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.

1/8

This is unlike the Reform UK, Green and Liberal Democrat candidates, who have all been asked to participate.

2/8

This is hardly an evidence-based approach. While Dave’s campaign has put out three leaflets across the constituency and attracted hundreds of volunteers, these candidates’ campaigns have been extremely low key.

This says a lot about who the real anti-establishment candidate is in Thursday's by-election!

4/8

The BBC won't let us speak to voters in #Erdington, but that's not going to stop us doing it ourselves - come and hear more about why Dave is standing, and what a socialist MP on a worker's wage would do for people in Birmingham at our pre-election rally this evening.

5/8

It's being held at 7pm tonight, Tuesday 1st March, at the Erdington Club, 33 Sutton New Road B23 6TD - all welcome.

And can you help the campaign as we head into the last few days? For more info on how, get in touch on nellistforerdington.com/join.html

And can you spare a donation to support TUSC? Unsurprisingly, we have no big business backers, so all donations big and small are gratefully received over at nellistforerdington.com/donate.html
