Smithdown Labour

Brilliant to be here at the Smithdown Community Celebration on Earle Road. Big crowds, loads of info stalls, free food and fun activities for kids. On til 2pm - come on down!

The community skips we arranged filling up already on Bartlett, Plumer and Broadwood Streets. Great to see residents making use of them to #KeepLiverpoolTidy!

Big thank you to friends and colleagues out today speaking with residents and solving local issues in the Smithdown Dales on a lovely sunny day. 🌞 And well done to @PennyLnWombles out litter picking the area at the same time! Will join you next time! 🧹

It's been a really fascinating and insightful #LGAFireConf2026, with @MerseyFire well represented. Lobbied the fire minister, Sam Dixon MP, around capital funding. Interesting to hear about building civil resilience, using emerging technologies and the College of Fire. 🚒🚨🧑‍🚒

Labour changed Britain for women: delivering the Equal Pay Act, Sex Discrimination Act, maternity rights and flexible working. This International Women’s Day, we’re continuing that work, to build a more equal future and to empower women in every corner of the country.

Proud to be able to vote tonight at Liverpool's annual budget meeting to commit millions of pounds of new investment into our neighbourhoods and communities, with much improved street cleaning, support for young people and improving our parks at the forefront. 🌹

Just voted to set a budget for @MerseyFire for 2026-27 which continues reinvensting in our world-leading fire service and provides our firefighters with the resources they need to save lives. 🚒🧑‍🚒

Great to be here at the launch of the Wavertree Family Hub. Loads of groups and activities for kids, as well as support on offer. On til 1:30pm!

Save the Date everyone! The @SmithdownFest is back at the @handymanbrewery / @handymanSmarket this May 1st - 4th #liverpoolmusic #liverpool #craftbeerliverpool #musicliverpool

The Tories' anti-union laws have started being put in the shredder - thanks to the Employment Rights Act. 🔥🌹 Now let's finish the job, scrap the 2016 Trade Union Act completely and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full. labourunions.org.uk/deliverinfull

Today marks a major step forward for workers’ rights. Unions can now spend more time fighting for better jobs, better pay, and better conditions - after most of the Tories’ Trade Union Act is repealed. 📝❌🌹✊ labourunions.org.uk/deliverinfull

📢 A Liverpool Labour plan, promised and delivered by our next budget 🌹

This #HeartUnionsWeek, I want to thank union reps nationwide for their hard work over the past year. Our workplaces are safer, fairer and more inclusive because of you. Not a union member yet? Find yours here: tuc.org.uk/join-a-union

Great to join local volunteers litterpicking the Lawrence Road area this morning. At least half a dozen bags filled and the streets were looking much nicer afterwards. Well done to all the regulars! 🚯♻️🧹🗑

Hundreds more children in the Smithdown area will gain access to free breakfast clubs from April. As well as: 👶 30 hours of free childcare 👔 Cheaper uniforms 🍲 Free breakfast clubs Great to see multiple ways that things are improving for local children and families.

This sounds about right. The only mistake we noticed was that they say L1 is the coolest postcode in the city, when we all know it's L15... independent.co.uk/life-style/liv…
