I’m a white man from a Leeds Council estate, now living in a mortgaged home in the same community i was brought up, I have ZERO savings!
- How will you help my family?
- Why are you choosing who to help based on their race?
Under the Tories, four in five black people have less than £1500 in savings to cope with soaring bills.
Labour’s energy plan would cut £200 off household energy bills.
And we’d bring in a Race Equality Act to tackle structural racial inequality at source.
I spoke to an elderly gentleman this weekend. He asks, “What is a woman?”. I respond, “An adult human female”, He shakes my hand and says, “you have my vote”.

common sense prevails.
Can someone explain to me why

branded accounts are furious that only 160,000 people have a vote for the Tory Prime minister; but they are happy only 750(1) people have a vote for the EU Commioner. 🤔🙄

25,000 dead in Gaza.
The Israeli PM making it clear he's against any two-state solution.
Yet all we get from our Government is empty words.
Enough is enough.
It needs to act. Starting by bringing a UN Security Council motion for a ceasefire and by ending arms sales to Israel.
Here’s is a list of 19 Leeds City Council employees who all earn more than £100,000 per year! Is this a good use of public funds?
Do we need ALL these people on such big salaries whilst our council tax rises, our dementia care homes close and our bins get emptied less and less.
Meanwhile in Middleton Park ward I was planting flowers in these pots.
This is something I can actually change - I can’t change a war 1000’s of miles away.

It was a young woman singing a song. Why in Earth should she be held accountable for actions of a Government she may not of even voted for 🤷♀️
BREAKING: The Government has asked all UK govt buildings to fly the Israeli flag and use appropriate coloured lighting to show solidarity victims.
Latest:
📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube
If only we could process Rapist, Peodo’s and murderers through the courts as quickly as rioters.
Many victims have to wait months/ years when clearly we don’t need them to.

These people are delusional. They actually think leaving the EU was just about money. Many of us had nothing before and we still have nothing, nothings changed except our politicians can’t hide behind the EU anymore - they are more accountable as Rishi is about to find out.
If a man convinces you to trade your cow for a handful of magic beans, and all you get is a garden full of weeds, it stands to reason you wouldn’t fall for his tall tales again.
Vote Rejoin, Not for more Magic Beans.

Stealing care workers from countries who need them is what we have resorted to. Why? Because we’ve failed to train our own people.
@sdphq
have the answers.
I never was a hardened Brexiteer, but i am a hardened Democrat, so I suppose that now turns me into a hardened Brexiteer in order to fight for Democracy.
The beauty of British politics.
This Sunday I will be attending The remembrance Parade in Leeds to lay a wreath on behalf of the Social Democratic party.
What an honour to be part of this service. A little nervous.
Retweet this to;
- Show these three young men you support them.
- Show these three young men how proud of them you are.
- Show these three young men we are against the vile racism they have received.

My gran lives alone, has lost her Sister, Sister in law, a nephew and a neice with 6 weeks - thats 4 family deaths in short space of time! It’s hard for anyone.
Police visited her because a neighbour reported more than one person checking on her (she has 6 kids, all concerned)🤷♀️
I’m proud to announce i’ve been officially registered as a

From a party of 30+ of us in 2017 to a party of thousands today - that is why
@WilliamClouston
has gained the unanimous respect of the whole Party.
Congratulations to William. Onwards and upwards.
We are delighted to announce that William Clouston has today been re-elected unopposed as SDP Party Leader.
The term of office under the SDP Constitution and Rule Book is 48 months.
Congratulations William!
I’ve not always voted labour. But I do find it hard to imagine anyone sound of mind looking at the last 13 years: Brexit, austerity, the inner workings of the government during Covid, Liz Truss, THIS chart, etc, and thinking, tell you what, let’s give him a few more.
Opinion:
I was talking about the pressure cost of living was having on families 5 years ago.
The only reason its now a big talking point is because it’s starting to affect the middle classes.
Nobody cared before!
Not many kids in the crowd behind you 😁
All the working class kids staying in school as their parents are scared of fines ruining them financially. Middle class kids all sat on millennium square with their iphones updating twitter 🙈😫
All of us here at the Club would like to congratulate one of our u11 players Nathan Tufour on signing his contract with Bradford City. He will leave a huge hole in our u11 team. Good luck with everything and don’t forget about us.
Great coaching achievement

General Election 2024.
There is one man who’s campaigned with me since 2018. He’s knocked on doors, delivered 10,000’s of leaflets alongside me and most of been there when I’ve almost quit!

Disgusted my local MP is causing us to have a bad deal by blocking our Government from negotiating properly. If he ever wants a new car, id happily sell him one.
@RichardBurgon
Didn’t all this start when there was a Ceasefire? That’s what I can’t get my head around.
Both sides have to agree to a Ceasefire, have Hamas agreed?
What I don’t understand is why people think
@UKLabour
is the next answer at the next General Election?
Do people remember what happened last time they ran the country?
@Conservatives
have followed in their footsteps.
Time for change -

My wife just called me upset because she saw a guy abusing staff in ASDA because he couldn’t buy Alcohol with his Kids free dinner vouchers! Yes, you read that right. She told him he was a disgrace and shouldn’t even have the vouchers if his family don’t need them. Proud Husband
I’m gutted today, D-Day, has simply been ignored by most of the media.
On 6th June 1944 many heroes risked and gave their lives so we could have our freedom - i wont forget.
Went out canvassing today for a bit - great response. I was shocked how traditional Labour voters are looking for something new and considering the
@sdphq
as their new choice.
NEW: 50 MPs and peers have written an open letter to the Home Secretary demanding the creation of a Gaza Family Scheme to allow Palestinians in the UK to bring their family members trapped in Gaza to safety
@GazaFamReunited
2 and half hours driving around to get signatures for a candidate last night.
The general public don’t realise what goes in behind the scenes - I hope they welcome their
@sdphq
option.
A great response on the doors today. Lots of people telling us they switched their vote to the SDP last year and that’s where their vote is staying.
Thanks for all the support.
#ElectEmma
Am i the only one who doesn’t think a General Election is good for the country right now? More uncertainty can’t help, we need stability, we need the Government to say we are leaving on WTO, get planning!
This is unacceptable. I have seen first hand what work Gaz and others have to do to keep his u14 girls team together.
This is another barrier for girls getting into football.
@SDPhq
@LeedsReSisters
@WilliamClouston
I was at the meeting to vote against allowing this to happen. I have 20 girls who have all said they would quit playing football if boys were allowed to play in their league. The FA need to reconsider their stance on this before they force a generation of girls to leave the game
I am really pleased to be confirmed yet again as

from day one, no vitue signalling - just what it said on the tin.
Just got home after a 6 and 1/2 hour council meeting where basically nothing was changed.
More letter to the Government that will be ignored, more Labour patting themselves on the back, but no change.
My regret is this, I regret not joining earlier, I regret I can’t finance more media coverage or attract famous names to our brand. However, what we have is a genuine movement that cares about our country.
Join me:

I’m excited to be appointed as the new

Head of Candidate selection.
In 2019 GE we had 20 candidates. In 2024/25 GE we have 41 ready, all thanks to the hard work of my predecessor, Andy Bowers who steps down due to work - Thank you Andy.
Can we double it again? PM me!
I will be on

again on Tuesday 4th of January, at 7:10am for a one-on-one interview with

We're going to be talking about children going back to school and what the impact would be if they were to shut again because of rising Omicron cases.

We did it again!

This woman has stood by my side throughout everything and you can never buy that.
