@AlexHarrisonLCN@rwparkinson Alex and Robert I note Momentum is reminding Labour members that our Government is delivering good policies for all e.g. workers rights and green. Best wishes
When I had a mobile phone snatched by a biker, I gave the police precise GPS details of its two UK locations, including Google maps pictures of front doors. The police refused to go to the addresses or investigate.
This was maddening. The officers said they were not allowed to act on GPS locational data - and also that there are so many street crimes that they can’t cope. But they did want to visit me to take a pointless statement and offer me victim support, when what I actually wanted was my phone back. It is now in Algeria.
The police are significantly under-resourced but there is also an issue about how the existing resources are being deployed.
The Home Secretary says she will give the police the power to act on location data. But it is unclear when this will happen, and why the police can’t even now simply go to a property and knock on a door as a warning to the thieves that they are being watched. And as for the failure to use cctv images, don’t get me started.
Of course thefts and crimes such as the one I experienced are trivial compared to many that go unsolved. Which is why what is reported below will resonate widely.
PS I am not being funny but I thought the most counter-intuitive aspect of the Louise Haigh case is that a decade ago the police took an interest in where her phone might be
Finally I got the picture 😮
Snowy Durdle door in Dorset
One of my most memorable moments, capturing this very rare image. The fact that we never really get snow down south and especially at such an iconic tourist attraction such as Durdle Door!
This Labour Government has a moral obligation to do everything in our power to build the homes people desperately need.
Our New Homes Accelerator will get shovels in the ground.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, local GOP leaders in Pennsylvania are banding together to support Kamala Harris. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and even Republicans acknowledge it. Retweet so all Americans see this.
Elizabeth Marsh, Branch member, and Member of @LabourCC was delighted to attend a Reception at the Houses of Parliament organised by Labour Coast & Country for MP’s and Peers, an opportunity for those who’d been endorsed to meet each other.
🚨🚨INCIDENT IN SOUTHPORT
Police have confirmed tonight that the 17 yo lives in Banks and originates from Cardiff.
They have confirmed that he was born in Cardiff
The tweet that he is an asylum seeker who arrived by boat last year known to MI6 and mental health services allegedly from a parent at the event therefore - IS FALSE

I’m stunned. I really mean that.
Rishi Sunak has, since his loss, transformed into an eloquent, measured, witty, gracious, sombre statesman who is truly interesting to listen to… attentively.
Where was this man before? I’m asking in all seriousness.
A great night for Labour & the country, sadly here in South Leicestershire not the result we were hoping for @rwparkinson
Rob thanked everyone who placed their confidence in him, it was a great campaign & he’s really pleased to have stood for election in the area he grew up in
