@EastMidRailway had passenger assistance booked from St Pancras to Leeds, not only given my seat away but your ramps are 'broken' leaving disabled passengers having to risk their own safety using station ramps which are not compatible with your trains!

Today the hustings for Leeds North West members to choose their next Labour candidate is taking place.
I’m local, trusted and have a proven track record of winning tough elections.
I think those qualities are the cornerstones of what makes a good, hardworking MP and that's why I’m asking members to support me.

I am so delighted to have the support of so many activists, members, Councillors, MPs, young people, community organisers & local celebrities .
Thank you to everyone who has voted already and to those who will be voting on Saturday .
Today we laid a wreath following the St Chad’s Remembrance Service. Thank you for a lovely, thoughtful service to St Chads church, choir, scouts, guides and many others. We will remember them.
On #RemembranceSunday we pay tribute to those who gave their lives to protect our country. May we never forget the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, veterans and their families in the name of our security and democracy. #LestWeForget
I’ve spent my career working in youth and social services. Strong public services aren’t an optional extra cost, they are an investment. I will fight to improve health, youth, and social care services for our community and the country, because I know the difference they make.
The inevitable conclusion of inflammatory rhetoric and attacks on the Police.
These people don’t respect our war dead. Many of them will be admirers of Hitler.
Thanks to @edballs and @susannareid100 for interviewing me and @LaylaMoran in such a sensitive way.
Its hard to find the words for the human catastrophe that’s happening and the hostages stolen from their families but we need to work together to find a way.
Fabian is a conviction politician of the highest quality. He has served Leeds North East in Parliament since 1997 and has been a Shadow Minister for Europe, the Middle East, for Peace and Disarmament. I am so proud to have his endorsement and support.
Autumn scenes in Leeds North West. Enjoyed the rainbow 🌈 after very wet doorknock!
Thank you to all the residents who talked with us about your hopes for a Labour government and what you want from your next MP.
I fully support the @GMB_union in their fight for equal pay for ASDA workers, whose women retail workers earn £2.00 an hour less than their male counterparts working in depots.
I am proud to be standing as a candidate to be the next MP in Leeds North West for @UKLabour who are the party of Equal Pay. As an MP I would work hard on this agenda alongside my union, the #GMB

Thank you Zach for your support! I have worked hard to engage, support and work with young labour members as a councillor and will continue to do so as MP for Leeds North West.
I have had people question my stance on Israel and Palestine. Questioning what my ‘real’ view is.
I’ve also been accused of ignoring conflicts and human rights abuses around the world - which is frankly laughable.
So reposting my piece in @theipaper

I worked with Jackie for 8 years at The Joanna Project. I learned so much from her about leadership, advocacy for those who are marginalised and persistence in fighting for justice. She knows me well and I am grateful for her support.
Delighted to have the backing of my colleague and friend Helen (Exec member for sustainable development and infrastructure).
Helen has been a great support and inspiration to me as a woman in politics. Thank you Helen.
I really value Eleanor's support. She is an extremely hard working councillor in Guiseley and Rawdon and someone who I have worked closely with, both on political and community campaigns and on Leeds City Council.
