𝗔𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 @𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 🚨 840 candidates. That's the magic number to force the broadcasters to give socialism "fair media coverage" this May. Don’t let the Establishment bury our message. Let’s get Jeremy and Zarah on national TV slots, anti-austerity activists in regional debates, and a platform for the socialist alternative📺 Stand for election in May. No deposits needed.

😡 @DBH_NHSFT - union-busting This is a total dereliction of duty that put incredibly vulnerable patients at risk. The trust needs to stop its appalling behaviour and resolve the nurses’ concerns - @unitetheunion will not back down until that happens. #NHS

Unite’s message to Birmingham council is clear: it needs to return to negotiations and offer a fair deal to its workers. Every day this dispute continues is seeing the council’s costs climb ever further. This dispute will not end until there is justice for bin workers.

West Surrey Trades Council: Public Meeting for a People’s Budget The Trades Council believes that jobs, services, pay, terms and conditions, and trade union facilities are likely to come under attack by the new unitary authorities as they struggle to manage their finances.

12 years this night our precious son was taken from us in the early hours of the 8th. Zane Died, Authorities Lied. 12 yrs on and no lessons learnt, no prevention of future deaths & flood alerts in play. We call for #ZanesLaw to ensure what happened to Zane, never happens again #TruthAboutZane

Today’s acquittal of six Palestine Action activists is a huge win against attempts to criminalise protest and resistance to genocide. After 500+ days in custody, the Filton jury returned not guilty verdicts on aggravated burglary for all, and no convictions on any other counts. Elbit Systems arms Israel’s genocide in Gaza and this Labour government enables it. Solidarity with all who took a stand, and all facing repression for speaking up for Palestine. We will not stop! 🇵🇸✊🏽

Peter Mandelson said of Jeremy Corbyn “I resent him”, and that he would work “every single day in some small way to bring forward an end to his time in office” Never underestimate the Labour right and the lengths they will go.

Costs are mounting every day - @BhamCityCouncil's figures are likely to be an underestimate of the colossal mishandling of this dispute. Negotiations haven't taken place since July 2025. Strikes will not end until there is fair deal for bin workers. #Birmingham

Corbyn and Sultana were on a zoom call with Nellist a few months back, along with a load of trade unionists, calling for a new workers’ party. The CEC will have to sort this out. You can’t have a broad electoral party of the left and not work with people who are reliable allies.
Dave Nellist@davenellist

My appeal against being banned from the #YourParty executive elections has been rejected. Thanks for everyone's support. There seems to be no further avenue. Whatever happened to the five independent members the Conference decided would oversee Your Party alongside the MPs? You can read my appeal and April Ashley's in this week's edition of The Socialist, where other Socialist Party members and I will continue the fight for a new national party of the working class, with trade unions and trade unionists at its heart, which argues for the widest anti-austerity and anti-war electoral challenge this May: socialistparty.org.uk

I have been banned from standing for the executive committee of #YourParty. Here is my letter of appeal (and a photo of a 500 strong protest 35 years ago when I was last banned from participation in a political party).

I’ve worked with @davenellist in Coventry and seen his commitment to Your Party and to wider workers’ struggles. Barring him and others from the CEC elections is wrong. They must be reinstated immediately. We reject witch-hunts, arbitrary rule changes and factional exclusions. Your Party must unite the left, not divide it. Sign the petition:
Grassroots Left@Grassroots_Left

.@IanHenrySpencer's candidacy has been reinstated, but there are still comrades who have been unfairly blocked. We say no to witch hunts and tactics of the Labour right. Grassroots Left stands in full solidarity with Ian Drummond, Dave Nellist, April Ashley, Moe Manir, Raj Gill and all who remain excluded. If you agree, please sign our petition: app.grassrootsleft.org/no-more-witch-…

Discussions are continuing amongst union reps and activists on how best to put trade unions at the heart and centre of the developments toward a new working-class anti-austerity and anti-war party. Meetings this coming week for members of #Unison, #CWU, and #GMB. Details at tusc.org.uk/events/
