CHAMPIONS 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

Ofsted must be reformed.

Parents know it, school staff know it, Labour knows it.

A Labour government would end headline grades and introduce new report cards.

When will the Tories finally follow Labour’s lead in the interest of parents, pupils and staff?

Across the country people are switching to today’s changed Labour Party so we can change Britain together.

Voting Labour on Thursday 2 May is the first step towards a mission-led Labour government.

Could we have a general election, please?

The #BlackpoolSouth by-election is this week! It was a pleasure to head to the seaside to support Chris Webb. Chris ran my office in the European Parliament, so it will be fantastic to have him join me on the green benches. He'll be a great champion for Blackpool.

Absolutely devastated at watching Scunthorpe United FC lose on penalties yesterday 💔 another season in NLN is depressing and some big changes will be made.Changes that have to be made to allow this town to still have a football club to go and support in years to come. #UTI

#OTD 1992. Betty Boothroyd is elected as speaker of the House of Commons - the first woman in its 700 year history.

She would later claim: “I came out of the womb into the Labour movement...It’s like miners’ coal dust underneath your fingernails. Difficult to scrub out”

The Poulter defection brings back happy memories of similar ahead of 1997. Morale is important in a campaign and this will hurt Tory morale and boost Labour’s

How can a modern advanced country full of intelligent competent people end up with this ridiculous “solution” to the Brexit trade disaster? It’s a national embarrassment foisted on us by the flag-obsessed Brexit pretend-patriots.

Penny is being filled and some running totals are already in with Ashby leading the way!

Get involved and down to your local shop and adopt your own penny today. Help your shop overtake Ashby or cement Ashby as the leaders. Together we will turn those pennies into pounds!

Of course defections are very rare from governing parties. 3 in the lifetime of a parliament is a lot.

Game over. And out. What a season! #Uti

💥Former minister & Tory MP Dan Poulter is quitting Tories & joining Labour. Writing in Observer: “I am resigning from the Tory party and crossing the floor. Only Labour wants to restore our NHS” > huge blow for Sunak ahead of local elections

theguardian.com/politics/comme…

When I was an MP previously, I often wondered why Dan was a Conservative MP. Fair play to him for having the courage of his convictions and for being honest about the state of the Conservative Party today. They are not fit to be in office.

It’s penalties Oh no! Cmon u Iron!!!

“I find it increasingly difficult to look my NHS colleagues in the eye”
