Lovely to catch up with Corby at Gresley Rovers ground where the brilliant Miles for smiles were holding a music festival. 🎶🎸🥁🎤🎹

And what gorgeous weather for it! ☀️

I had my second frozen treat of the day!

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being SO VERY BRITISH SUMMERTIME…

What would you score the sound of leather on willow…? 🏏❤️☀️

A lovely time had today speaking with people on their doorsteps in Aston on Trent.

Many delighted we’d been to say hello & heard their concerns, from immigration to the state of the NHS & our education system.
Lots of people ready for change. 🌹

Get yourself along to Swadlincote Fire Station today where they’ve got their charity plant sale.

🌹💐🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🥀🪻

The little pots were £1.50 and the bigger pots £3.

I bagged this little lot for £18. 🎉🙌🏻❤️

Wonderful time today speaking with Angela Sargent who was a third generation tenant farmer for 33 years until 2022. Her work continues with rabi.org.uk

I am always so inspired by the resilience of farmers. If elected MP I will always have their backs!

Sorry, WHOSE tax rises?!

I’ve corrected this for you Jeremy Hunt

Seems the Chancellor has forgotten we’ve had 25 Tory tax rises since they were elected again in 2019!

Ugh, there is so much more of this pathetic game playing to come ahead of the general election. 🙄

I keep reflecting on what Wes Streeting MP said yesterday, and how just ONE of Keir Starmer ‘s first steps would make a significant impact to people, and we have SIX already. 🙌🏻

All fully costed. 🌹

It was announced that Derbyshire CC are planning to privatise or close care homes across Derbyshire.

In South Derbyshire we’re at risk of losing Castle Court Care Home in Castle Gresley.

You can help our fight to stop this by signing our petition here:

Great to join Wes Streeting MP in Codnor with the brilliant Cllr Linsey Farnsworth 🌹, hopeful future MP for Amber Valley to launch The Labour Party’s First Steps for the next potential Labour govt.

These are fully costed pledges that even individually would make a huge difference to people’s lives. 🙌🏻

Today I'm launching my six first steps for change. Fully costed, fully funded and ready to go.

No gimmicks. No sticking plasters.

My changed Labour Party will roll up our sleeves, do the hard graft and deliver for Britain.

I was so excited to be at Buckingham Palace today for a garden party in the presence of Their Majesties the King and Queen celebrating the creative industry. ❤️
The next Labour govt. will break down barriers to opportunity to all and help this sector to thrive!

#CreativeIndustry

Incredible afternoon in the grounds of Buckingham Palace celebrating the creative industries.

Excited for what a The Labour Party govt. would do to help ‘create’ growth…

It was lovely to ‘meet’ online with some brilliant women in the midlands in the trade union movement.
🙌🏻

Where to start with this?

3.1 million food parcels delivered by Trussell Trust last year, double the number compared to 5 years ago.

On the Tories watch.

The generosity of foodbank supporters & volunteers is incredible but it shouldn’t be this way.

It is time for change.

Proud and excited!🌹

A busy, productive and fun morning over the border in the West Midlands with Labour colleagues. It’s really encouraging to know that Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner 🌹 want Mayors to take the lead when it comes to delivering growth for all parts of our country.

Sending all the love to Chris for his treatment and recovery.

I hope everyone sees and hears his warning about melanoma 👇🏻

Such a brave & positive message from Chris Bryant here. It’s given me some more guts ahead of my first mole mapping appointment on Wednesday for which I’d put off because I am really quite nervous.

Thank you, Chris. Here’s to a full recovery for you.

#MelanomaAwarenessMonth

Great to speak on a panel at Progressive Britain conference this weekend. The panel: AI & the opportunity a The Labour Party govt. has to leverage it & aid economic growth. The biggest thing Labour can do is provide regulatory certainty.
We also need to ensure we plug the #DigitalSkillsGap
