A productive evening at Ashton-under-Lyne CLP with Angela Rayner. Good discussions on next year’s local council selections and building momentum behind Bev Craig for the Manchester mayoral campaign. Looking forward to the work ahead! 🌹 #Labour

Excuse me @Nigel_Farage, how come you blamed “incompetent staff” for your empty audience? Claiming that businesses are too busy to attend these events on Mondays? This event held by Labour - on Monday 09/10/2023 attracted 200 senior business people, with another 180 waiting.

An absolute privilege to meet @lowles_nick, founder of HOPE not hate, at our CLP this evening. I’m a huge fan of the work he does challenging racism and the far right, so it was brilliant to hear him speak in person. An incredible speech and a really inspiring evening. ✊❤️

The Manchester Mill asks whether the ITV investigation into Reform exposed Labour hypocrisy. But why has an investigation exposing racist and sexist comments by Reform figures, including a Tameside councillor, become a debate about Labour? 🧵 1/7
An ITV investigation exposed racism in Reform — did it also expose hypocrisy in Labour? The documentary showed Reform figures across the UK espousing racist and sexist views, including Tameside councillor Raymond Dunning. He's resigned and is now an Independent...

Why does scrutiny of Reform so quickly become a debate about whether Labour is entitled to criticise it? Of course we are. And Reform can criticise Labour. But criticism should be answered with accountability, not whataboutery. 🧵 6/7

I’ll never claim Labour is perfect. But I’ll stand against racism, sexism and political violence, whoever is responsible. Calling out racism isn’t hypocrisy. We shouldn’t have to prove our own party is perfect before challenging unacceptable behaviour. 🧵7/7

As if he doubled down on the racist language when he was confronted to his face about it. Vile human being
'It’s not a surprise that people with uncivilised views on race want to join you.' @Lewis_Goodall tells Matt Goodwin that the ‘bad apples don’t fall far from the tree’ after Reform councillors were filmed making racist remarks.

Raymond Dunning has reportedly been referred to Greater Manchester Police following comments filmed during an undercover investigation. I haven’t yet addressed the full extent of what was said, and people need to understand why this is so serious. 🧵 1/5 tamesidecorrespondent.co.uk/…

The matter has now reportedly been referred to the police. Any potential criminality must be assessed properly, and the process must be allowed to take its course. But we cannot pretend these comments are acceptable simply because they came from a politician. 🧵 4/5

Our politics must never become a space where violence against political opponents is normalised. We can disagree passionately without threatening one another. Our communities deserve decency, responsibility and leadership - not hatred and intimidation. 🧵5/5

Nigel Farage would not answer my questions around the racism and sexism in his party when he walked through an Essex town centre today. Instead his ‘bodyguard’ whom I told not to touch me, told me, ‘I can do whatever I want’.

I’m appalled by the comments attributed to Tameside Reform councillor Raymond Dunning in ITV’s undercover investigation. What he reportedly proposed goes far beyond a debate about immigration. It should concern anyone who values basic human rights. 🧵 1/5

As someone aspiring to represent my community in Tameside, I believe public office comes with responsibility. Our words matter, especially when they can fuel hostility towards people who are already vulnerable. Leadership should never mean making people afraid. 🧵4/5

Tameside deserves better. We need representatives who tackle real problems, bring communities together and treat people with dignity. I will always stand against politics that replaces compassion with cruelty and tries to divide us against one another. 🧵5/5
