter. We need an alternative to this faux socialist party that serves corporate interests.

Demonstrates everything wrong and corrupt with mainstream politics. Democracy is broken. Seats offered for favours. They don’t care about a functioning system they just care about sorting mates

Absolute farce, the @fbunational are the only union clearly representing the firefighters interests. Workers should be able to organise themselves in any and every space available to them. Not a great look an apparent independent trade union undermining workers @leejhunter

Drill nights are valuable training time, not to allow a union to organise itself. All at the taxpayers expense and in plain sight of @fire_scot management. Not a great look when cuts to frontline posts are being discussed due to a lack of funding. @SFRSchair

NEW: Labour's decision not to include the statement “the NHS is not for sale” in its election manifesto, despite the line being in a pre-manifesto offer, has prompted concern on the party's left:

Blue or Red they won’t represent the people of Southport, they will do what their party whips tell them. If people in Southport want someone from here, who will speak for them, not a party more interested in Westminster than here then #VoteIndependent

3/6 The blame lies with those with power, this is obvious. Migrants, didn’t create the lack of social housing, Muslim people didn’t restrict trade unions in their ability to organise, trans people didn’t dismantle the NHS.

🧵 1/5 Starmer’s Labour have shown the country what many of us with experience of the party have known a while. They only care about holding power for the sake of power. They don’t want to fix the NHS, they don’t want to repair our education systems.

6/6 Grievances that the far right leaders will misdirect people’s anger over. Our communities work better when we are a community. Looking after each other and not seeing ourselves in competition for scarce resources. A better world is not only possible. It’s needed. Now

5/6 We solve the issue by addressing people’s basic needs, functioning healthcare, economic opportunity, a democracy that works in favour in of people not corporations, ending hunger. The far right only survive when people have grievances.
