“We are seeing a unique historic contraction in family incomes. The rail strikes are arguably the canary down the coalmine. You cannot dodge this. Labour has to be supportive of those seeking to defend their living standards.” #StarmerIsWrong #CatchUpKeith

The treatment of @Marcwads is a disgrace. While we expel antiracists and socialists from our party the far right is mobilising on our streets. We need socialism to transform our society, to change the balance of power, to change the course of history. We can do it. @DerbyChrisW

We are proud @HackneyAbbott is a member of @RMTunion parliamentary group. We are grateful for her longstanding representation of our members and our union. I'm proud she stood with striking rail workers. We are proud to stand with Diane Abbot against racist, misogynist bullies.

Yes, the Tories are racist and sexist – but Labour is guilty too | Diane Abbott "The Tories' reluctance to condemn attacks on me was shocking, if not surprising. But Labour has also failed to deal with the racism I’ve experienced at the party's hands."

Why are workers striking? Retail Price Index inflation change (published 22 June 2022) for the 12 months to May 2022 is 11.7% HSBC bosses scooped £596k EACH in bonuses last year on top of average £479k salaries. Barclays bonus pool hit £1.9 bn. QED.

Brexit obsessives who want to weaponise the plight of sacked workers to support their hobby horse of rejoining the EU are wrong factually, historically & morally. Read this from the Remainers' bible. Brexit didn't sack these workers. @POferries did. 1/x

Are the P&O Ferries mass sackings a result of Brexit?

Analysis: UK government claimed EU exit would let it change employment law, but it has not yet done so
