Thank you @AstonUni_Labour I look forward to working alongside Labour societies to build a vibrant, democratic, socialist movement, which has been long overdue for students.

Aston University Labour Society endorses Jess for Chair of Young Labour! A committed Trade Unionist and campaigner against austerity. With her experience as a youth worker, and as a local councillor, we can be sure she will fight against the onslaught of cuts to public services.

Firefighters have taken up a range of additional duties to get us through this crisis - from driving ambulances to helping out care homes. I fully support the @fbunational call for a moratorium on fire cuts. Let's finally end austerity and invest in our fire services.

As a Firefighter who responds to horrific road traffic collisions, sometimes fatal, can I pls advise: DO NOT DRIVE if you have any concerns about your vision. You will likely present a serious danger to yourself & others. Seek medical advice. #RoadSafety #PublicSafety

Yesterday Boris Johnson considered saving his political adviser more important than saving the lives of the people he is sworn to protect. If a single life is lost because of his shameless conduct & the cowardice of the ministers who supported him, it will be on all their heads
