This morning, Keir Starmer launched Labour’s first steps for change. Now the Shadow Cabinet are across the country talking about Labour’s plans 🧵👇

Angela Rayner 🌹 Rachel Reeves, Jonathan Ashworth and Ellie Reeves take Labour’s first steps to Southend

Great to be with Bayo Alaba our candidate in Southend East & Rochford for the launch of Labour's first steps for change.

After 14 years of Tory chaos only Labour has a plan to get Britain back on its feet.

No more gimmicks. No more sticking plasters. It’s time for change.🌹

Great to meet with Alzheimer's Society in Parliament today as part of #DementiaActionWeek .

People in Lewisham West and Penge & across the country are suffering without an early diagnosis and the support they need.

We must end the diagnosis gap.

Today is #WorldAsthmaDay , a condition that affects many of my constituents.

If you have the condition, it is important to know what triggers your asthma to help you manage your symptoms.

With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah, an Israeli offensive must not go ahead.

There must be an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded aid into Gaza that can be delivered regularly, quickly and safely.

Congratulations Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹. An incredible result and significant victory.

Right across the country people have voted for change and the message is clear…

It’s time for a General Election and a Labour govt to get our country’s future back.

Huge congratulations Marina!!

Calling all cyclists, today is #LocalBikeShopDayUK !

Two local favourites of mine are SE20 Cycles in Penge and Finches Emporium in Forest Hill.

So please show your support to these two, and other great independent bike shops this weekend!

The results show that Labour is gaining support across the country. But we know that we need to rebuild trust over Gaza. Labour wants:

An immediate ceasefire.

No ground offensive in Rafah.

A long term political solution including recognition of the state of Palestine.

From Rushmore to Redditch. From Hartlepool to Thurrock.

These results show that in every part of the country, people are putting their trust in Labour again.

'The sooner he gets on and calls it, the better.'

Rishi Sunak was 'running scared' and should have called a general election for the same day as the local elections, Labour's Ellie Reeves tells Matthew Wright.

Labour is winning in the areas that will decide the general election.

From Blackpool to Rushmoor, voters are putting their trust in a changed Labour Party.

It’s time for a Labour govt that will deliver economic security & get Britain's future back.

Labour WIN: Congratulations to Claire Ward, the new Labour Mayor for East Midlands 🌹

The East Midlands Mayoralty will be a good barometer of Labour’s support.

It's a new seat, not affected by the incumbency factor & covers more than a dozen key parliamentary battleground seats.

A Labour win here would be big news.
