It's been reported that some former party staff could drop their lawsuits against Labour if Jeremy Corbyn is expelled from Labour membership.

The Labour Right want to push the left out of the party. But Jeremy is staying in Labour and so is our movement. 1/6
We have to elect Grassroots Voice candidates to Labour's NEC who will defend Jeremy and our movement's place in the party and fight for the popular socialist policies we need to elect a Labour government in 2024 and the policies we need to change society for the better. 2/6
Here's what you can do to help:

1. If you've resigned from Labour, rejoin now so you can vote in the NEC elections, help us defend Jeremy and defend the left and build a party that can win power in 2024 and fight for the future our country needs. 3/6 join.labour.org.uk

Congratulations to @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner on their election as leader and deputy. We look forward to working with you both to elect a Labour government that will carry out the kind of transformational policies our country needs. 1/8
We also want to thank @RLong_Bailey for running a principled, left wing campaign full of big ideas, building on the programme she has worked on for the last four years. 2/8
In four and a half years, Jeremy Corbyn and the movement around him has changed our party and country for the better, giving a voice to the hopes of millions who felt unrepresented in politics.  3/8

1/ THREAD - Who's behind the Brexit Party?

There's been a rise in support for the Brexit Party - it's proponents consider it to be an anti-establishment, bottom-up movement - steered in large part by the working class.

The evidence, however, indicates the opposite.

2/ FUNDING

Latest figures from the Electoral Commission show just after the Brexit party launched, it received £1m from right-wing millionaires and Tory donors - all of whom have off-shore interests.

3/ FUNDING

Richard Smith, a millionaire business-owner, donated £100,000. Smith is noted to have funded the relocation of right-wing group, TaxPayers' Alliance.

Tax Payers Alliance are known for pushing deregulation and calling for tax cuts for the wealthy.
