We need an independent inquiry into this as the Labour Party cannot be trusted to to do any disciplinary properly. Anti-Black racism is rife in the Labour Party, MPs close to the current leader are routinely protected for racist remarks

This is appalling. Bad for passengers. Bad for disability access. Bad for transport workers. Bad for public safety. What sort of vision of "modernisation" is that?

Despite ongoing discussions and in-person meetings with ScotRail, no solutions have been offered to end the dispute about out-of-hours working arrangements. Proud to join our @TSSAunion members at the Edinburgh picket! #ScotRail #TSSA #Dispute

Sadly all too common to hear racist conspiracy theories such as "muslim plot" but anyone espousing those views shouldn't be allowed anywhere near being a Labour candidate. The Party must come out IMMEDIATELY and make clear it is not supporting any candidate with racist views

A Labour councillor was suspended from the party for alleged racism In texts, she described a landslide vote to oust her friend as a "muslim plot" and threatened to remove BAME councillors from positions of responsibility Yet -she's still on May's ballot

It is incumbent upon all of us to speak out against injustice, @HackneyAbbott has had the whip removed for over a year for speaking about the racism she suffers. It is imperative that she has the whip reinstated without any pressure for her to stand down as a @UKLabour candidate
