Labour's UNCENSORED Broadcast: the version they couldn't air 👇🏽

Reform won't want you to see this 👇

Our latest Party Election Broadcast cannot be shown in full on TV. But we think you should see it anyway - uncensored. youtube.com/watch?v=to4z3C…

Bring her back for one last run

Something from the Green Party to help with your heating bills.🤣🤣🤣

That’s NOT what Sir. Olly Robbins told the select committee.

Thank you for highlighting this. This is a cowardly act and our strong communities are not intimidated one bit. The people of Newham reject narratives of hate and division. We stand together and demand accountability. @NewhamLondon @MPSNewham @BBCLondonNews @myldn

Next stop Brixton Hill today campaigning with local councillors and activists in the sunshine.

The party is over @Keir_Starmer. Resign.

Wes is spot on. As councillors we have no control over foreign policy, however much we may care about it. We have to remember what the day job is. My political focus will always be Woodford, and as a cabinet member our young people in our borough. Stick with us.

🚨 SUMMARY: Olly Robbins' evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee - No 10 applied "constant pressure" on the Foreign Office to approve Peter Mandelson’s appointment, showing little interest in vetting - the message was to "get this done" before Donald Trump's inauguration - The Cabinet Office argued Mandelson didn’t need vetting but the Foreign Office insisted that he did - There was "constant chasing" from Keir Starmer’s private office during the time Mandelson was being vetted, such as "when is this done?" - he says it was a matter of "when, not if" - Criticised Starmer’s judgement in appointing Mandelson, saying he "regrets" that the "serious reputational risks" identified in the due diligence “didn't colour the PM's judgement” - He was "quite uncomfortable" being told by No 10 to "find" an ambassadorship for then comms director Matthew Doyle, who was recently suspended from Labour over his links to a paedophile, without informing then Foreign Secretary David Lammy - He raised concerns about Doyle’s credentials and the idea was dropped. He later revealed No 10 suggested a US post for Doyle, which would have posed a conflict of interest as Doyle had been the one who was "satisfied" with Mandelson’s vetting answers - After Mandelson was sacked as US ambassador, Robbins requested full vetting documents but was denied access following discussions between the Foreign Office and Cabinet Office on national security grounds. It suggests senior officials knew Robbins had concerns about the vetting process and why therefore the PM’s team did not probe more deeply - The vetting team reportedly "ticked the red box" - an explicit recommendation not to approve Mandelson - but Robbins says he was not shown that conclusion and recalls being told it was "borderline" and "leaning towards recommending against", while being advised the risks could be mitigated - Robbins contradicted Starmer’s claim he would have blocked the appointment if aware of vetting concerns, saying it would have been "very difficult" given the role had already been announced and agreed with the US - He also revealed US approval for Mandelson as ambassador came before security clearance and "was delivered, … technically, just, by one working day, by the Biden administration" - He added that blocking Mandelson at that stage could have "damaged US-UK relations" and caused issues with Donald Trump’s administration - He concluded that he doesn't "fully understand" why he was sacked by Keir Starmer and suggested he would sue the Government as part of a "separate process" he couldn't go into - "I am desperately, desperately sad about it. I loved that job. I loved that institution... it's been the proudest part of my career... I wish I could still be with them"

🚨 BREAKING: Olly Robbins says he was asked to find an ambassadorship role for Keir Starmer’s then comms chief Matthew Doyle, who was recently suspended from Labour over links to a paedophile "I felt quite uncomfortable about it. I kept giving advice that this was very hard... for me to defend"

This might be one of the most damning things yet. Why would Starmer/No 10 want to appoint someone with links to a pedophile to a senior role just after he'd been suspended for having links to a pedophile? Unimaginable level of incompetence, ignorance and general shithousery

@Uma_Kumaran on the Foreign Affairs Select Commitee 👌🏽

Funny that you talk the talk of inclusion when so many young members have spent the last two years feeling shut out, ignored or taken for granted. If this is how they behave after winning, it says a lot. (4/4)

If this is divisive rhetoric, I’d hate to see what constructive criticism looks like. The Labour left isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and articles like this are exactly why so many young members are fed up with Organise’s politics. (3/4)

🧵 Surprised (not really) to see such an arrogant article written after an election rerun caused by incompetence from within. Even after the second go, plenty of positions were so close. This was not some overwhelming landslide or ringing endorsement of one faction. (1/4)

Alienating half the membership in one article is pretty poor. Let’s be honest, a lot of members don’t have an active YL branch or Society, so those “achievements” don’t reach them anyway. This wasn’t a strong mandate, it was a fairly even vote share in a very weird situation.
