Great to be out on the doorstep yesterday campaigning with our brilliant #Labour candidate for Police & Crime Commissioner in the upcoming #LocalElections Daniel Steel alongside the incredible Kate Ewert 〓〓 🌹 & South East Cornwall Labour team. Remember to vote on May 2nd!

Wes Streeting’s reaction to Chris Philp having to ask a Question Time audience member if DRC is a different country to Rwanda is a level of side-eye I’ve not seen since Harry Hill was last on TV.

Great to be out canvassing in Southway this evening. Hearing how people want change and asking when we are having a general election. Vote Labour on the 2nd May-Plymouth local councill elections and send a clear message to London. 🎯 #plyouthlabour , #LabourDoorstep

The Tories trashed our city’s environmental reputation but Plymouth Labour has been rebuilding it.

With a week to go till the election, here’s a reminder of what our council has delivered for nature and net zero this year, plus what’ve got lined-up if re-elected.👇

The Tories aren't even winning the support of people who watch a right-wing channel where half of the presenters are current or former Conservative MPs...

Two sources tell me that the Chair of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Authority, Rebecca Knox, has decided to stand down from her role following last month's disastrous appearance before the Home Affairs Select Committee. She won't seek re-election.

New YouGov poll for Sky News reveals that 71% of 2019 Tory voters don't trust the party to keep its promises.

There's no coming back from that.

Really great to welcome Daniel Steel to the Rame Peninsula this afternoon, and to take him out canvassing with our brilliant Parliamentary candidate Anna Gelderd as well 🌹❤️

Judge ministers by what they do, not what they say.

The Tories have:
❌ Never matched Labour defence spending levels
❌ Cut the Army to the smallest size since Napoleon
❌ Missed their own recruitment targets every year
❌ Wasted over £15bn in bad procurement

Just sent this to our factually challenged Tory MP who doesnt live here. In fact.

Oh for god sake, make it stop. #GeneralElectionNow
