We made Waspi women a promise that must be honoured.

When we stood shoulder to shoulder with them, it wasn't for a photo opportunity, it was in solidarity.

The campaign is not over.

A vote for Labour is to vote for a party who will say anything to get power

I'm sorry Mr. L. but it's now obvious to absolutely everyone that your Labour Party simply lied to the public just to gain power.

And as this piece in the BBC considers, you've probably just gifted UK politics to Farage and the extreme right in doing so. 🤬

I am pleased to see you take an honourable stance Richard. It's a huge shame that there are no others @labourhame.com @anassarwar.bsky.social who have the moral rectitude to do likewise.

"When we stood shoulder to shoulder with them, it wasn't for a photo opportunity, it was in solidarity." It was for a photo opportunity, if there was no pushback Richard wouldn't be saying a word

How many more Labour lies before some of you acknowledge that Starmer is taking the Labour Party in the wrong direction for the most vulnerable in our community? Or is socialism such a dirty word now?

Though I am sure you are sincere in this there is a tweet where you respondef to Nicola Sturgeon saying only Labour would fix this wrong. That was clearly trying to make political capital out of this.

Not only is this not true, but the ombudsman has been ignored.

Shameful.

When are you going to realise you're in the wrong party, Richard? Labour hasn't been socialist in a long time.

Good try, but no cigar. You have no power, your branch office has no power, your leader Sarwar has no power. You campaigned on a lie to get Waspi Women votes. Own it.

How long before you blame the SNP for this shambles?
