They ignored all the warnings.
Now Tory Ministers are utterly failing in their duty to make voters aware of their unnecessary voter ID policy.

The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election.

#OnThisDay 1900: 129 trade unionists and socialists met in London to establish “a distinct Labour group in Parliament” that would promote legislation in “the direct interests of labour.”
The Labour Representation Committee, renamed the Labour Party in 1906, was born.

On Friday I confronted Suella Braverman's use of hateful language. She refused to apologise. We must always challenge the language of hate. The Home Office demanded the video be taken town. They seem not to realise we are still a democracy.
The Home Office is seeking the removal of our video of Joan's exchange with Suella Braverman.
But we are standing our ground.
