What a year 2022 has been! Life changing in so many ways, for both me and my family.
The highlight of course was being elected to Parliament in June, and in doing so helping to deliver the first by-election victory for @UKLabour in over a decade. (and the back of Boris Johnson!)
A @UKLabour Government will:
✂️ Cut sewage discharges by 90%
👀 Deliver mandatory sewage outlet monitoring
💰 Introduce automatic fines for discharges
✂️ Cut water leakes in half
🧢 Cap customer water bills
🛡️ Protect vital investment
🚨 Sanction failing water bosses
The Christmas story is a reminder of hope in difficult times.
Our shared values of generosity and compassion shine brightest at this time of year.
From all of us at the Labour Party, we wish you and your family a very happy Christmas. 🎄
Today I voted for nurses not non-doms.
@UKLabour will abolish non-dom tax status and instead use that money to train a new generation of nurses, midwives and doctors to treat patients on time again.
The abuse shown here to young members is disgraceful. Solidarity with @bh_younglabour, @YoungLabourUK groups everywhere and all young people fighting for Labour across the country!
Home Office says 50 Diptheria cases from Manston.
Why did they fail to introduce full screening/vaccinations weeks ago?
Why are they still not screening everyone they moved out of Manston?
This is a chaotic failure.
Where is the Home Secretary?
What is she even for? /1
If anyone follows Wakefield politics @mywakefield Tory Group Leader Tony Homewood has resigned, but will stay on as an Independent.
Come the January Council @LabourWakefield Leader @denisemjeffery & Deputy @JackSHemingway will be facing their 4th Tory Group Leader in 18 months!
It’s unacceptable for a former MP to claim expenses after resigning for such a crime.
I’ve written to @ipsaUK calling for an investigation into this case and a review into the rules to make sure this can’t happen again.
Next Saturday the 3rd December we’ll be out for @annalouisedixon in the key target seat of Shipley!
For any more details or if you have any issues on the day please DM @EleanorFalshaw or @BenMcGowan_

Great to chat to Police & Crime Commissioner & Deputy Mayor - Alison Lowe (@alison_4life) earlier about the challenges of anti social behaviour in Wakefield, Horbury and Ossett.
Thanks also to everyone who completed my survey. It all helps my campaign for more support👍🚨

This is a devastating report. All our thoughts must be with families who lost loved ones, those who were there & affected by the appalling attack on that terrible night. To see the way in which the emergency services response that night was inadequate will only deepen the pain /1
Our region has had the most amazing support from volunteers across the country in the past two years with our victories with @kimleadbeater in Batley & Spen and @simonlightwood in Wakefield.
If you can I would urge you to now help ensure we have a @UKLabour win in Chester 🌹
