Huge congratulations to @andyburnham.bsky.social on becoming Labour’s 8th PM. Really good to see focus on greater devolution; building a fairer economy, incl helping young people into work; more council housing; ending rough sleeping; tackling the cost of living. Great 1st steps, more to come...

Labour GAIN from Green! Huge congratulations to @camdenlabour.bsky.social's Nanouche Umeadi for winning the Regents Park by-election. Great to see her back on Camden Council, after defeating the relentless negativity and posturing of Camden Green party.

Great to be getting out the vote for @camdenlabour.bsky.social #RegentsPark by-election candidate, Nanouche Umeadi. Don’t delay, #VoteLabour today!

Average cost of a Parliamentary by-election? In 2016: £230,000. In today’s prices, c. £320,000. All that for #Farage to prove what, exactly? #Clacton questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Great to be out earlier this week supporting @CamdenLabour’s Nanouche Umeadi in the #RegentsPark by-election. People voting Labour after gobsmacked at Camden Greens not knowing their candidate was ineligible to be a councillor; cost to residents = £30,000.

Really good to hear @andyburnham commit to devolving powers to London, to good growth & following up Alan Milburn's report: "We need a complete re-think of how we support the next generation to succeed." All fundamental to Camden's work on inclusive economy: democracy.camden.gov.uk/documents/s1...

Congratulations to Camden Greens for making it into Rotten Boroughs in @privateeyenews.bsky.social And all at the cost of £30,000 to Camden residents.

Well said @chelfulhamben.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #EU

Ten years ago today, millions voted for Britain to leave the EU. But it hasn't worked, has it? In a less safe world, closer EU ties – trade without red tape, youth mobility, defence – make sense. Let's be hopeful and ambitious for a stronger, safer, happier, European future.

Keir Starmer served our country with decency and dedication. The grace of his departure was the mark of the man. He transformed Labour; rid it of antisemitism, pulling it back from electoral abyss and into government.

With the reinvigoration of BAME Labour now is the time to show political imagination in how Labour works to end the status quo.

Despite the rain, great response on the doorstep today in #Makerfield for @AndyBurnhamGM.

Great day at London Coop Party conference: thoughtful, determined, optimistic. Really good discussion on what Coop Party adds to Labour Party, including on economy, jobs and empowering communities; and implementing Labour govt’s pledge to double size of #cooperative sector. #wherewebelong

Great news for Cambridge. 👋 Waiting expectantly for announcement on Euston. Everyone raring to go. 🚄🏠🏗️🏢🌳🌻🧑‍💼👷👩‍💼👷‍♀️

We are announcing today the establishment of a Greater Cambridge Development Corporation.   Working closely with local partners and communities, this Labour government will deliver high-quality, sustainable and nationally significant growth in Cambridge and its surrounding areas.

Here we go again. Back on the @CamdenLabour doorstep in #RegentsPark ward. Residents bewildered. Camden Green Party incompetence means their new ‘councillor’ is unable to take up his seat as he’s ineligible. That’s a £30k taxpayer bill! #VoteLabour #GreenPartyIncompetence

Great to see the Labour govt secure compensation for thousands of British Gas customers on low incomes, who wrongly had prepayment meters force-fitted in their homes under previous Tory govt. This on top of last year's compensation from other energy companies. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Keir Starmer, has a 5-year mandate to rebuild our economy, repair our public services, & make our country safer and fairer. He inherited a wrecked economy, wrecked public finances, wrecked public services. Will take time to repair. Lab MPs shd be supporting him in this, not trying to bring him down
