All welcome and encouraged to attend (karaoke optional!)

@DanielHewittITV A backbench MP who was elected under false pretences — time for him to resign and see if the good people of Barrow support him or the party. I know who my money would be on, and so does he, which is why he will cling on.

Trudy Harrison’s record on the NHS:

Voted against scrapping the public sector/NHS pay cap in 2017. ❌

Voted against student nursing bursaries in 2018. ❌

Voted against proper NHS funding since becoming an MP. ❌

Lots of kind words which don’t solve underlying problems. ✅

@JohnnyVegasReal @NHSEngland @TheLastLeg We’ve got an event in Whitehaven next weekend if you want to do something near the Lakes. You’d be most welcome Marra. #SaveOurNHS

Today on #ArmedForcesDay, I want to say to all of our veterans, service personnel and reserves, whether you are at home or overseas, thank you for all that you do.

We must do more to ensure that our duty to you matches your service to us.

[Tony Lywood @TonyForCopeland]

Happy #ArmedForcesDay2018. Sending my support and thanks to those who serve or have served in the armed forces. As a society and government we must do all we can to support members of the armed forces including when they leave the role. https://t.co/QX0UF8Clbq

Essential reading while the Tory MP for Copeland is celebrating one new Sunday service. The northern region has been let down time and again by the government, as anyone who ever travels on the overcrowded services between Barrow and Carlisle will testify. https://t.co/v8xpsQxsy3

My latest train rant. For everyone stuck on platforms who has been tweeting me in disbelief over the last few weeks

@mrdanwalker @BBCBreakfast @Jeremy_Hunt @DavidHarewood @stephbreakfast If @Jeremy_Hunt wants to pay tribute to our Tessa, you could ask him to get his government to reverse the cuts to the SureStart centres she was so proud of.

We must invest in the future of nuclear power & I am publicly calling for this Conservative govt to take a financial stake in Moorside now, to secure its future by underwriting it’s build to completion.

[Tony Lywood @TonyForCopeland]

Double attack by the Conservatives on the NHS. At the West Cumberland Hospital specialties dwindle due to underfunding and poor recruitment. Yet Theresa May blocks foreign doctors from filling that gap. https://t.co/g8hG1Lk65t

Copeland’s own @ScreamingFrank_ and @CarlLewthwaite play starting roles.

As Carl says, get out and vote @UKLabour

People are suffering under this heartless, hopeless Tory Government.
Now is the time to send Theresa May and her party a message.
Join the millions of people getting ready to #VoteLabour this Thursday.

Hear these stories and pass them on ↓

Rudd gone, May must follow. Scandal started when she was Home Secretary and she received the letter from Rudd re targets, so MUST have known she was lying on Friday.

Superb morning out in Mirehouse with the Copeland Labour Party litter pickers — over 30 bags filled. Well done guys!

[Copeland Labour CG @Labour_Copeland]

Great to see Labour councillors @mikecllr65 and Allan Foster out leading a community litter pick in Hensingham this morning. Well done guys! 👍 https://t.co/8QztKsl1cb

Re:Removal of stroke services from West Cumberland Hospital: Is Conservative MP Trudy Harrison ever going to stand up to Jeremy Hunt to defend our NHS? Has Ms Harrison ever voted in parliament against Tory NHS cuts which are every day threatening the W.Cumberland Hospital?(2/2)

[Tony Lywood @TonyForCopeland]

Plans to centralise Cumbria's stroke services to Carlisle create the danger of increased journey times for critical patients&risk further weakening the long term prospects of a fully resourced West Cumberland Hospital with a proper range of skills&services to serve local people. https://t.co/3SGhpspf63

[Copeland Labour CG @Labour_Copeland]

This is exactly what we are doing in Copeland. Opening up the CLP and making it more inclusive so that people become active.
Two great opportunities this Saturday if you’ve never been before (see pinned tweet) https://t.co/w4vuMWhBxy

[Copeland Labour CG @Labour_Copeland]

It’s the only sensible place to be.

[Copeland Labour CG @Labour_Copeland]

Great to see our candidate Tony, Copeland’s next MP, out meeting party members and their guests around the borough. https://t.co/bFQ5rijp26

[Tony Lywood @TonyForCopeland]

Thanks Egremont Labour Party Branch (& @thekarlconnor & John Burns) for inviting me to speak to you this week. Was great to see so many of you there and to hear your views. Our members are gold dust. Let's keep giving them opportunities to voice their opinions and be involved.
