Congratulations @Ashley__Dalton, our candidate for the West Lancashire by-election. 12 years of Conservative government are hitting families in West Lancs hard. We need an MP that’s on our side. Ashley will stand up for West Lancs and be a strong champion for our community.

Congratulations to @Ashley__Dalton on being selected as the candidate, for the JDC by-election. I am humbled to have been shortlisted, with two formidable Labour women like you and Emma Fox. 1/2

As a proud Lancashire lass, it is a privilege to be Labour’s candidate for West Lancashire.   As a mum, a carer, and a cancer survivor, I know we can’t afford the Conservatives. Britain needs a fresh start. West Lancs needs an MP on their side. I will fight for our community.

Huge congratulations Ashley. I know you’ll be a powerful voice for the people of West Lancashire in Parliament. Looking forward to the campaign!

This you? We’re out campaigning all day, every day to make sure we win in West Lancashire. Pop into our campaign centre at the Dream Centre, 358 Carfield in Skelmersdale to be part of the team - winningwestlancs.co.uk. Be part of history. Join our campaign.

Lovely lunch in the diner at West Lancs Butchers with Lucy Powell MP, Bill Esterson and Simon Lightwood MP. Such a lovely local business in the heart of Skelmersdale. Thanks for having us!

The damage is done.

Thank you to everyone in Skelmersdale who spoke with me on the doorstep today - and to everyone who has been out so far to support our campaign.

Mortgages are going up more in this country than elsewhere because the Conservatives crashed the economy. Penny Maudant, in the unexplained absence of Liz Truss, blamed international circumstances. Until they accept responsibility, the government simply won't rebuild confidence.

Today I met with local campaigners at Altcar Moss and spoke with them about my opposition to fracking. It is so disappointing that the Government has tonight rejected our plan to ban it. I want to be clear: with me, and with Labour, there will no fracking in West Lancashire.

This is what Tory MPs think of their own government.

No one voted for this.

OMG… 😊🕺 Do me a favour Labour Twitter and sign up to help elect the brilliant @CllrSDixon on Thursday and I promise never to dance in Chester again. 👉🏻 events.labour.org.uk/event/364557

So pleased to officially launch my campaign today with Angela Rayner. After 13 years of Conservative Government, they’ve left us all worse off and our public services in crisis. Join our campaign and tell the Conservatives: time’s up. 👉winningwestlancs.co.uk

Winning in West Lancashire is the next step on the path to the next Labour government. But we need your help to deliver it and to tell the Conservatives their time’s up. It's time for change. Join our campaign: winningwestlancs.co.uk.

West Lancashire needs a strong voice to fight for the NHS we all deserve - and to stand up for us through the Conservatives' cost of living crisis. If I'm elected on 9 February, I will spend every day fighting for you.

I came into politics to do things and change things. After 13 years of Tory chaos, with our economy and NHS in crisis, it's time for long-term solutions not a short-term fix. That's what my Labour government will deliver.

Local people want change. I’m standing to deliver it. It’s time for a fresh start.
