I’m absolutely honoured to have been elected as National Labour Students West Midlands Representative! Thank you to everyone who voted for me, it’s been quite the campaign.
Now it’s time to get the West Midlands ORGANISED🌹
This election year, it’s more critical than ever that we work to achieve a Labour government🌹
I’m running to energise our West Midlands students to fight a general election and to protect marginalised students at a time when they are more vulnerable than ever.

Great to be in Stoke South campaigning for

People on the doorstep are sick of Sunak’s incompetence and only Labour can provide the best alternative🌹
Bit late but great to have canvassed in Stockton West for the brilliant Joe Dancey🌹
Got bitten by a dog through a letterbox but anything to turn Teesside even redder.
Great to be in Brighton for
@MrTomGray
’s campaign launch!
The Tories and Greens have failed Brighton, but Tom would be an amazing MP for Brighton Pavillon🌹
(Also please do enjoy the view from canvassing)
This is the cost of a return ticket from one end of the West Midlands to the other for a Young Labour event. These are the unaffordable costs faced by student Labour activists.
This is why a Campaigners’ Travel Fund in the West Midlands will be one of my main campaign pledges.
It was great to be at the

Win ‘24 event in Northampton🌹
Heard some great speeches and discussion, and it was amazing to see so many fellow Labour students!

Absolutely ecstatic to serve on the Young Fabian Executive Committee! Looking forward to working with the rest of the committee to reinvigorate YF and working towards a Fabian future🌹

Willow has done a great job in encapsulating just how flawed the Cass Report is, and that the Labour Party must stand in solidarity with some of the most vulnerable groups in our society. Full solidarity✊
1/ The Labour Party should stand on the side of marginalised groups, even when politically inconvenient. That means not uncritically engaging with reports with questionable methodology, especially where doing so threatens the dignity and health of so many vulnerable people.
We had a fantastic launch for Young Labour and Labour Students’ GE campaign and canvass in Welwyn Hatfield for
@Andrew_Lewin_
First canvass of many for the next six weeks🌹

As a German citizen, I’ve just registered for a postal ballot at the European Parliamentary elections🇩🇪
If you’re an EU National, then I massively urge you to also register before your nation’s deadline. These elections are going to be crucial in deciding the fate of Europe.

Look out for updates on this page and in your emails for our next campaign days! 🌹
The BAME and disabled community has been waiting far too long for such reforms. Labour’s bold Race Equality Act will be a pivotal step in our quest for justice and equality✊
Labour’s Race Equality Act will extend full equal pay rights to Black, Asian, ethnic minority and disabled workers for the first time.
Great to chat through our mission-driven plan today.
@DLawrenceOBE
Just a final thing: I also just want to immensely thank the

💥YOUNG LABOUR LAUNCH!💥
With a GE approaching, there has never been a more important time to build a thriving youth movement to take on the Tories.
We are Organise Young Labour — the campaign to build YL into an active, campaigning force.
Join us, and get YL organised!
This is a constant problem. I love being involved in the Labour Party but train fares and accommodation are massive barriers for me.
I haven’t even been able to attend a conference yet because of this.
If elected, I will introduce a campaigners’ travel fund to cover expenses.
i really do have a genuine question: how do
@YoungLabourUK
activists afford to get all across the country? this is not a criticism of anyone whatsoever, I just really don’t get it. I have to work most days doing manual labour when i’m at home from uni to afford to live! 1/2
We’re hitting the ground running at Labour Students in Blackpool!
Gutted to not be able to join the rest of the committee but I highly recommend this canvass to anyone going to NUS Conference.
Going to NUS conference next week and fed up with Tories failing students? Canvass with us to elect a Labour MP in the Blackpool South by-election!
▪️12pm on 17th April, meeting at Alfred Street Car Park (just behind conference centre!)

Lundy has done a great job to make Brighton the most effective and organised Young Labour group in the country. I know she will bring the same energy and enthusiasm to the role of South East Rep and I throughly support her candidacy.
With a General Election looming, the South East could be the make or break in a Labour victory.
With me as Chair of South East Young Labour, we will be ready and organised for that fight ✊🌹
Pledges ⬇️
Very happy that Ralph has been re-elected to the Young Labour committee. He’s genuinely the most hard-working man I know and I’m sure he will put maximum effort into this role as well🌹

His take on placing power from central government back into the hands of the people was absolutely superb🌹

So grateful to Open Labour for endorsing me. Looking forward to campaigning with OL on a truly radical, transformative programme for change.
I want to be an Eastern Rep for every student, from every part of the Party, and I’m glad to have OL’s support in delivering that!
If you still haven’t received your ballot for NOLS elections then they should arrive today!
Make sure to vote for me as your West Midlands Rep and the rest of the Organise24 slate🌹

Really delighted to attend with the rest of the committee! Student housing has become a substantial problem in the West Midlands. Labour will make sure that students will always be able to affordably rent at university, and not find it cheaper to commute from across the country🌹

I’m thrilled to be running to be your next Chair of Labour Students.
With a general election approaching, we need an energised and inclusive organisation that can beat the Tories and fight for students’ priorities.
Here’s why I’m running👇
Our goal is to create Labour Students and Young Labour Committees that are able to unite us under our common goals and create a safe environment for all young members. These pledges put us in the best place to achieve these goals🌹
To truly democratise Labour Students and Young Labour and make them more inclusive organisations, we need a better committee culture.
This is our plan to achieve it: 👇
We’re so proud that
@maya13039
has been elected unopposed to be your next chair of
@WestmidsYL
! 👊🌹
Maya has been a fantastic interim chair - and as chair will continue to mobilise young members to campaign in key marginals ahead of the upcoming general election.
You love to see it! I would have preferred rolling stock companies to be included as well but this is a great first step in cleaning up the mess privatisations has made of our railways🌹
💥JUST ANNOUNCED! Labour will create Great British Railways! 🚂🌹
With Labour, our railways will be:
- Publically owned
- Focused on passengers
- Fit for the future
Only Labour has a plan to fix our broken railways and put passengers first. Let's get Britain moving again!
I’m delighted that Lundy has been elected at Chair of South East Young Labour!
She’s done an amazing job making Brighton and Hove Young Labour one of the most active YL groups in the country. I’m sure she’ll put even more effort into this role🌹
Congratulations
@lundy_mackenzie
on being elected as the new chair of South East Young Labour! ❤️🔥🌹
Winning in the SE is crucial for a Labour victory, and with Lundy as chair we know that young members be organised for that fight.
Bruno is a great individual who would do an amazing job at mobilising students in London to get Labour back into power. He’d do wonders for London Labour Students🌹
Whether on the cost of living, trans rights or skyrocketing fees, the change students badly need won’t come unless we see the back of this Tory gov't.
That's why I'm standing for
@LabourStudents
London Rep – to build a strong campaigning force to help Labour win in London 🌹
Congratulations
@Sud3nazTop
on being elected as the new chair of London Young Labour! 🔥🌹
With a GE looming & Sadiq Khan up for re-election in May, building a vibrant youth movement in our capital is crucial. With Sudenaz as Chair, we're set to be well-organised for this.
Lee Anderson’s comments are not just racist and Islamophobic but dangerously reckless. It’s an incredibly vulnerable time for us Muslims and Anderson is just pouring fuel onto the fires.
The Conservatives have an Islamophobia problem and they need to fix it now!
Issy is an absolutely committed member of the Labour Party who has an immense amount of experience. Her expertise and determination would make her a perfect Secretary of Labour Students!
I’m standing alongside Ruby and Lewis to energise our movement going into the general election 🌹
As Chair of a newly established Labour club, I know the important role that students play in our party.
Here’s what we’ll do to support students across the country ⬇️
Sam is an absolute gem of a person and they’d be a terrific LGBTQ+ Officer for Young Labour! Their track record on promoting LGBTQ+ rights speaks for itself

It’s just disgusting how young activists, who are standing up for fundamental human rights, can be so vilified by people staffing rubbish online.
We joined the Labour Party because it stood against hate, and we will continue to stand against hate no matter the adversity✊
If you want to see the face of anti-trans activists, look at the comments on this thread. Condescending, abusive, and, frankly, disgustingly obsessed with young people's genitals. Solidarity.
And, for the record, I agree with Meg.
Jack and us at
@Organise24

Being a member from a young age, I want to further improve our party so it is one we are proud of.
It’s so important that we have someone who is vocal so inequalities are expelled from society.
Ruby has an excellent vision for Labour Students!
Only with her can it become a campaigning force that it organised and effective, and an organisation that is inclusive and committed to change🌹

I would definitely lobby for more national campaign days in the West Midlands, especially in the Potteries and Shropshire. There is a large breadth of marginals seats in the area and increased mobilisation on a nationwide level would be crucial in winning seats there.

At a critical period for the Labour Party and students, it is vital we implement radical, progressive and meaningful reforms that delivers for all students.
Lewis is one of the most innovative and committed people that I’ve met in the Labour Party. He has the drive to make Labour Students a more inclusive, equitable and organised place. He would be outstanding as Vice-Chair!🌹

I'm standing to be your next Labour Students Trans Officer.
At a time of rising hate crime and political vitriol, it is more important than ever that we have a vocal student movement within Labour fighting for our rights.
Here are my priorities for delivering that... 🧵
a Muslim student, I’ve seen first-hand how hate has been allowed to fester in recent times. Within Labour Students, I will stand for zero tolerance against Islamophobia, antisemitism and transphobia against our trans siblings.
Ben is a fantastic individual who would bring great success to Labour Students in the East Midlands, I’ll be cheering him on from the other side of the Midlands🌹
There is a General Election coming up which we need to win.
As Co-chair of Nottingham Labour Students I have organised us for the election. Now I’m running for East Midlands Representative on the Labour Student Committee to do the same with the whole East Midlands.
