@narindertweets What a Wally Jenrick is …maybe he will get for a houseboat and joining the Greens ….

Jenrick "where are we?" "You're in a different party" This is hilarious. What a put down.

In case you missed it: the Labour Government is getting on with bringing rail into public control - including GWR 🚄 This rail operator will be coming under public control on 13 December, and there are more to come!

@peterjukes @BylineTimes @Ofcom, are you awake yet?!!

Lord Rothermere Daily Mail Owner (French immigrant), and Rupert Murdoch Sun owner (Australian immigrant). These are the immigrants destroying the UK.

As the son of a Blackpool postie, I know how much Royal Mail means... we can't let it be run into the ground trib.al/1Si0Lqh

This afternoon I’m at the @cwuha AGM in my role as a Trustee for the charity. For more than 30 years, CWUHA has supported children living in poverty across the UK, Europe and Africa - delivering humanitarian aid directly to those children who need it most. Today we’re also hearing from Holly Smith at @UKMed about their lifesaving work in Gaza, and the partnership support CWUHA has provided to help deliver vital medical aid.

Tonight, The Blackpool Tower is lighting up in green to mark the start of Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

We will be judged on our actions, not just words.  We have to show that we understand the scale of response the moment calls for. Labour exists to make working people better off. That is not happening fast enough. And needs to change now. Proud to address #CWU26

Vile statements like this have poisoned political discourse for far too long. No community should have to suffer them. Reform has shown you who they are. Believe them.

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/co…

We were delighted to partner with @ChrisWebbMP to present £2,000 from the Bacta Charitable Trust to Stand Together and Recover Blackpool. The BCT is proud to support the vital work STAR do for mental health and wellbeing in Blackpool.

Today, I’ve been honouring a longstanding commitment to a group of determined school Mums to join them to raise funds for SEND-friendly playground facilities. When the going gets tough…

Final result in Merton: Labour 32, Liberal Democrats 19, Conservatives 4, Merton Park Residents 2. Labour retain control of London’s most marginal council with an increased majority. A great endorsement of our record over the last four years.

Out on the doors today backing Labour candidates in Droylsden West & Droylsden East, Audenshaw and Dukinfield. Vote Labour 🌹

Can't argue with the Bee Network 🐝 Loved seeing my old pal Noel after all these years.  Vote Labour on 7 May 🌹

The beach is not a bin When you leave our beaches this Bank Holiday weekend, rain or shine, please take your rubbish home or pop it in one of the 250 bins along the promenade. It's a small ask but it has a big impact on our environment ❤️ 📷 LB Photography

I know the difference an affordable, healthy breakfast can make for children. Together with local leaders like @patrick_hurley we’re creating more breakfast clubs like this one in Southport. Vote Labour 7th May, so we can give more kids the chance to learn free from hunger.
