🚨More waste from Southern Water in Thanet🚨 This time it's sharp metal fencing that has come off their Margate pumping station, landing on Palm Bay beach. How can we trust them to maintain vital public infrastructure when they can't even maintain a fence?

Lower energy bills, warmer homes, and clean power. That’s the difference a Labour government would make.

Thank you to our members who took part in the selection process and to our candidates who put themselves forward. Please get in touch if you would like to join our campaign for a Labour MP in South Thanet!

On her selection, Polly said: "The next general election is our chance to end the austerity, chaos and mismanagement of the last 13 years. But if we want a Labour government, we need to elect a Labour MP right here in South Thanet. It’s a big task but together we can do it."

We are pleased to announce South Thanet Labour Party members selected Polly Billington to be our Labour parliamementary candidate at the next general election last weekend!

Fair play to Roger Gale for not being on this list though the fact that Craig Mackinlay, who holds questionable views on global warming and the environment and has hired staff from a climate change denying conspiracy think tank for one, pops up here comes as little surprise.

With the local and general elections coming up, it is important that everyone eligible to vote, can vote. You now need ID to cast your vote - no ID, no vote. You can apply here for free: gov.uk/apply-for-phot…

An investigation from Mitie estimated that 10% of migrant children in a Kent hotel disappeared *each week* This is a disgraceful failing from the Tory government to protect incredibly vulnerable children.
