Truro & Fal Labour

SAVE OUR SUNDAY POLITICS! This morning South West Labour MPs, cllrs, former Parliamentary candidates and a former MEP have written to BBC SW boss Stephanie Marshall opposing any cuts to local political programming, including @BBCPoliticsWest , @InsideOutWest & @sun_politics_sw

After a group of veterans started gathering around Truro war memorial during BLM demos (leading to confrontations even in this usually quiet place), BLM activists laid flowers at the memorial today This is how we tackle the incitement of a culture war cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…

Dismissing those asking for more PPE as 'those with political motives' is itself the politicising move Labelling honest questions as 'political', and therefore not worthy of listening to, is to silence those most in need right now and their valid concerns at the government

Truro and Falmouth CLP nominates: • Keir Starmer to be leader of the Labour Party • Angela Rayner to be deputy leader of the Labour Party This CLP nominated Yvette Cooper in 2015 and Jeremy Corbyn in 2016.

Pasty Tax Cuts to Cornish arts funding No replacement of Objective 1 Fishermen sold off (again) in Boris's Brexit deal No infrastructural upgrade for Cornwall while HS1, HS2, and HS3 have money poured into them NHS Cornwall torn apart Planning relaxed - destroying our landscapes

The Tories have already lumped Cornwall into a 'South West' funding bloc - even more of a monstrosity than Devonwall. They are not a party which cares about Cornwall. We are a safe-county and they can afford to lose some votes.

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour This is the specific guidance but further rules can be found in the party handbook

@TruroFalLabour @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour Can you send me the rules on the adjustments you can make on accessibility please? As with that one statement it becomes clear as I suggested the rules are clearly being misinterpreted here.

I've been a fully paid-up member of @UKLabour since 2015. Apparently I can't vote in my CLP leadership nomination because I can't attend the meeting in person - there are no arrangements for any kind of post/proxy vote. How is this accessible or democratic?

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour I’m happy to write to the NEC in my personal capacity but I can’t do so on behalf of the CLP executive without discussing it with them first.

@TruroFalLabour @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour You cant write to the NEC complaining? You cant campaign for our equality? You cant incite others to join our campaign? Come on..

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour As an individual member of the CLP I don’t want to act unilaterally so can merely relay the information we have. Happy to bring up at an executive committee meeting.

@TruroFalLabour @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour This is @UKLabour "theres little I can do" when faced with injustice and inequality shouldn't be in our vocabulary. Why are you ok saying that? You're not alone, I'm not trying to single you out but this should be of concern to all members, all clps. All should be fighting this.

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour Hi, we can make a variety of adjustments in terms of accessibility. The original tweet was discussing proxy voting.

@TruroFalLabour @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour Were not just talking about proxy votes were talking reasonable adjustments in general which cover more than proxy.I've contacted NEC and legal team I suspect both will say CLPs are misinterpreting. Also why not protest this with us? Why not support instead of just signposting?

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour the most effective way of tackling. Unfortunately there’s little we can do whilst ensuring our ballot is compliant.

@TruroFalLabour @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour Are you sure you're interpreting them correctly? The law and equality acts cant be ignored so something's clearly going wrong here. Better to say we will work to change this than "that's just the way it is", "that's the way it's always been".

@LornaJStewart @AlfredSoMa @BerwickBabs @Battersby1888 @UKLabour The NEC is responsible for interpreting legislation and gives us guidance on accessibility which requires the venue to be an accessible one. We have to follow procedure on voting which makes no provision for proxy ballots unfortunately. Directing complaints to the NEC would be

On the subject on Cornish fisheries being used as a bargaining chip to benefit the city of London; I think the way unaccompanied refugee children have just been used, shows us how low this government will go. Sunday Politics SW this morning...

At Christmas the scale of injustice and inequality is in plain sight, but so is the generosity and solidarity of our communities.

"Christmas time is the worst time for people on the streets."

Listen to the man in the video here. If only we had had the chance of having someone like this as Prime Minister. . . #TheDirtyWarOnTheNHS #CorbynWasRight

I would like to wish happy #Hanukkah to Jewish people celebrating in Britain and across the world. #Chanukah

#CorbynsChristmasChallenge Snowballs! While millions of us were moping around after the election, @CorbynChrist decided to try and change the world for the hungry and vulnerable in the UK. And they're succeeding prole-star.co.uk/single-post/20…
