@compassoffice.bsky.socialWe're speaking about public ownership of water at #LabourConference2026 w/ @serauk.bsky.social, @sascampaigns.bsky.social & @labourlewis.bsky.social.
Our privatised water system is broken. 92% of Labour members back public ownership. It's not only essential, is feasible.
@makevotesmatter.bsky.socialIt's brilliant to see so much support for Proportional Representation at Labour Conference today!
Thank you for championing a fairer democracy @labourlewis.bsky.social @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social @paulsweeney.bsky.social

@compassoffice.bsky.social"If we don't genuinely empower local councils, whatever we do at a national level will fail... People don't feel control over their daily lives and there is no way for people to express that."
@ellybakeram.bsky.social, London Assembly Member #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"Labour has been the party of devolution throughout the country, but we don't have devolution within our own party."
Mark Drakeford, Former First Minister of Wales #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.socialWhat Labour can bring when working with other progressives:
"[Because of our history] we have a belief in collective action. How people organise and act together. We can be at the forefront of the organising."
Mark Drakeford, Former First Minister of Wales #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"If we can’t work with ourselves, how are we going to work with others who we need to work on issues with?"

@compassoffice.bsky.socialThe amount of NEU members who voted Labour just a few years ago was 60%.
That went down to barely 18% in latest polling.
Debra Beale, National President of the NEU herself left the Labour Party after Keir Starmer's "Island of Strangers" speech in 2025. #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"Our members want to see Labour reinvesting properly in public services."

@compassoffice.bsky.social"The way that we have fought recent mayoral elections, we’ve been very focused on our squeeze vote … but we’ve been losing our core vote."
@ellybakeram.bsky.social, London Assembly Member #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"This comes down to us working out what we stand for again… we have to say, on big issues, this is what Labour stands for."
@ellybakeram.bsky.social, London Assembly Member #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"Democracies erode when progressive parties spend more time attacking one another over nuances."
Mark Drakeford, Former First Minister of Wales #LabourConference2026
@compassoffice.bsky.social"The last few years have taught us that the political settlement that built Labour has changed."
In a multi-party system, it's likely no Burnham bounce will hand Labour a majority in 2029. Could it lead a progressive majority instead?
Lena Swedlow, Compass Deputy Director #LabourConference2026
@mainstreamlabour.bsky.socialOur friends at @serauk.bsky.social challenging the CAC’s decision to rule out our joint motion calling for public ownership of water.
Privatised water has failed. We need public ownership now - and Labour must be able to debate bold ideas to achieve real change.
@jameslowery88.bsky.socialThis is sadly indicative of current UK political media, where shills like #Kuenssberg are so obsessed by capturing a gotcha moment in an interview that they lose sight of everything else.
@makevotesmatter.bsky.socialWe're here in front of Labour Conference with a message to all delegates: vote for a fairer democracy!
Remember to pick "electoral reform" in the priorities ballot!
@vaughanwest.bsky.socialCalm before the storm
