Cornwall Young Labour

We've been receiving some messages from young people working in bars and restaurants in the County recently. Sounds like there's a lot of appalling employment practice out there. Labour would fight exploitative 0-hours contracts and put workers first, it's what they deserve!

@JohnnyMercerUK Just you wait until our generation - one heavily influenced by the likes of Owen - is in charge xx

Unlike you I changed my life and career to get elected to Parliament to fight the life chances agenda for our poorest kids in Plymouth, which I’ve done successfully for five years now. I’d wager you’ve gobbed off a lot, but not changed a single life. You are a total fraud.

@PetuniaSmith6 @Alfiedog9 @JohnnyMercerUK Page 40 of the 2019 Labour Party manifesto. You might've missed it when you read all the manifestos Petunia, but I'm afraid you're spreading a falsehood This is not a new problem, but it has been made so much worse by this government's awful response to COVID All the best

@Alfiedog9 @JohnnyMercerUK Don't be ridiculous. How has this suddenly become a problem? Where have all these supposedly starving kids suddenly come from? Why wasn't it in Corbyns manifesto? Labour don't give a damn, just using Rushford and all you gullible idiots to bash the Tories. Wake up!

This is completely against all expert guidance, against what members of the Government have themselves been saying. Do not allow them to restrict testing. It's not necessary, will kill people, and is only going to be used to shrink numbers #CovidUK #coronavirusuk

'Heartless and reckless' to force shielding people back to work, says TUC #Echobox=1596134265" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/world/2020/jul…

The Tory Party of the last 40 years has demonstrated incomparable economic irresponsibility. How do they cover themselves when they run out of money? They pawn our public services to the Cash Converters of the world. Selling public services is proof of failed governance #NHS

@JayDStaker The LMH librarian is a top bloke. Fishwick-Ford to succeed Rusbridger? Let's hope so

Here's to the LMH librarian who thought that now would be an appropriate time to order in a copy of Camus' The Plague. How witty you are

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-…

Here is the deputy general secretary of the RMT union after being attacked by these groups. They are the same groups, but their numbers are swelling These groups are an afront to our democracy, not the pulling down of statues of bastards #londonprotests twitter.com/hopenothate/st…

This video from last year shows DFLA members/far-right protesters attacking police - even stripping the cenotaph of poppy wreaths to use as missiles. These people don't care about memorials and history. They care that black people are speaking out youtu.be/OjCf0eDnQoQ

The whole of last summer, many of our members were heading to protests in LDN against the DFLA. They were horrifically violent and racist then, just as now. Their violence went unreported and uncriticised. They are emboldened by silence #londonprotests bbc.co.uk/news/uk-530310…

@RishiSunak You are one of the most senior figures in a Party responsible for the Windrush Scandal, the criminal response to Grenfell. A Party with a deep history of racism, led by a man who has repeatedly made racist comments Progress isn't slow, it's non-existent when you're in charge

I’ve had a lot of questions on what I think about last weekend’s protests so I thought it would be easiest to share my thoughts below.

The fall of statues IS history Emperor Domitian's statues were destroyed 1st C AD, American Revolutionaries melted-down a statue of George III, fall of Saddam was marked by the dragging down of his statue Iconoclasm IS history History is being written now #BlackLivesMattter

One point on Cummings' account of trip to 'outskirts' of Barnard Castle: they were seen on the far side of town from most likely and direct route. It seems weird that an eyesight test drive to the 'outskirts' takes you through town to the river. theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

Dominic Cummings complains at his Downing Street press conference that there had been a long string of inaccurate stories about him. Welcome to my world.

Cummings said he warned about i.a. corona virus in 2019. Thing is, he didn't. References to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year.
