UPDATE ON SUFC 🦐

I said we would be writing on Monday but we’ve worked hard and a letter has been sent to the current owners today.

All the details 👇

Bayo Alaba is ready to serve.

He knows real life. He had a tough upbringing and began his working life on a building site.

He's a former British soldier, who served in the Parachute Regiment for 11 years.

He comes with experience under his belt and a life before politics.

[Labour East @EofELabour]

Congratulations, David Burton-Sampson, Labour's Parliamentary candidate for Southend West and Leigh!

[Southend Labour @SouthendLabour]

We launched our campaign for Bayo Alaba on Southend high street today.

After 14 years of Conservative government, local people feel let down.

It’s time for change. Vote Labour on July 4th 🌹

And last but by no means least, we are thrilled to introduce Cllr Matt Dent (@CllrDent) who will take the position of Cabinet member for Culture, Tourism, and Business.

Following yesterday’s special council meeting to remove the Conservative administration, Southend Labour is delighted to announce which of our councillors are part of the cabinet in the new joint administration agreement.

@BuckCllr @KeithEvansInd You really must read the post again, Cllr Buck. The detail is there and you have missed it again.

[Southend Labour @SouthendLabour]

@BuckCllr @KeithEvansInd It’s says “these groups”, Cllr Buck. The detail is there and it is correct if you choose to read it.

[Southend Labour @SouthendLabour]

@KeithEvansInd @gpdixon @JohnAustin101 How do you think it would work better if all 51 councillors were independent of each other? You’re making a powerful argument for political parties, with whom you at least know where you stand

[Southend Labour @SouthendLabour]

We are delighted to confirm that we have agreed with other groups to form an administration of 28 councillors to give Southend Council the leadership and stability it needs. https://t.co/pAbeQUrlNj
