The Government has known for years that the EU's new Entry Exit System (EES) was coming into force, and yet somehow the Home Office has failed to work with EU to ensure that we will have streamlined systems up and running by the time it is operational. 1/2

Our team out this morning in East Folkestone and getting a great reaction. This constituency looks very much like it's going to show Damian Collins the door at the next election. We're not taking anything for granted though and we will keep working hard. Come and join us!

Town after town. City after city. Parents can’t find the childcare they need.

The Tories can’t deliver their own promises.

Labour wants high quality early education and childcare in every community — affordable, accessible, and available.

Thanks BBC South East for covering. This protest sent a clear message to the Tory MP and Southern Water: people are angry and won’t let you get away with this.

Don’t dump sewage #DumpDamo #TorySewageCrisis #Folkestone #Hythe

Fantastic event this morning standing up to sewage dumping - strong turnout & universal anger at the Tory MP, his voting record & Southern Water. And brilliant to hear from Elane from SOS Whitstable on their valuable work and how we can follow it in F&H. 💪🏊‍♂️🌊

#DumpDamo

Folkestone MP, Damian Collins - who VOTED TO ALLOW water companies to dump 💩 in our sea - says he's taking action by meeting with Southern Water. I think he knows he's facing a wipeout. Please join us at 11am on Sunny Sands tomorrow to say enough Tory 💩

Although bemused at the Tory MP’s utter failure to take responsibility for his part in this crisis:

💩Voting against stricter rules against sewage dumping TWICE.

💩Doing nothing to hold Southern Water to account

Very important that The Bar Council Chair has made the link between Garrick membership and inequality in the legal profession and judiciary:

“Where progression from the legal profession into the judiciary relies on references, [closed doors and exclusionary spaces] create the

The national minimum wage is one of the great policy successes of our time.

But it's opponents at the time said it wouldn't work.

Just as opponents of Labour's New Deal for Working People say now.

They were wrong then. They are wrong now.

Environment Agency figures released today show that 2023 was the worst ever year recorded for sewage releases into our water. Here in Folkestone & Hythe we saw over 1000 hours of 💩 released. Join us on Sunny Sands on Monday at 11am to say enough is enough

Our team were out on the doorstep in Broadmead this morning and getting a great reaction. A general election will almost certainly be this year and we are prepping hard. Everything we are hearing on the doorstep suggests that Labour could take this seat from Damian Collins 🗳️✔️🌹

Happy #IWD2024 !

I agree with everything our Society of Labour Lawyers Chair Catherine Atkinson for Derby North says:

“International Women’s Day is always an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women and is a call to action which acknowledges that more work needs to be done. We’ve had women serving in our

Abolutely agree. If the Government doesn't get their bit right, the disruption is going to paralyse East Kent.

To recap, under the new post-Brexit system, all first-time travellers between the UK & EU will have to register their biometric data, taking 5-7 minutes per person.
