Back home after a busy day at the Council. Was delighted to be part of the opening of @MuseumandArt Swindon alongside @strinkovsky @kasmaty and the Mayor @ImtiyazShaikh_! Open to the public from 10.30am tomorrow… #BuildingABetterSwindon

We are open! We are pleased, we are able to welcome you to our new home. Come in and explore, FREE for everyone. Our opening times this week are Tuesday to Sunday 10.30am to 4.30pm. We really hope you enjoy your visit! Share your photos using the hashtag #MuseumArtSwindon

Still can’t quite believe this happened! Incredible to see @Keir_Starmer walking into No10 today and to know that @LabSouthSwindon played our part in securing that victory. The hard work starts today.

@isojackal Thanks!

The final push before polling day - let’s go turn #Swindon red! Vote for change tomorrow. #VoteLabour.

@neilrobinson_88 It's been round the loop so many times now I'm getting a bit dizzy. But I can't see it getting approved in this iteration any more than the previous ones. Suspect we'll go round and round again with yet another variation in due course...

@RobNewmanLab Good luck Rob!

If I’m elected on Thursday, my promise is simple: I’ll stand up for you, work hard, and be the best representative I can possibly be. The reason for that promise is also simple. It’s because this is home. A message from me as we approach polling day ✍🏻 robnewman.co.uk/this-election-…

@mohimg @faisalislam The decision was announced in 2019, with the final shutting of doors in 2021.

@faisalislam I didn’t realise the Honda factory shut down. When did that happen??

READ: The Growth problem… I went to Swindon, ultimate political bellwether, economically totemic, former fastest growing town in Europe. unemployment is below 3%, but loss of Honda factory, town centre decline, has some locals concerned… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Elect me as your MP on Thursday 04 July and I will set up and lead a new town centre taskforce to breathe new life into the heart of #Swindon. It’s time for change in our town. It’s time for a fresh start. Time to #VoteLabour.

So this happened! Thank you @JennyChapman and @BlaenauGwentMP for helping me launch my campaign to be the next MP for Swindon South! #VoteLabour #Swindon

Young people are living in a "comfort zone" and must be forced out of it, says James Cleverly. A reminder of what that zone now looks like for most young people

Swindon Council Result #LE2024: LAB: 14 (+9) CON: 6 (-9) Council Now: LAB 41, CON 15, LDM 1. Labour HOLD.

@dale_heenan @SwindonTories @gsum66 Labour +9 seats, Tories reduced to a rump 15 seats on the whole council. If this is a #fightback, I've got to say I'm enjoying it so far. Perhaps a smidge of introspection on why your party continues to haemorrhage seats? Or you can just pretend that this is absolutely fine...

2023 was a low point for @swindontories. 2 cllrs won. 2024. 6 cllrs. We feared the worst with the national picture, 2 was our starting point for this year. The public is seeing what the way Labour have already mismanaged #swindon. We have new leadership in @gsum66 & I 1/

@SannSwindon @petersketch @Heidi_Labour @BAdamsLab Aldi special, iirc. We know how to live.

@petersketch @Heidi_Labour Though I do remember post canvassing ice creams with @PatrickSwindon and @BAdamsLab last summer!

This needs to be re-implemented as a thing.
