Devolution is about making decisions here. Why are people in London
@UKLabour
HQ taking me out? Why don’t we let local members choose their candidate?
The North East needs someone who’ll put region ahead of Party.
Here’s my

The "Party of the People" decide that the people shouldn't decide.
As per Brecht, the Party must soon select another people.
"Hi, I'm looking for the famous Starmer House of Integrity?" "Sorry Mate, it was knocked down years ago"

Hiding behind the Labour Party facade has made fools of too many so-called socialists. Stand for what you believe in or don't stand at all.

Jamie, does your patch cover either of the freeports in the North East? I have a sneaking suspicion that Labour London wants "yes men" in control over ANY region with a free port in it. I suspect there is a corruption issue brewing behind the scenes.

Hve u opposed Freeports? Opposed denationalised health ie the replacement of a single, universal NHS with 42 shrunken American Integrated Care Systems? Freeports/devolution/ICS= unelected boards of businessmen profiting from our cities/regions & public assets- not decisions by us

Personally, I looking forward to
@MayorJD
interviewing Nick Griffin about his time at university. After all, what’s the difference between a racist on the left and a racist on the right?

Haha that Mic drop about the Loach funding ;-)
And indeed, I think Keir might be getting jealous of the attention and popularity of people that aren’t him.

I think it's appalling that the members from the local group cannot make the decision on who stands and who doesn't, didn't Starmer once say we need clarity in local government for local members 🤔
@MayorJD
@UKLabour
@BBCNEandCumbria
Spot on about everything. It's a disgrace that Labour think it's totally acceptable to prevent democracy for fractional gain.

Jamie from what I’ve seen and read you seem
A really decent guy good luck I am pleased you are standing up for both your self and democracy. Your local residents should decide who they want. Not someone hundreds of miles away.
