We mean it when we say we’re determined the govt will pay attention to Penrith&Solway. Ex-NHS physio Juliet & ex-teacher Rhys (CLP chair&sec) were at no10 last night then met our MP Markus Campbell-Savours at the Palace of Westminster ⁦@MCSavours⁩ ⁦@10DowningStreet⁩

Great that MP Markus is very strong on putting constituents first and ending the sleaze and scandal era of the Tory years. He’s busy over the summer recess hiring his constituency team who’ll help people locally. Won’t be allocated an office at Westminster for weeks!

Why is there a housing crisis and what is the Labour Government doing to fix it? 👇

Penrith&Solway has certainly caught the attention of @10DowningStreet! Our chair Juliet and sec Rhys are heading to No 10 today representing N of England Labour members at an event to thank supporters for the landslide Labour victory. We’re a winning team here! @10DowningStreet

The Conservatives spent taxpayers’ money like there was no tomorrow because they knew someone else would have to pick up the bill. I will never do that. I will fix the foundations of our economy to make Britain better off. thesun.co.uk/news/29549774/…

The Tories left Britain's finances in their worst state since the Second World War.   This Labour Government will take tough decisions to deliver the long-term solutions that will make you better off.

At our first members meeting since the election, on Zoom & in Maryport at the weekend, we gave a warm welcome to some of the new people who’ve recently joined the Labour Party. We’ll all be working hard with MP Markus for Penrith&Solway. Join us! jdr.labour.org.uk/join-journey

Labour women in Penrith&Solway are meeting Cumbria Police,Fire,Crime Commissioner David Allen this month to discuss plans for reducing violence against women &girls, a top priority. Police Chiefs have declared violence vs women&girls a national emergency. @davidallen4pfcc

For too many people putting in a shift, work isn’t paying enough to cover the basics. We’re moving quickly to restore security and dignity to those striving for a better life. Our new deal will protect working adults with a genuine living wage. 👇🏻 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

The work to turn the tide on the Tory housing crisis we’ve inherited has begun. This Labour Government has a mandate to build the homes people need - and deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

After 14 years of the Tories, our public finances are in their worst state since the second world war and our public services are in crisis. This Labour Government will take the tough decisions needed to deliver real change. ✍️ @patmcfaddenmp telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/2…
