Great to join team of Medway activists, councillors and one of our Medway MPs supporting our great friends in @lewishamlabour today. Always a pleasure to be on the #labourdoorstep with @vickyfoxcroft, @Brenda_Dacres and our Mayoral candidate Amanda De Ryk #MedwayOnTour

Modern governance depends on modern employment practice. Grateful to Lauren Edwards MP for backing #OneParliamentOneEmployer. (Signature No. 25)

It’s essential we hear all those voices in our decision making. There are three other political groups on Medway Council, disappointingly two of them have zero women. And of course 66% of our Medway Labour MPs are women. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #GiveToGain 2/2

On #IWD2026 want to take a moment to recognise the outstanding women who form more than 50% of @MedwayLabour Front line councillors, leading quasi judicial committees, playing a critical role on O&S or half of the cabinet - every single one making a brilliant contribution. 1/2

Proud to send a simple message of solidarity from the people of Medway to Ukraine on the fourth anniversary of the start of the conflict. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 #MedwayStandsWithUkraine #ProudToBeMedway

Tonight I have the privilege of once again moving the budget speech for the Medway Labour & Co-op Group highlighting the work done to date and how we will be continuing the change people voted for in May 2023. #ProudToBeMedway

We’re proud to announce Douglas Hamandishe as our nominee for Mayor, alongside Sharon Jackson for Deputy Mayor. A strong and dedicated team ready to lead our community, bringing people together, and working every day to make our area an even better place to live, work and grow.

💬 We've been speaking to residents across Strood today with your local MP and councillors listening to local issues - we're working with the council to make sure our streets are clean and safe 🏫🚶‍♂️We also spoke with happy residents about the new school street at Hilltop School

🎂🎂 Really enjoyed today's 2nd birthday for the Repair Cafe. 🔧We've supported this really important initiative that started in Strood to help Medway residents repair rather than throw away broken electric devices, clothes and books with our Ward Improvement Funds

A beautiful, poignant service to celebrate the rich life of Beryl Payne I’ve never seen so many extra seats needed for a service truly showing the wide impact she had Medway is a better place for her and I know positive things will continue to happen as part of her legacy.

Great to be flying the flag for Medway and to join friends from across the Labour Local Government family for a historic reception at 10 Downing Street. Was a real privilege to open the evening’s speeches alongside LGA Labour Group Leader @bevcraig OBE and the Prime Minister.

The Met Office has issued a Yellow warning of snow and ice in the early hours and morning of Friday, 2 January, affecting South East England including Medway orlo.uk/sQ4hP

Great to be here at Cannon Cafe to support the AMAT Christmas Concert This year AMAT have housed 427 individuals, given 5330 hours of Hive support & much more. Another organisation I wish didn’t have to exist but thank goodness they do. #ProudToBeMedway #MerryMedwayChristmas

On the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we raised the Palestinian flag following the UK’s formal recognition of it as a state this year. We stand for peace, dignity & a two-state future where all people can live side by side in peace & prosperity.

I’m grateful to @TrisOsborneMP @naushabah_khan & Lauren Edwards for all putting the case as local MPs for Medway getting a fair funding settlement for our community. Much more helpful than one former Conservative MP who was pleased when £170,000,000 was taken from Medway by Gove

Great to be out and about meeting residents in Intra and Brompton today

Great to be at the 10th Anniversary of the Chatham @AFVBC at the refurbished Mast & Rigging Congratulations to Kev and all those involved - over 100 in attendance today. #ProudToBeMedway

So after all the bluster at @medway_council last night from Reform UK and The Independent Group about not being able to raise issues, we have cabinet next Tuesday where councillors and the public can raise issues. Guess how many questions have been submitted by the two groups?
