Still can’t quite believe this happened! Incredible to see @Keir_Starmer walking into No10 today and to know that @LabSouthSwindon played our part in securing that victory. The hard work starts today.

@isojackal Thanks!

The final push before polling day - let’s go turn #Swindon red! Vote for change tomorrow. #VoteLabour.

@neilrobinson_88 It's been round the loop so many times now I'm getting a bit dizzy. But I can't see it getting approved in this iteration any more than the previous ones. Suspect we'll go round and round again with yet another variation in due course...

@RobNewmanLab Good luck Rob!

The Growth problem…

I went to Swindon, ultimate political bellwether, economically totemic, former fastest growing town in Europe. unemployment is below 3%, but loss of Honda factory, town centre decline, has some locals concerned…

Elect me as your MP on Thursday 04 July and I will set up and lead a new town centre taskforce to breathe new life into the heart of #Swindon.

It’s time for change in our town. It’s time for a fresh start. Time to #VoteLabour.

[Heidi Alexander MP @Heidi_Labour]

So this happened! Thank you @JennyChapman and @BlaenauGwentMP for helping me launch my campaign to be the next MP for Swindon South! #VoteLabour #Swindon

Young people are living in a "comfort zone" and must be forced out of it, says James Cleverly.

A reminder of what that zone now looks like for most young people

Swindon Council Result #LE2024:

LAB: 14 (+9)
CON: 6 (-9)

Council Now: LAB 41, CON 15, LDM 1.
Labour HOLD.

[Patrick Herring @PatrickSwindon]

@dale_heenan @SwindonTories @gsum66 Labour +9 seats, Tories reduced to a rump 15 seats on the whole council. If this is a #fightback, I've got to say I'm enjoying it so far.

Perhaps a smidge of introspection on why your party continues to haemorrhage seats? Or you can just pretend that this is absolutely fine...

[Patrick Herring @PatrickSwindon]

@SannSwindon @petersketch @Heidi_Labour @BAdamsLab Aldi special, iirc. We know how to live.
