Thank you to the hundreds of you who joined us Monday to celebrate Mainstream's first year. In just twelve months, we've helped shape the Labour Party taking form today. Now we’ll do what Ed suggested: support and pressure. That’s how we’ll transform the country.

Exactly why the @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social team is standing for the Labour NEC, to make sure every member feels seen, heard and respected. Less than 24 hours until ballots close!

I’ve known John for a very long time. He’s Labour through & through. Has worked for , campaigned for and represented the party. It’s a real honour to get his endorsement. @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social

I'm standing on the @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social slate for this year's @labouruk.bsky.social National Policy Forum (NPF) elections. If you're a delegate from a NW CLP, or know who your delegates are, please get in touch, it would be great to chat 🌹

Delighted to have my NEC candidacy endorsed by Richard Corbett who was a colleague when I started working in the Socialist Group secretariat in the European Parliament. He went on to be a brilliant MEP , leader of Labour’s MEPs and a passionate anti-Brexit voice. @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social
