My changed Labour Party is totally committed to our nation’s defence. 
 
We back our Armed Forces. We back our nuclear deterrent. We back Britain.

Given how limited the Tory legislation has turned out to be, we will need more than 100 days to get it right but Labour’s commitment to bringing the archaic and iniquitous leasehold system to an end and making commonhold the default remains unchanged and resolute.

Life moves fast. I’m sat waiting up for our eldest to come back from a party. I don’t remember appreciating my parents for doing the same, back in the day. Frankly, now, I’m as tired as I am in need of appreciation from my daughter for waiting up! 😴

If you haven’t signed up for a postal vote, you still can.

Sometimes life will get in the way of voting but voting will always affect your life! So be sure to vote, and vote by post.

It’s the quickest and easiest way to vote Labour 🌹

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER…

Music makes my life infinitely better. It enriches it everyday. I prefer to work with the loudest possible music piped into my ears or blasting from speakers.

It touches all aspects of living well. It lifts my mood,…

The Good Friday Agreement, signed 26 years ago today, is one of Labour’s proudest achievements.

Courageous leadership like Mo Mowlam's finally ended the Troubles, bringing peace to Northern Ireland.

We celebrate the progress made since then and must never take it for granted.

This is why Nic is voting Labour on Thursday 2 May 👇
