Labour cannot defeat Reform by chasing Reform.

We have to return to the values we were founded on: standing up for working people, tackling inequality and injustice, investing in public services, and improving living standards.

If we get this wrong, the danger of Farage and his Trump-style politics entering Downing Street is real.

The privatisation of life’s essentials has been an unmitigated disaster. We must put forward a plan to reverse it.

Watch @switherdenMP set out how vital EU trade is for UK farmers and businesses and the potential benefits a food and drink deal can bring to them and the UK economy.

Today's the day. If you want a local, community-first, socialist candidate representing you in the Senedd, get out and vote for Ian, vote Welsh Labour in Gwynedd Maldwyn.

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

For local, community-first candidates representing you in Gwynedd Maldwyn, vote Welsh Labour tomorrow.

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

Why are Reform running advertisements asking Welsh readers to vote in London?

Are they incompetent, or do they just not care about Wales?

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

Petty, ridiculous, clickbait policymaking - and profoundly authoritarian. To be expected from these chancers. Reform are simply not interested in leading, only dividing. Vote Labour

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

Great to see you too Andrew and thanks for all your hard work.

[Andrew Ruscoe ⚽️ @AndrewRuscoe]

A pleasure to catch up with @switherdenMP this afternoon as he was in @Tesco, Cefn Mawr supporting @WrexhamFoodbank. So it was only right to donate 12 cans of Baked Beans to help those in need. Wrexham Foodbank do so much amazing work. Good to see you Steve as always sir :)

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

She’s absolutely right. This was a vile attack on the Jewish community and an attack on Britain too. Violence against British Jews - and political violence of any kind - has no place here.

[LBC @LBC]

“An attack on British Jews in my constituency is an attack on Britain itself.”

Ian, my senior caseworker, would be an excellent Senedd Member. His heart is completely in the right place and he's an incredibly hard worker - I've never had so many late night messages. Gwynedd Maldwyn would be lucky to have him.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

I welcome the Government’s announcement to carry the Hillsborough Law into the next Parliamentary session, which means we can keep fighting to implement the Hillsborough Law in full.

Ministers must now end the delays and deliver the law in full - and end the damaging media briefings during this process.

Prison sentence for ex-RBS banker over bribery linked to GRG scandal by a Scottish Court.

Extorted £274,811 between 2012 and 2016 from clients, threatened financial hardship unless they paid bribes.

Bankers can be jailed but are indulged in England.

Reject the politics of cruelty and division.

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

The public deserves better than this.

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

She's right, the United States have proven to be an unreliable ally and we need to start looking elsewhere - to Europe.

It won't be easy, but sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that the US has our best interests at heart just isn't cutting it anymore.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Today, on the 37th anniversary of Hillsborough, I stood in the Commons as Parliamentary lead of the Hillsborough Law campaign and with a profound sense of obligation to the 97, their families including my constituent Debbie Matthews, survivors, and all victims of state cover‑ups.

I asked the Prime Minister to use the power of his office to make good on his promise to finally deliver a full Hillsborough Law that is worthy of the name.

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

We have some excellent, local, socialist candidates standing for the Senedd here in Gwynedd Maldwyn, including my very own caseworker @IanParry95, an incredibly hardworking man and a standout member of my team.

Very proud to have these candidates standing for Welsh Labour.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Trump's reckless willingness to talk in such terms of the death of a whole civilisation, as with his reference to the Stone Age, must be understood as a threat to civilians and civilians infrastructure.

He must step back from the brink - and be told to do so by UK govt.
