As Chair I'm beyond proud that as a society we are lending our voices in support for the trans community at this difficult time. Transphobia has no place within our society or party and I hope the next labour government takes the proper steps to stamp out hate.
In light of recent statements by senior figures in the Labour party, UYLC would like to direct our voices in support of our trans comrades and to decry the vial transphobia sadly present within our party. Read our statement below ๐
I'm delighted to announce that I am running for
@LabourStudents
Yorkshire and the Humber rep with
@socialist_yl

@UYLC
and a dedicated campaigner within the region I know how vital it is to have a strong base of labour students fighting for an ambitious gov! โ๐คโค๏ธ

Socialist Future will fight for free education, support our fantastic Labour Clubs, and build our movement for a transformative Labour government ๐น
I'm delighted to announce that I am now on the ballot for Yorkshire and the Humber rep for

Fantastic to be officially on the ballot! Thank you to all the students across the region who have supported me so far. As
@LabourStudents
we need a committee which can work within the party to push for the ambition we know this country desperately needs.
We at Leicester Labour Soc stand against transphobia. Always have, always will.
I was proud to co-write this with
@AlexAlexaBurt
, and I'm thankful to the 32 other clubs that signed. Labour Students is united on this.

Great to see Labour students committee members taking a strong stance on hate within our party. Fantastic also to see the outpouring of support for young labour activists, particularly our trans comrades, who have been targeted. The party should do more to support its members.
Given the horrific abuse some of our young members have faced, I and other members of the National Labour Students Committee want to share a message of solidarity with our trans members and allies.
Solidarity to all of you who have stood up for equality and human rights ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโ

Not a big fan of 'floating head' style movie posters, and the background is a bit bland, however I am surprised how they know I'm actually 3ft
Great campaigning session yesterday morning and phone banking in the afternoon as we were hit with hail! However, we managed to power through and spoke to many local members who are interested in getting involved in campaigns.
Great canvass session for
@DSkaith
in Wheldrake for the North Yorkshire Mayor. It will be crucial that we have Labour mayor's like David and the East Midlands own
@ClaireWard4EM
This role is so important and it was great to chat to David and
@lukejcr
about rail in the region.
Don't forget voting opens tomorrow! This is a fantastic opportunity to have a
@LabourStudents
committee which can fight this general election to the fullest and make sure
@UKLabour
has the ambition to deliver on the radical change this country needs after years of Tory austerity!
๐จ Ballots open tomorrow!! ๐จ
Vote Socialist Future for a Young Labour and Labour Students that is proudly socialist, democratic and campaigning โ

Great to be out last night with
@UYLC
hearing from just some of our fantastic MPs, candidates, and union officials fighting the good fight. We need more people like these to push
@UKLabour
to be as ambitious as it can be 2024!
I've just received my ballot for
@LabourStudents
national committee elections and (hopefully) so will everyone else. Please remember to cast your ballot! It's vital we have the passionate committee who can represent all parts of the Labour movement in this vital time.
Fantastic but sadly necessary statement from Alex here. As a party with social justice at its core we must do better for the trans community. We need more people like Alex to take strong leadership on this issue. Solidarity โ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Check out my article for Nouse, on how I managed to get Penny Mordaunt in my BeReal!
It's a satirical piece on how I managed to survive a Tory dinner and why I'll probably never be invited back.
Yesterday,
@UKLabour
activists across York and beyond gathered in Haxby to support my
#Win24
campaign for York Outer!
We need to turn York Outer red in 2024, and it was fantastic to see so many residents on the doors who want the same.๐น

Speaking in a personal capacity, you have me on the spelling error. Not sure which university teaches spelling though? However, a fragile piece of glass containing an ultimately futile combustion does perfectly describe the terf mindset.
@AntoniaShipley
Completely agree, it's a real shame that the 'think of the children' crowd seem to think it fit to attack young people for supporting our friends and colleagues
