Ashford Labour Party

Reform and the Conservatives want us to go to war in the Middle East. The Greens want us to leave NATO. If Reform, the Conservatives or the Greens were in power Britain would be less safe and weaker. Only Labour will keep Britain strong, safe and free. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest. It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards. And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride. Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children. That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

The war in the middle east is impacting on energy prices. Trumps tariffs and the war in Ukraine continue to make inflation stubborn. This week the Chancellor is taking measures to bring down the cost of living for working people in Ashford. independent.co.uk/voices/cost-of…

Work has started on new food outlets in Ashford. Just over in Sevington. Hopefully locally people will be employed supporting our local economy. kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/b…

There are no elections in Ashford this year. However, it is always good to ensure you can vote, and vote early and conveniently. Register to vote by post on the way to work today. gov.uk/apply-postal-v…

Work is beginning on the demolition of Park Mall in the town centre. The Council is moving at pace to bring investment into this site to create a new mixed development to improve our town centre. ashford.gov.uk/news/latest-ne…

Reform are actually considering taking back this MP even though he is under investigation for racism. Tells you everything you need to know. Scratch the surface of Reform and there's something not very nice just beneath. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In April @sojanuk will be holding another Constituency Surgery. Please see the information below on how to book to see your MP and the help he can provide.

Very concerning that the company that owns a major car park in the town has gone into administration. This will obviously impact retailers. We hope that a new provider can be found at the earliest opportunity. kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/i…

So Reform run KCC have decided to raise council tax this year and stuff that money in their own pockets. Reform Councillors vote themselves a pay increase despite their year of chaos running Kent. What a joke this lot are. kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/coun…

This decision will naturally be of great concern to employees at the Ashford Site. If you are not already in a Trade Union, join one, or remember there are a range of government services available with welfare and employment help. kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/m…

Happy Palm Sunday from all of us at the Labour Party!

The Prime Minister has sad the UK can weather the storm caused by the Iran War. Energy prices are rising, but the Labour government is providing support. We will not get involved in a wider conflict in the Middle East. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Reforms Deputy Leader is being challenged over claims he avoided paying £600,000 worth of Corporation Tax. Same old story with Reform. Something for nothing. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Labour was set up to represent working people in Parliament. This Labour government will turn Britain from a welfare state to a working state as we start our drive to get people back into work. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost loved ones, and all those who are still in hospital. Many young people from Ashford study in Canterbury and will be concerned. Follow medical advice if contacted and report symptoms immediately. theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

After years of chronic underinvestment when the Tories were in power and a poorly regulated market, UK waterways are in a poor state. @sojanuk says Labour is turning things round, investment is improving but it is going to take time to srt out the mess. kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/f…
