Great to have spent this afternoon on the doors for Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 with Angela Rayner 🌹 and Simon Lightwood MP.

On May 2nd vote Labour for better buses. 🌹🚍

Great to see Louise Haigh and The Labour Party commit to greater control of the buses.

Around 153,000 people in the UK have Parkinson's, and everyone’s journey is different. Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay , & I am proud to unite with the #Parkinsons community. For info & support visit Parkinson's UK or parkinsons.org.uk.

Britain's bus services are in crisis.

Labour has a plan to Take Back Control 👇

Labour will make sure every community can take back control of local bus services.

Today, Louise Haigh sets out how 👇

En route to Birmingham to join Louise Haigh to launch our plan to give every community the power to take back control of bus services

The Labour Party will create & save vital routes & services, end today’s postcode lottery of services, & kickstart a revival of bus services across England

Today, I'm setting out Labour's plan for better buses.

Labour's plan will give every community a say over their buses.

Our plan means vital routes created and saved across the country, and better bus services wherever you live 🚍🌹

NEW: Labour's plan for high streets:

✅ 13,000 more neighbourhood police & PCSOs
✅ Face-to-face banking in every community
✅ Replace business rates
✅ Stamp out late payments
✅ Revamp empty shops, pubs & community spaces

The Government's negligence and ideological resistance to industrial strategy has created an existential crisis in our rail manufacturing sector.

Finally. After 10 yrs campaigning on violence against shopworkers by @USDAWUnion The British Retail Consortium (here today with us in Stockton) Co-operative Party The Labour Party & more, Govt has u-turned & accepted Labour's plan to make assault on shopworkers a specific crime.

But still doesn’t go far enough /1

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating in Wakefield and around the world.

Rishi Sunak is letting tax dodgers avoid paying what they owe.

Rachel Reeves will take on the tax dodgers to fund more NHS hospital and dentist appointments, and free breakfast clubs for all primary school pupils.

That's the difference Labour will make.

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.

Top Labour team out in Wakefield East this afternoon! 🌹 #LabourDoorstep

Really enjoyable visit to Camphill Wakefield Specialist FE College recently.

Great to meet with the team and Clare Howard to see their beautiful site, discuss the fantastic progress they’ve made, as well as national challenges facing the specialist FE sector.

This is a personal piece for The Sun on the Union Jack — 🇬🇧

This is the flag that went into battle against Hitler’s racism and it doesn’t belong to the fascist thugs who once tried to intimidate me.

That’s why Labour proudly flies it.

A comfortable win for Wakefield as they pick up another two points!

Labour has a plan to rescue NHS dentistry, and reform it for the long run.

This includes funding an additional 700,000 urgent appointments a year and delivering a targeted recruitment scheme for dentists in the areas that need them the most.

It’s time for change and only Labour can deliver it.

We caught some spring sunshine on Pinders Heath & Woodlesford with fantastic local The Labour Party candidates Nat Walton & Tim Dowd.

Really positive conversations with residents, people are ready to see the back of this Tory government 🌹
