Mainstream@mainstreamlabour.bsky.social · 7mo ago

🌹📢 Introducing your 2026 Mainstream candidates for the NEC! Thank you to our members for participating in our ballot and voting to endorse a strong team of determined, progressive candidates for Labour's NEC. This year, let's reconnect Labour with its mainstream.

Welcome back Diane! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Diane Abbott readmitted into Labour Party after suspension

The long-serving MP apologises for past comments and says she has been issued with a "formal warning".

I’ve tended to avoid voting by slate - I want to choose my candidates according to their beliefs and what they’re actually going to do for people. Today I’m supporting candidates who are Mainstream supporters because of the principles they’ve signed up to (see below):

Mainstream@mainstreamlabour.bsky.social · last wk.

💥💥💥 Ballots are arriving today! 💥💥💥 Vote for the Mainstream team to build a new politics rooted in democracy, participation and radical ambition for the communities Labour exists to serve. www.mainstreamlabour.org/2026-nec-and...

Co-operative Party@coopparty.party.coop · 2w ago

From Rochdale in 1844 to Downing Street today. For the first time in history, a Labour and Co-operative politician leads the country. Congratulations to Andy Burnham, Britain's first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister. 🐝

South Bank, London in 1976 and today

Enjoying the new wands protecting our cycele track along Green Lanes. Thank you to Brownswood and Woodberry Down residents who pressed for these repairs and @lowtraffichackney.bsky.social and to our @hackneycouncil.bsky.social Streetscene team for getting the work done.

What a tragic loss of life on Hackney’s streets. Too many people have died on our streets and too many young people’s lives have been destroyed. Man in his 20s fatally stabbed near Hackney school www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Another helpful bike and pedestrian crossing thanks to the last administration @hackneycouncil.bsky.social and Hackney Wick’s former Labour councillors and with plenty of rain gardens to help to green busy Cassland Road in E9 and protect us from flooding.

Hackney is 3rd in London for healthy streets - congratulations to everyone who worked so hard @hackneycouncil.bsky.social over the last few years. www.healthystreetsscorecard.london/results/your...

There are some great things about the commitments made to residents as part of Woodberry Down’s regeneration and the Labour Council stuck to those promises even when it was a struggle. Why aren’t the new Green council able to? open.substack.com/pub/davehill...

Hackney: Greens approve next stage of 'exemplary' Woodberry Down regeneration

The party has been scathing about the scheme in the past, but the council's new leadership has waved through phases likely to force tenants to move twice, citing viability concerns

£1.5bn is stripped out of social care every year as private profit. £1 in every £10. It doesn't have to be like this. Our new report sets out the co-operative alternative: care built on reinvestment, and recommends workers have the right to buy out their firms.

Great to see @carolinewoodley.bsky.social’s and Hackney Labour’s work coming to fruition. As part of the transformation of King’s Hall Leisure Centre, the gym is temporarily moving to another council building at Christopher Addison House, as planned. www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/2623635...

West Reservoir is looking better than ever after its makeover thanks to the former Labour Mayor @carolinewoodley.bsky.social @hackneycouncil.bsky.social It was so good to see groups having swimming lessons and sailing lessons, people enjoying the cafe and cool showers after a glorious swim.

The end of a very hot day when our incredibly committed socialist Labour candidates didn’t win by-elections in Hackney Central and Dalston. But Sheila Susso Runge and Grace Adebayo will always work for their communities as well do in Hackney Labour.

Watching Andy Burnham’s clear win in Makerfield and Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches opening their Presidential Center. We’ve had so much hate and pain recently, but these speeches are filled with hope and commitment to making people’s lives better. Feeling hopeful and ready to do the work.

Just been to the premiere of thequietkindofdrowning.com - a feature length film from Woodberry Down’s very own Fame Star Youth, written by a talented teenaged cast member. Fame Star Youth are jewels in Woodberry Down’s crown, thanks to Euphemia Chukwu’s inspiration, dedication and sheer graft.

@coopparty London Conference today - thinking about belonging. Looking at all the brilliant work already happening in our communities. It feels like we’re in a generational moment of division and inequality and we can come together with our differences to create strength and hope.
