Young members put their faith in me as Chair of Young Labour to represent them. As a democratic socialist I stand with young members and their right to engage with the Labour party’s long standing democratic traditions. Now, more than ever, young people& #39;s voices need to be heard.

When thousands of young renters face eviction through no fault of their own, Labour’s leadership say that rent cancellation is “un-Labour”.

When thousands of young people march for black lives in a worldwide movement, Labour’s leadership condescend them and call it a “moment”.

When thousands of young people are concerned about the existential threat to the planet faced by the climate crisis, Labour’s leadership rows back in its commitment to the Green New Deal.

When we desperately need transformative policies - the type that Keir Starmer pledged to uphold during his leadership campaign - to rebuild our country, Labour’s leadership seems unwilling to even criticise the Tories for overseeing a national catastrophe.
