Lovely afternoon in Brighton with the exceptional Leader @BellaSankey for Lucy Listens. Bella & the Brighton team took on the Greens, beat them and are now delivering progressive policies for the area. We can learn from them.
Lucy is committed to championing our councillors and mayors as Deputy Leader. They are the foundation of our party and communities across the country @UKLabour@LucyMPowell#localgov 🌹💪
I really want this government to succeed and I’ve always worked to that end.
But we can’t just pretend everything is going great and what we need is more of the same.
I will make sure we are connected to our communities and make better decisions.
NEW: @mainstreamlbr endorses Lucy Powell for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. In a special ballot, 82.2�of Mainstream members voted to endorse Lucy. Labour’s Mainstream wants the party and government to be reset in line with pluralist, democratic socialist values.
At our meeting tonight, Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton CLP proudly nominated Lucy Powell for Deputy Leader. Lucy has the experience, campaigning grit and unity to take Labour forward and win. @Jimfromoldham#Labour#DeputyLeader
Today, the Government is announcing its Pride in Place Programme.
With the Community Right to Buy at its heart, this programme is a solid step toward building Community Britain, with measures we've pioneered with our movement for years.
The future of this country is community.
Labour is at its best when we are clear about whose side we are on, and in whose interests we serve, when our values shine through.
I want us to be clear that our objective is to lift children out of poverty and that will mean we need to lift the 2 child benefit cap.
He'd be a fool to try. As a "Prince over the Water" a contrived by-election in the current climate, to get him into Westminster would be his Culloden.
