Humbled to have Ann Black's endorsement for Labour Party NEC #AnnBlack @labouruk.bsky.social

Labour: it's time for Proportional Representation #Labour4PR www.labourforanewdemocracy.org.uk/its-time-for.... Please sign your name against the ask.

I had to get down how I felt about the whole Mandelson, McSweeney and Starmer affair. Take a read of my substack piece here. Thanks for reading. tinyurl.com/mv3asxfd #MorganMcSweeney #PeterMandelson

My new shiny NEC website, all the NEC reports, news and how to get in contact: share.google/ehXI2AmLt6LL...

I want to dedicate #IWD love to #VirginiaGiuffre. I'm reading #Nobody'sGirl which is shocking and gruelling, but important that I read her journey, telling others of it. Her bravery, unearthed the world's biggest international trafficking ring, which is quickly unravelling. Peace & respect Virginia💔

Time that L2Win project left the stage, so that we can instill democracy and integrity to our party via NEC and NPF. Please nominate Mainstream candidates through your Labour Groups and at CLP. If they are due to nominate soon, please let us know. Thanks Cat!

Hi, I wanted to make clear, contrary to some press reports, not all NEC members made the permission decision yesterday re: @andyburnham.bsky.social. It was just officers who voter (9 of ten). I would have voted for Andy Burnham to be able to stand, he's one of our best chances of beating Reform.

Thank you @annblack.bsky.social you have been such a wonderful guide and a real inspiration to me outside of the NEC and now within. I trully appreciate your support. Best wishes for your well earned retirement. You really deserve it.

With @gwynnemp.bsky.social standing down, here are my thoughts on the upcoming by-election selection process. As always members demand and should expect choice in their candidates. news.sky.com/story/politi...

Thrilled to be standing with these formidable candidates for Labour Party's NEC. Please do get in contact if you have any questions and let us/we know when your NEC nomination meetings are. Thanks Cat

Absolutely agree, we have to go after the dark money that fuels the far right, polarising agenda too.

A short statement from me following the outcome of yesterday's selection panel interview.

Thank you @serauk.bsky.social for your endorsement. The fight against the climate crisis starts here in Sussex. Together, we’ll lead the way with clean energy, better transport, warm homes and thriving nature for every community in Sussex.

Fabulous to be out for the Ashdown and Conquest by-election in Hastings, with the team from @HastingsandRyeLabourParty for their wonderful candidate #AmandaPollard. Some great support for Amanda, lots of people loved her NHS credentials. The by-election is on 20th November 2025. 🌹

As a proud @unison.org.uk member, I’m really grateful for this nomination. UNISON members are the backbone of our public services. As Mayor, I’ll always stand up for public service workers and fight for the fair pay, respect and conditions they deserve. Thank you!

Thank you Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven CLP for your nomination. I'm grateful for the support of members who gave up their Friday night to participate. Together, we can build a vision of a more inclusive and better connected Sussex that delivers the positive change our communities want to see.

I'm delighted to have the support of the union representing the people who keep Sussex connected. Thank you @cwunews.bsky.social for your nomination.

Thank you Disability Labour for your endorsement. A fair Sussex must be an accessible Sussex, where disabled people can live, work, travel and thrive with dignity and independence. As Mayor, inclusion across all fields will be a priority in every decision I make.

I'm really honoured to have the support of Lundy Mackenzie, chair of Young Labour South East. Lundy was a driving influence in reinvigorating Young Labour, turning it into a campaigning force that helped secure Labour wins across Sussex and beyond, locally and in last year’s General Election.

Thank you Bognor Regis & Littlehampton Labour Party for your nomination. I'm grateful to the members backing our campaign. Together, we'll raise Sussex's voice and be a model for how local leadership, backed by national ambition, can deliver real change for our communities.
