75 years of @NHSuk, 52 million babies delivered in England and Wales. I was the 29,067,524th baby to be born on the NHS. Find out what NHS baby number you were https://t.co/TQd7qNBP0A

@dc_lawrence Great turnout David

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @BasGazette A brazen attempt at suppressing the vote, addressing a completely fictional problem, and now actually disenfranchising people. Borrowed straight from the political dirty tricks of the extreme American right

[David Lawrence @dc_lawrence]

So many people in Basingstoke rely on our rail services, and Basingstoke’s connectivity is part of what makes it such a fantastic, vibrant town 🚉

Thanks @TanDhesi for coming to @BstokeLabour to set out Labour's plan to get our railways back on track!

Local elections are tomorrow (Thursday)! Five reasons to vote Labour: We will

1. Freeze council tax 💰

The cost of living crisis has hit thousands of households in Basingstoke: from mortgage rates to energy to food prices. Labour will freeze council tax to help families.

@dc_lawrence @JimfromOldham @BstokeLabour @BasYoungLabour @EcoBasingstoke @Feargal_Sharkey @LabourDefra @serauk Absolutely staggering that anyone would be against stopping raw sewage being pumped into waterways. Incredibly telling that Tories stand beside companies with £1bn profits, not ordinary people

[David Lawrence @dc_lawrence]

*New data* from the Environment Agency shows that there were 1.75 million hours of sewage spills in the UK last year - an average of 824 spills per day. So why won't Conservative politicians back Labour's plan to clean up the mess?

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @BstokeLabour @BasYoungLabour One party wants everyone to vote.

The other wants to make it harder for young people than for pensioners. Guess which party pensioners usually vote for?

Don't let them take away your voice.

@dc_lawrence @BasGazette @UKLabour Spot on David

Where is Basingstoke's new hospital?

The NHS is facing a national crisis, but Basingstoke has been particularly let down by the Conservatives. Maria Miller made a new hospital a central promise of her last election campaign, but nothing has happened.

[David Lawrence @dc_lawrence]

It's simple: if you dump sewage in a river, you should pay to clearn up the mess. Especially if you made £1 billion in profits last year. So why did Basingstoke's Conservative MP Maria Miller vote against this?

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @itvmeridian @BstokeLabour @BasYoungLabour This is so wildly obvious, and so basic. It speaks to the rot in Government that they could be on the wrong side of 'profiteering from dumping sewage into the water'

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence Part of the shocking degradation of public services under 13 years of Tory rule

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence An obvious part of a net zero economy as well. What chance of universal free bus travel, subsidised by taxes on carbon-intensive travel like short haul flights?

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @BasYoungLabour @BstokeLabour Yikes

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @TheNewEuropean More than a decade of Tory economic mismanagement, most notably the economic self harm of Brexit and disastrous austerity, and now British living standards are slipping behind even middle income countries

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @MariaMillerUK Err... What? Blimey.

[Jack Lewars @JackLewars]

@dc_lawrence @DavidLammy @ChathamHouse Inspirational speech, setting out a positive vision for the UK's engagement with the world - not the isolationist, diplomacy-by-press-release chaos of the last 6 years

[David Lawrence @dc_lawrence]

Stephanie's story shows that the Government has failed in its most fundamental duty: to keep us safe. The Conservatives must take responsibility.
