Morgan McSweeney has resigned - now help us remove the party that created him! We're out canvassing all this week for his worst nightmare. Sign up to help us: lambeth.greenparty.org.uk/events/
A quote from Sky News reading: "Mr McSweeney got his big break for Labour working at Lambeth Council with Steve Reed, the current housing secretary, who would later introduce him to the man who would go on to be Labour leader. Working at the south London council gave McSweeney his first taste of taking on his opponents of the left - a theme that would come to define his ascent to the very top of the Labour Party." Quote from Alexandra Rogers, Sky News, “From Svengali to sacked: Who is Morgan McSweeney, the prime minister's departed chief of staff?”

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

"The government's claim that it is considering new gas investment to “keep bills down” is, therefore, nonsense. Bills are high precisely because we refuse to reform this pricing system."

The @greenparty.org.uk are on the rise. So many ex-Labour members have not only joined us but are organising to replace Labour as they see a party that they can once more believe in.

For social, environmental, economic and racial justice. 💚

Just one more reason why Lambeth Labour are not putting Lambeth residents first. Public money must go to public services that are crumbling as every layer of our government is being asset stripped for private profit.

Maybe talk to constituents like me instead of talking amongst yourselves.
Classic Principle Skinner meme where he considers whether he is out of touch, but concludes that it is the children that are wrong. The caption has been changed to refer to the Labour party instead. It says sarcastically "Is the labour party out of touch? No, it's the constituents who are wrong!"
