Further Govt disregard for school building safety:

Govt failed to undertake sufficient surveys before purchase of the Northampton International Academy building, leading to huge overspend (£40m) & failure to deal with concrete problems, inc RAAC (1/2) theguardian.com/education/2023…

When you thought you'd reached a new low, the legacy of austerity and this circus Tory government goes from disbelief to parody. Public buildings literally falling apart to pumping out effluence on our environment and communities. Stop.

Our committed (& now slightly soggy) #NorthamptonNorth Labour team were out talking to residents in Spring Park this morning ☔️

Lots of really good conversations about the change people want to see - thanks as ever to all who engaged with us 🙏👍

1/ Fire Brigades Union protest at the guildhall in Northampton. It is calling on the police, fire and crime commissioner Stephen Mold to resign after his decision to appoint inexperienced friend Nicci Marzec to chief fire officer. Marzec has resigned and now FBU want Mold gone.

It takes some brass neck to make this promise when you’ve served in governments over the last decade that have overseen a net loss of 165,000 social homes. (1/3)

Breaking down the barriers to opportunity for every child, at every stage.

That’s Keir Starmer's mission.

My plan for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

Vote for change. Vote Labour on Thursday 20 July. 👇🏻

#socialhousing an incredibly important subject in the round in the current context of mortgages. Investment in and sustainability of social housing is essential. The debate is engaging.

Your Northampton North Labour team out in St George today 👍

Lots of residents keen to talk to us about their priorities for Northampton & for the country 🇬🇧 Thank you to everyone who engaged with us 🙏🗣️

Whilst we all take a deep breath in and digest, perhaps we should ask how our own MP in #NorthamptonNorth Michael Ellis reflects on his staunch support of Boris around the matter. Or maybe skip to a more suitable representative Lucy Rigby #Labour when the time comes..

And the (not my) MP in Northampton North Michael Ellis backed up the 'misleading' statements in Parliament. Roll on the General Election so we can get a The Labour Party government with Keir Starmer into 10 Downing Street and Lucy Rigby as MP for Northampton North

“The heritage of Northampton is being affected.”

Couldn’t agree more. Decision by West Northants Tories to evict traders from Market Sq is killing traders & putting an end to c.800 years of Northampton’s historic market.

Action needed now to protect heritage & livelihoods.

Labour will make Britain a clean energy superpower - not only so we can slash energy bills and deliver energy security - but also so we can rebuild Britain's industrial heartlands with high quality jobs 🏗️👩🏼‍🔧

If we are to make Brexit work, we need a Labour government with Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, to work with European neighbours and deliver the stability Britain needs.

A damning indictment on the Tories’ 13 years in power. We *desperately* need a change of government.

Really good to talk to residents in Abington last night - lots of issues picked up & plenty of people desperate to see change.

We’ll be out again all day Saturday so if you want to come along & help put us on the path to a Labour Govt then get in touch 👍

There is no solution to the housing crisis that doesn’t involve building far more social homes.

The next The Labour Party will return social housing to the second largest tenure in the UK, and tilt the balance of power towards tenants 🏡🌹

New #homlessness figures from Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities reveal the detrimental impact of the shortage of #socialhousing :

Since 2011, families in temp accommodation have doubled and single households in temp accommodation have trebled.

We urgently need a long-term plan to build more #socialhousing

The tories will depth charge anyone or anything ahead of accountability #ToriesOut

Following the BoE telling us to accept we're are 'poorer' this suggests that isn't universal. Absolutely Incredulous. #CostOfLivingCrisis
