We must fight for our public services, support our trade unions, uphold our democratic principles, defend our Trans+ comrades, free Palestine, and show solidarity to Ukraine. I hope we can grow Mainstream into a place where we achieve this in collaboration with other Left groups.

And while I know it may seem naive, I think it is absolutely worth the effort, even if it's the last thing I do in Labour.
I share Mainstream's goals of:
- Taxing the wealth of the richest.
- Securing public ownership of utilities.
- Ending the two-child benefit limit.

This comes at a time of seismic change in the overall landscape with the Green's leadership election, the creation of "Your Party", etc. But my main hope is still that, as the Left, we are able to be frank about where we differ and better collaborate on where we come together.

Andrea understands what it is to be a member of UNISON, she listens to all of the different perspectives in our union, and has delivered for every one of us. This isn't just "politics", it's about enabling ALL of us to come together as members to fight for each other's rights.

As a young, queer trade unionist I strongly feel that the best chance of having our voices heard lies with Andrea. Please read the manifesto and consider how it aligns with your own experiences.

These steps won’t end the slaughter alone, but that doesn’t make them any less urgent. I strongly disagreed with the UK’s preconditions for recognising the state of Palestine, but even if I hadn’t, surely this plan shows a blatant dismissal of the very idea of those conditions.
