Top Tory MP defects to Labour in fury at NHS crisis theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Great Labour team in Hemlington today! 🌹💪

Out in Middlesbrough South with Luke Myer for MSEC getting the vote out for the mayoral for Chris McEwan

Rural crime is a big issue for our area. That's why I'm launching the Mayor's Rural Crime Taskforce, we will work with organisations such as North Yorkshire Police and the NFU to stamp down on it. 🌹

Today Lola McEvoy and I were joined in Darlington by Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves .

We heard powerful stories from local people who are struggling, and they were clear. After 14 years of a Tory Government and 7 years of a Tory Mayor, it's time for change. Vote Labour on 2…

Out with Chris McEwan and Lola McEvoy in Darlington ahead of the mayoral election in Tees Valley!

Rural voters are trusting Labour again – we must not let them down

✍️ Keir Mather MP

Judge ministers by what they do, not what they say.

The Tories have:
❌ Never matched Labour defence spending levels
❌ Cut the Army to the smallest size since Napoleon
❌ Missed their own recruitment targets every year
❌ Wasted over £15bn in bad procurement

Communities like Cawood in Yorkshire are being blighted by rural theft and antisocial behaviour.

My mission-driven government will stamp out crime and disorder in Britain’s countryside.

BREAKING: Middlesbrough FC chairman Steve Gibson backs Labour's Chris McEwan and launched a scathing attack on Ben Houchen accusing the Tees Valley mayor of 'giving away our children's future'

As Keir Starmer recently set out, Labour wants to see a fully funded plan to reach 2.5 per cent, but the Tories have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted on defence and we will examine the detail of their announcement closely. (1/4)

There may be a change in Government to Labour this year, but there will be no change in Britain’s resolve to stand with Ukraine, confront Russian aggression and pursue Putin for his war crimes. (2/2)

The UK is united in support of Ukraine and against Russian aggression. Labour strongly welcomes this further funding and military aid to Ukraine.

This UK military support is vital to helping Ukraine gain an upper hand against Putin’s brutal and illegal invasion. (1/2)

Our countryside is part of our national identity and home to millions.
 
With Labour’s rural crime strategy, Britain’s rural communities will be protected.

Hugely welcome, if unnecessarily and avoidably late, news from the US House approving aid to Ukraine. We need to be all in on Ukraine's defence for all of Europe's sake.

Every vote counts in Teesside, if you can lend a hand to help Chris McEwan before the election please do

The country needs change.
