Andy Burham (2010) forever
Did Labour pick the wrong Miliband?
In this week's 'Since Attlee & Churchill' podcast, @LeeDavidEvansUK and I relitigate the 2010 Labour leadership election.
[Spoiler alert: I voted for Diane Abbott]

NEW: Members of the Co-operative Party have been told that Caitlin Prowle will become interim general secretary
Incumbent Joe Fortune was selected by Labour’s ruling NEC last week to be their GS
Prowle, a former Labour adviser and GMB officer, is the youngest ever Co-op GS at just 28

I'm absolutely delighted to see @FortuneJF appointed General Secretary of the Labour Party. Joe has the passion, experience and ideas to get the Party where it needs to be - I'm so excited to see how he takes us forward
Joe Fortune has been appointed as Labour’s next general secretary by a unanimous vote of the NEC (from a shortlist of one)
A source close to Fortune said:
"Joe has a proven record leading and running a political party and is respected across the labour movement for his near two decades of service.
"He will be an fantastic asset to the Labour Party at this crucial moment."

It's true! I'm gutted to have left the brilliant team at @labourunionsuk and I have huge shoes to fill at ASLEF, but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this role and working hard to get the very best for our train drivers and our railway 🚄✊🌹

This disgraceful act took place just days after the murder of a senior politician, the third of my colleagues in a decade.
It is a shared responsibility of all of us in our democracy to call out and condemn violence and threats against politicians.
I hope the Green Party leadership takes appropriate action this time.

Today's Royal Assent for the steel nationalisation bill is huge.
Ministers have saved the UK steel industry.
Now we need commitments to buy British for public infrastructure.
And we need a worker voice on the board of the new nationalised company - to keep British steel alive.

For too long maternity pay for teachers has been too poor.
Today our Labour government is taking a first step towards changing that — doubling the number of weeks at full pay.
With Labour, change is coming for school staff.

@jayrayner1 If you had to list 1 resturant In SE London to visit, what would be your ultimate pick?

Enough already.
ALT Enough already. I’ve kept my counsel so far because there were assurances from the Prime Minister that anonymous briefings against Andy Burnham would stop. These gutless people hide behind the cloak of anonymity - just like the keyboard warriors they rail against. Well, if they want to know what it took to turn devolution from a nice idea into a living, breathing, delivering reality, I’d happily debate them. If they want to know about the bravery it took to break ranks in cabinet to get an independent panel to investigate the unlawful killing of 97 British citizens - bring it on. If they want to know what the use of political power is - then we can compare which campaigns they have assisted with compared to Andy. But of course that would require them to go on the record. These anonymous attacks help nobody but our opponents. For the sake of our party, please just stop.

#OnThisDay in 1855 Eleanor Marx, a co-founder of our union, was born.
She was at the forefront of the fight for the 8 hour working day and consistently fought for justice & equality.
Today we celebrate all her achievements 👏
