Great to hear from #Heavitree voters on the #labourdoorstep this evening planning to vote for @exeterlabour @Gemma_Rolstone on May 4th - before the hailstorm struck #Exeter #ClimateCrisis

[Steve Race MP 💙💛 @steveracemp]

Lovely morning out talking to residents in Heavitree with @Gemma_Rolstone - who will be a fantastic councillor for local people.

As a local businesswoman running a small business, Gemma knows how important it is that communities have the services they need to thrive! #votelabour

After 13yrs, the Tories are failing on crime.

A Labour government will prevent crime, punish criminals, and protect communities in Exeter.

✅ 13000 new police & PCSOs
✅ Tough action on town centre drug-dealing
✅ Specialist police support for violence against women and girls

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Under the Tories we have the highest tax burden since WWII and plummeting growth.

Working people deserve so much better than this.

A vote for Labour on May 4 is a vote to build a better Britain for working people.

‘The cost of not investing in early childhood is over £16bn a year.’ This was increasingly clear as the results of the US Head Start project started to emerge in the 1980s. So why don’t we do something about it ⁦@educationgovuk⁩? https://t.co/DyGG4V3XNw

Thanks to @DevonLiveNews for highlighting the amount of raw sewage that flowed into the Exe in Exeter in 2022: *1219 hours* worth of sewage outflow in a year.

We have to be better than this; click here to see what I’ll do as Exeter’s MP #SewageScandal 🌊

Building a better Britain starts today.

Can't help noticing that woman looks uncomfortable, but don't think it's your place to step in? Think again.

Stopping harassment towards women doesn't have to cause a fight.

Deeply worrying implication of @DEvonCC withdrawal of funding for Exeter’s rough sleepers.

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

Train services in and out of the far south west are frequently delayed by old infrastructure, a lack of investment and persistent delays. Tory plans to cut compensation for train travellers is a sign they’re locking in failure, not fixing our broken railways.

[Gemma Rolstone @Gemma_Rolstone]

Another great weekend chatting to local Heavitree residents! #exeter #LabourParty

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

If you're increasing expectation of free childcare, some idea of what supply there is and so what stoking demand will do when you admit currently underfunded and so has shortages isn't stalinist....its pretty sensible so you know if all that money will have effect you want...🤷‍♀️

[Politics.co.uk @Politics_co_uk]

INTERVIEW: The budget included a series of reforms to the childcare sector. @alicia_fitzg spoke to @stellacreasy who has some concerns...👩‍🍼

'The government could actually end up crashing the childcare sector with these new measures, like they did with the economy', she said.

[NDNA @NDNAtalk]

Following the Chancellor’s announcement yesterday, Govt has published its ratios consultation response, saying it will implement 1:5 ratio for 2s from Sept.

The overwhelming majority of respondents to this consultation did not want ratios changed ❌❌

[Exeter City Council @ExeterCouncil]

Work is about to start on a scheme to build dozens of new ultra low energy council homes for residents.

The first phase of the scheme in Vaughan Road, Whipton, will create 35 new Passivhaus homes for people in housing need in the city.

Look at the devastation after #Plymouth’s Tory Council chopped down over 100 trees. The stacks of dead trees have been left like the Council is taunting those who find this appalling. It’s environmental vandalism. Let’s vote these Tories out in May’s elections.
