Later today, @bbcwm are holding their hustings for the #Erdington by-election. But Dave Nellist hasn't been invited.
Despite @TUSCoalition holding the biggest election launch of any candidate and generating lots of enthusiasm locally, we've been shut out out this debate.

Ian is president of the Baker’s Food and Allied Workers Union, which last September voted to break ties with the Labour Party due to it no longer representing the interests of ordinary workers, including those working in the food industry.

An incredible turnout for the final Saturday and Sunday before the by-election, with over 150 volunteers in #Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale and Perry Common over the weekend to let people know they can vote for a working class, socialist alternative on Thursday.

There were over 30 of us out campaigning for TUSC across #Erdington yesterday, talking to residents about how a socialist MP like Dave would fight the establishment on the issues affecting working class people, from rocketing energy bills to sorting out the housing crisis.
