Another great session this afternoon with our MP, Darren Jones & a group of brilliant volunteers from around ALW & Bristol.

There were lots of people who had never voted in a local before but have decided to vote Labour because they’re tired of their invisible Tory cllrs.

I was delighted to welcome Darren Jones MP to #Ipswich on Thursday.

Darren spent the day talking to residents in Chantry, students at Suffolk New College, and businesses and other organisations at an event at the University of Suffolk.

We are determined to build a new future for Ipswich.

With Angela Rayner 🌹 and me, the next Labour government will rekindle the dream of homeownership for families across the country.

Labour will reform our planning system to deliver affordable homes, better public services, and improved green spaces across Britain.

Great day in East Anglia meeting businesses and students wanting to grab the opportunities Britain can offer.

With brilliant candidates Pam Cox Colchester Labour, Jack Abbott, Alice Macdonald Jenny Riddell-Carpenter helping us form a The Labour Party government we can get Britain’s future back.

The Tories thought taking our non-dom tax changes would stop us from funding:

🧑‍⚕️More NHS appointment

🦷 More dentist appointments, and

🍞Breakfast clubs at school

It didn’t.

But the Tories haven’t said how they’ll fund their £46bn plan to abolish national insurance?

A very lovely sunny morning out in Southmead and Henleaze with Kye Dudd and Kaz Self CEng MIMechE (retd) campaigning for the local elections today.

I was delighted to welcome Darren Jones MP, our brilliant Shadow Chief Treasury Secretary, to the Vale.

Darren and I share a common The Labour Party vision:

📈 An economy back on track
🛍️ Our high streets thriving again
☀️ A brighter tomorrow for the Vale

Brilliant to be out w Angela Rayner 🌹 & Rachel Reeves in Yarm today to launch The Labour Party plan for high streets
✅ more community police
✅ scrap & replace business rates
✅ banking hubs

Showing what a Labour Govt can do working together, instead of Tory chaos letting country down

A lovely afternoon talking to local people (and a few posties out doing their rounds!) in Horfield with Tom Renhard and Deborah and the team.

🚯 We're increasing fly-tipping fines to the legal maximum.

🫧 As well as acting as a deterrent, the fines will be directly reinvested into cleaning Bristol's streets.

I will take on tax dodgers to fund our NHS and schools.

I promised I would honour my commitment to find new funding - and I've stuck to my word.

Popped up to #Bristol to help Bristol Labour Group in their local election campaign today.

Good canvass session in Henbury this evening despite the rain and it is genuinely lovely being on the same canvass team as Darren Jones MP again! Good luck to local candidates Wendy and Peter here

🌹 'With an experienced Labour council here in Bristol, working in partnership with what we hope will be a Labour Government nationally, we can really start to turn the page on 14 years of failure of the Conservatives.' - Darren Jones MP

Great to be with Will Stone in Swindon yesterday.

In the middle of Rishi’s recession, with a double tax whammy on working people, it’s a hard time to run a small business.

A Labour government will reform business rates, support small business and revive our high streets.

Giving with one hand and taking with another - that's Rishi Sunak's tax plan.

Families know they are worse off under the Tories. It's time for an election. It's time for change.

It took years for Rishi Sunak to U-turn and drop his opposition to abolishing the non-dom status.

But buried in the small print of his plan is a £400 million-a-year loophole that will benefit some of the wealthiest people in Britain.

Isreal must answer questions about the killing of aid workers in Gaza.

British arms cannot be used to commit a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

If those conditions have been breached, then it’s time to suspend the sale of those arms to Isreal.

The next Labour government will work with Sadiq Khan to boost economic growth, create jobs, and unlock even more of London's potential.

Inspiring to see some of that happening already The Crick today.
