Exeter Labour Party

Introducing the new cabinet on Exeter City Council 🌹 Labour remains in charge of the council as the largest party - ready to continue delivering for Exeter residents.

Kids will go free on buses across England this summer! Schemes like those run by @WestofEnglandCA & @KiMcGuinness have shown what can be done. Parents can plan days out, visit family and make the most of holidays without added financial pressure. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Congrats to @AndyBurnhamGM - looking forward to campaigning in Makerfield for a #Labourwin

Part of my contribution to the Kings Speech debate yesterday on boosting our relations and trade with Europe 👇🏼

In 9 days!

We’re launching the Fostering Innovation programme today 🚀 All part of our efforts to create homes for another 10,000 children to grow up in foster care by the end of this parliament

This is good news - a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy was in our manifesto (and in the 2018 Tory LGBT action plan but subsequently ditched, for political history buffs). The legislation should be focused on preventing abuse, and I look forward to seeing the draft.

Today’s the day - #VoteLabour🌹

Our MP @steveracemp and Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP talk about how Labour is giving children in Exeter the best start in life, from new free breakfast clubs to bringing back Sure Start style services and lifting the two child limit.

Another stop in the South West, another brilliant set of Labour councillors and MP. Since Labour entered government, Exeter has received funding for new free breakfast clubs, a new school-based nursery and a new Best Start Family Hub. Labour is restoring pride in our country 🌹

Great to welcome our amazing Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP back to Exeter yesterday for some campaigning in Alphington. Latest polling for Alphington has Reform and Labour neck and neck, with just 8 votes in it. Only a vote for Labour can stop Reform here 🌹

Exciting news for Exeter today as Labour announces an expansion of our amazing Community Diagnostic Centre based at the Exeter Nightingale. Read @wesstreeting in Devon Live to find out more about how Labour is supporting the NHS in Devon 👇 devonlive.com/news/devon-new…

📣£20 MILLION FOR EXETER 📣 Exeter has been awarded a £20 million investment through our flagship Pride in Place programme. The money will be focused on Whipton and east Heavitree, to be spent on what matters most to local people – that means you get to decide how it’s spent!

Speaking at the UK-EU parliamentary partnership assembly. The Tories pulled us out of the #EuropeanUnion on the worst possible terms, inflicting deep economic harm. Now, we must rebuild our trade and relationships for the benefit of British people, including in #Exeter

Starmer leads Farage and Badenoch on who Brits think would be the most capable Prime Minister. He’s up +4 since Jan 2026, whilst Farage is down -2, and Badenoch’s down -1.

📉 Wait lists have fallen again by 43k in January - 374k in 18 months. 🚑 Fastest ambulance response in 5 years, down to less than 29 mins for heart attacks and stroke 🏥 A&E waits the shortest for four years despite a hugely demanding winter Lots done, lots more to do.

The Green Party's anti-C-section policy is dangerous. It’s deeply irresponsible to continue advocating for this ideology and demonstrates just how little the Greens understand maternity care. Rather than judging women for how they give birth, this Labour government is focused on making maternity care safer for every mother and baby. 📰 Read the full article here: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

With one of two @exeterlabour teams in #StLeonards earlier. Lovely to have Ben Bradshaw with us. Good support for retaining my experience as a local resident/councillor & Labour voice. Creeping concerns about risk to our city of Farage/Polanski populism & negativity of opponents.

Your Labour council in Exeter is leading the way with low-energy, low-cost council homes. A total of 1250 homes in Exeter have been retrofitted, making them more energy efficient and lowering their carbon output, which is better for bills and better for the planet 💚

NEW: Our Labour Council is launching Pride in Exeter, with £130,000 of new investment, giving every ward £10,000 to improve neighbourhoods, from tidying green spaces to fixing small repairs 🌳 🏡 ❤️
