Sad to say I'm leaving the Labour Party to be an independent councillor. I’ll continue to support our excellent local Labour Councils and will do everything I can to represent those being left behind by a broken national two-party political system.

@Martin_Abrams @StreathamSLLab I'm so sorry to hear this Martin. As Deputy Leader of Worthing Borough Council I was proud to represent our residents and write to the Prime Minister today to say we voted unanimously for an immediate ceasefire. You've been treated terribly by your local Labour Councillors.

@CWUnews The Royal Mail has 158,592 workers. If 1 person goes back to work one day and 2 the next day, its a 100% increase. Still leaves 158,590 workers on strike. As a @ucu statistics lecturer on strike, I dislike dodgy stats as much as dodgy chief executives. #ucuRISING #Solidarity
