@mcortonscott Very powerful article. Janice Turner at her best. Agree, everyone should read it. Let's hope it leads to major cultural change in France.
Rachel Reeves has the green light from businesses to prioritise high quality public services in today's budget.
In Opinium's poll of over 500 business leaders:
✅ 8 in 10 say high quality public services are important to the success of their business.
✅ 9 in 10 say improvements to public services should be a high priority for the government.
It's time to fix the foundations of our economy.
I am today announcing my candidacy for the Chairmanship of the Labour Against Low Down Letterboxes committee.
If elected I will:
🚪 Eradicate low down letterboxes by 2025
🚪…that’s about it.
Some good publicity for our local team as Labour's @Keir_Starmer and @alistrathern host late campaign rally at Top Field, home of @HitchinTownFC
The pitch was looking immaculate as ever, and I think we left it that way! 🌹
Great to be joined in Hitchin by @Ed_Miliband today to speak to local businesses about how Labour will drive energy bills down by investing in clean power and GB Energy!
Fab to have @Ed_Miliband with us in Hitchin today, and a lovely response from small businesses in the town who welcomed the stability that an energy secure UK would bring.
Let’s switch on GB energy ⚡️
Every independent poll shows it's a fight between Labour & the Tories in Hitchin, so the choice is clear

To kick the Tories out & get the change we need in Hitchin & the villages, vote for @alistrathern , your local @UKLabour candidate.

Leaseholders face 9,000% ground rent rise in Hitchin.
I understand DLUHC are desperate to get the leasehold Bill through and are pushing for peppercorns - but Bim Afolmai and HMT STILL blocking the move. And they’re STILL blocking a £250 cap too

Fantastic result in North Herts for Labour!
Already the largest party, @NorthHertsLab added 6 seats to make 25, just one short of the 26 required to control the council.
We're hugely proud of Labour's candidates and everyone who campaigned.
Congratulations! 🍾 #LabourGain
The so-calĺed Blue Wall has fallen in North Hertfordshire.
@NorthHertsLab now has councillors in Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Royston, and the Great Ashby area of Stevenage. The local Tories are largely a rural concern here.
@UKLabour can now win here in the General Election.
Today's result shows that Labour's plan for a fairer greener North Herts has won support across the district. This shows that people turning away from the tired Tories are looking to Labour for credible change.
We look forward to continuing to deliver for North Herts residents!
