Congratulations Jeremy Corbyn, Independent MP for Islington North!
Always on the right side of history - now history has done right by him. This is a victory for peace, justice, hope and fairness!
Labour “can’t afford” an estimated £3.4bn a year to axe the two-child benefit cap and lift hundreds of thousands out of poverty. It can afford an extra £22.5bn to boost military spending to £87.1bn.
That’s not fiscal responsibility. It’s child cruelty.
CANDIDATE NEWS 📰: Collective is backing

Statement:
@HackneyAbbott
has been treated appallingly at the hands of Keir Starmer's
@UKLabour
. Collective offers Diane our full solidarity and support.
The time has come to leave racist and factional Labour behind. Join Collective. Vote independent.
Is this what you voted for? Cuts to winter fuel allowances? Much needed hospital and road building projects halted? By a Labour government that claims it 'didn't know' about the state of UK public finances (spoiler - they did know)?
Dishonest politics. No 'Change' at all.
Is the time gap between Keir Starmer saying one thing and doing another getting shorter? Just three months ago he was berating the government for targeting cuts to pensioners' winter fuel allowances. Yesterday he cut them himself.
Man's a stone-cold liar.
"Last year the PM was apparently drawing up plans to remove the winter fuel allowance from pensioners... will he now rule out taking pensioners winter fuel payments off them to help fund his... black hole?
Keir Starmer 3 months ago.
It is time to build a mass movement that will transform into a political party to take on the Tory-Lab establishment.
Collective calls for immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza & recognition of the Palestinian state + builds on Corbyn's 5 demands.
Britain has made its choice. We have a Labour government that 80% of the population did not vote for. With 33.8% vote share, Labour is less popular than in 2017 or even 2005 (under Blair).
There are significant victories and signals for the left. We build from here, together.
It’s time to join the movement. Time to make history. Sign up today and support our independent candidates standing in seats up and down the UK.

Thousands of trade unionists and anti-racist activists, including Collective leaders, played a huge role in defending their communities last night. The reason
@Keir_Starmer
won't acknowledge that is simple. He's not part of the movement, not one of us and not on our side.
Sorry
@Keir_Starmer
but the primary reason that fascists didn't tear apart and burn our communities last night was because Anti-Fascists, Trade Unionists and members of targeted communities turned out in their thousands and saw them off.
To not even acknowledge that is shameful
The difference between Collective's 6 pledges and Keir Starmer's 6 'steps for change' from Labour? You can trust us to stick to ours.
Say it. Believe it. Mean it. Deliver it. That's the
#WeAreCollective
way.

Unite rejects Labour's manifesto. It knows the New Deal for Working People has been ripped up even before an election.
Collective demands a zero-hours contract ban, scrapping anti-trade union laws and a pay rise for the many. Join
If Labour candidates are avoiding facing voters before the election, as increasingly seems to be the case, just imagine how elusive they’d be if elected. Vote for a candidate that listens and represents your values.
#VoteIndependent
I will be attending a hustings at Harrow Mosque on Saturday. Once again the Labour candidate won’t attend. No one should vote for a candidate so arrogant and contemptuous of the electorate that he can’t be bothered to take part in the democratic process of hustings.

With only 3 in 5 people voting, and only 1 in 3 of those voting Labour, the UK has a government that, in effect, 4 out of 5 people didn't choose.
France’s election results provide a key lesson: a bold left movement of inclusion and hope is the only way to defeat the far right.

After 4 years and £ millions wasted, Labour has dropped its case against ex-staffers, incl
@karie_murphy
and Seumas Milne. Shouldn't have happened.
Another example of Labour pursuing factionalism while ignoring the racism & toxic culture that plague it.
Steep hikes in bills. Sewage in UK water. The ill effects of 70% foreign-owned water companies, loaded with £60bn debt & serving shareholder interests, needs radical action
@uklabour
is not prepared to take.
Nationalisation is the obvious solution.
FINAL WEEKEND CALLOUT 📢
Join
@pamelafitz4HW
& help her win in Harrow West.
SAT, JUNE 29
11am - Meet @ Headstone Lane Station HA2 6NB
2pm - Field End Road, outside Topps Tiles HA4 0NU
5pm - Meet at the junction of Rayners Lane and Coles Crescent (near h12 bus stop).
A public-private NHS is what we’ll get under
@UKLabour
. A fully public system of universal healthcare and National Care Service is what we deserve - funded by raising income tax on the top 5% of earners and making corporations pay their fair share.
Wes Streeting at Tony Blair’s conference this morning refuses to confirm that the NHS will remain free at the point of use - under his tenure look out for ‘top-up fees’ for most of us and a bonanza for private healthcare providers
In 2015, the Tories formed a majority govt having won less than 37% of the national vote. In 2024, we look set for a majority Labour govt (170 seat majority) on just 36% vote share.
64% voted for other parties. Voter turnout is down. Our electoral system is broken.
A welcome ruling from the ICJ
@CIJ_ICJ
that “Israel has the obligation to withdraw from Palestinian occupied territory,” and that Israel must restitute, compensate and/or satisfy impacted Palestinians, including “returning the land occupied since 1967”.
Labour 2017: The decision to limit tax credits and UC payments to the first two children …will increase child poverty. Labour will reform and redesign UC.
Keir Starmer 2024: We haven’t got the resources to do it at the moment.
That’s the ‘Change’ Starmer’s Labour delivers.
Independently and as part of Collective, our candidates are at the forefront of the movement for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to arms sales to Israel, sanctions and prosecutions for war crimes and international recognition of Palestinian sovereignty.

What’s going on here
@EveningStandard
- error or deliberate omission? The 2nd place candidate came within 528 votes of winning but you’ve not included her?
This is disgraceful. This is what the media and political classes do and it’s not going to change. Not unless we make the change happen.
The complicity of our media and political classes are clear. They want to keep us all ignorant of political reality.
