I can only hope @stepville reads this & uses her success to try getting Jack some work stateside. The combination of them two together would be formidable...

Britain is stuck thanks to a succession of Tory governments.

As leader of the Labour Party, I’m focused on getting us into power.

Only then can we deliver the change that trade unions and working people want and need.

An incredible night for the Rhinos as they come back from 30-6 down with just 12 men in the second half to win in Golden Point extra time!

And then there was quiet.

For a few weeks, I'm going off social to focus on being a dad, a husband & to recharge m'batteries - so I'm on form to help when the awful winter bills hit people. I'll be back for the day the new price cap's announced

Take care. Enjoy August's warmth!

Today marks one year since the National Disability Strategy was launched.

Disabled People were promised a transformative strategy by this government – they didn't get it.

Instead, this government has let down disabled people up and down the country.

A thread. (1/10) 🧵

@ashlyn_emma_L Looks nice. Will sample sometime. Glad you enjoyed your day out.

I am delighted to have been re-selected as the @UKLabour candidate for @LewDeptLabour.

I am absolutely thrilled to be given the honour to once again represent the area I love.

[Damon @DamonCooperDC]

@AnnBlackLabour The selections point is out of order. You've been fairly consistent on challenging them.

[Damon @DamonCooperDC]

@KaynanHudson @JamesLewisLab @ChrisBurn_Post @Leeds_Labour @garethforest There's media passes though..

I once watched a Rhinos game from the press box and I don't work in media so James could always go as guest of someone covering tonight's hustings...

With my Government, economic growth will be strong, secure and fair.

Today I’m setting out Labour’s mission for an economy which benefits the whole country.

@MrsBurgin @LabBeyondCities That middle class worker might just be the best advocate for shop workers if engaged with the issues.

Engagement is the key.

[Damon @DamonCooperDC]

@LabBeyondCities Just working in a shop at one point obviously doesn't count but it would if you reconnected with shop workers & use this experience to make life better for people in this line of work today

A ruthless performance from the Rhinos sees them score 11 tries in a 64-6 win over Wigan. The pick of the try scorers were Hornby, Roche, Robinson and Barnes who all scored two tries each.
