Classy from the narrowly defeated Labour mayoral candidate in Croydon (lost by 1% when the Greens took 17%). Rowenna ran a great local campaign and has a big future when not attached to the Starmer drag anchor.
The Tories made big gains on Croydon council and RD nearly won against the swing. Labour will now spend months arguing about which way to turn. They’d be better off picking some high calibre MPs individuals like her and listening to them

Croydon, you have LESS THAN FOUR HOURS to determine the next four years.
Use your vote before polls close at 10pm!

Today, our borough has a big choice: let Croydon become a ghost town, or get our town centre back.
Please, use your vote today to turn things around.

Never forgotten. Remembering the 97 and all those affected by the Hillsborough disaster on the 37th anniversary. You are in our thoughts today and always.

Today, on the 37th anniversary of Hillsborough, I stood in the Commons as Parliamentary lead of the Hillsborough Law campaign and with a profound sense of obligation to the 97, their families including my constituent Debbie Matthews, survivors, and all victims of state cover‑ups.
I asked the Prime Minister to use the power of his office to make good on his promise to finally deliver a full Hillsborough Law that is worthy of the name.

“And the sun shines now.” The moving BBC radio commentary on the Hillsborough Disaster by Peter Jones. He never recovered from the trauma of Hillsborough. On 31 March 1990 he had a stroke during University Boat Race and died 36 hours later (aged 60).

Just thought I’d give you a look at my CCM Editorial for this current edition.

I’m not saying I’m right. Just saying I’m concerned and yes, money is DUE to go to the grassroots game.

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of.
Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

BREAKING: Today, Marcellus Williams asked the United States Supreme Court to stay his execution based on newly disclosed admissions by the trial prosecutor that he removed at least one Black prospective juror based on his race.

With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

The answer to this - ridiculous though it seems - is no.
@GeorgeDobell1 Has anymore come to light about the venues for the Pakistan series? Some of us poised to book flights - alas no idea where to!

.@innocence @the_mip client #MarcellusWilliams will be executed on Sept. 24 for a crime he didn't commit if @GovParsonMO does not step in. Join me in calling him now: 417-373-3400 shorturl.at/K7jDT #SaveMarcellus

ANDY KERR – A TRUE FRIEND AND COMRADE
We are writing to advise you of the deeply sad news that Andy Kerr our previous Deputy General Secretary Telecoms & Financial Services, passed away last night following a serious illness.
Many of you will have heard Andy’s truly inspirational address to our Conference in April, when he spoke passionately about his lifelong commitment to working class people as an active trade unionist and socialist.
We know that Andy and Andrea really appreciated the overwhelming support and kind personal messages that they received following the conference.
We personally held Andy in the highest esteem and we all know he made an immense contribution in representing our members, the CWU and the UK and international trade union and Labourmovement. As such, he will be sorely missed and will always be remembered as one of the most influential leaders in the history of the CWU and our predecessor unions.
Andy made clear to conference that his illness was very serious, nevertheless this news will still come as a shock to everybody who knew and respected Andy as a friend and colleague.
We know we speak on behalf of everybody in the CWU and the wider movement in expressing our sincere and heartfelt condolences to his wife Andrea, his children Matt and Mandy and his wider family.
Yours in solidarity
Dave Ward
General Secretary

Deputy General Secretary (T&FS)
