The message is clear, solidarity to the

action on the 21st, 23rd & 25th June!
ยกViva Los Trabajadores!
An MP elected as a Tory is now in charge of telling Labour MPs to vote against a government which he was elected for.
Meanwhile the MP for Islington North since 1983, a Labour Party Member still has the whip unjustly suspended.
The hypocrisy in KSโs Labour Party is egregious.
This is really important.
The campaign is on a knife edge, and every conversation on the door will count.
Between now and July 4th, come and join a canvas, help to make history.
Everyone out for

Jeremy Corbynโs election is not a walkover, itโs on a knife edge.
That means you can make the difference if you come and help.
The entire election in Islington North hinges on speaking to voters personally:
Out with
@davidjrosenberg
and
@jeremycorbyn
today on the streets of Islington North.
Just nothing but love and solidarity to two pillars of the Labour Movement, who just mean so much to me.
A tremendous day, and a really important campaign to be part of.

When the Cumbrian floods struck in 2016
@jeremycorbyn
visited.
Offering solidarity, he met with firefighters and stood by those worst effected.
The best
@Keir_Starmer
can offer is a empty tweet, whilst his party reneges on its commitments to alleviate the climate catastrophe.
My heart goes out to everyone devastated by floods. I thank the emergency services for their tireless work.
Labour's Flood Resilience Taskforce will make sure flood defences are in the right places, and fit for purpose.
Peopleโs lives shouldnโt be upended by extreme rain.
The left right now is not in a good place.
Hope remains, and the collective experience is strong.
But we have to rebuild in baby steps.
A victory for
@jeremycorbyn
is the first step in that.
Up to July 4th, Iโll be spending my time fighting for Jeremy in Islington North.
I am livid, fuming to hear that
@mygibbo
has been suspended by the Labour Party.
I offer him my full unequivocal solidarity.
This unjust decision will only strengthen the links on the chain across the left.

Your profile picture endorses the Right to Food campaign, yet you are endorsing a candidate who seeks to unseat an MP who has used his time as an MP & as an activist to mobilise a grassroots campaign to end food poverty.

I feel a deep sense of anger at the political and media establishment who have made this legitimised this culture of harassment.
I feel at the same time resolute feeling of solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn, one of the strongest people I know. Always on the side of the people.
Jeremy Corbyn is harassed and verbally abused by a member of the public who almost repeats the headlines about him verbatim.
If any violence is committed against this 73-year-old man again, we will know where the blame lies.

No,
It was the courage of thousands of Anti Fascists who came out in force from Newcastle to Finchley, Walthamstow to Norwich who told the Fascists their hatred will be not be tolerated.
They ran away scared, and back into the gutter where they belong.
Three things have possibly deterred further riots:
- huge police presence
- swift justice delivered with hefty sentences handed out today
- a loss of momentum after the weekend, with no one event ever really topping a few hundred people, as shocking as some scenes were
A packed out Conway Hall tonight.
The answer is clear from

We must reject any calls for war.
We must reject the actions of the Russian Government.
We must be aware of the most fearful crimes of the centuries.
