@Vdweller Unlike BJ who only ever lies when he opens his mouth

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@HampshireElects According to independent observers of local council by elections the rate of Tory losses nationally this past year is exceeded only by 1994. Can we look forward to Tory wipeouts next May in Southampton, Test Valley and BCP?

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Yvonne Frampton for being the new ward councillor for Bitterne Ward. An area that has been Conservative for years, but finally coming back to Labour now!

Thank you to local residents for backing your Labour Council today 🌹🙏

@JMoultonSoton @dailyecho A rudimentary examination of the facts indicate that the police have arrested a 46 year old female driver of a BMW car under suspicion of drink driving. Nothing to do with Labour's proposals for the Broadway.

Absolutely brilliant to have the support of our local MP, Councillor Renyard, and Community Police Team for Respect for Shopworkers Campaign

@BecksyRuddick @LabourSatvir @UsdawSouthern @UsdawUnion It was a great honour to be able to show my support for our shopworkers. They were literally a lifeline for us during the COVID lockdown periods.

@JMoultonSoton I don't think you ever got over Steve Leggett beating you for Freemantle in 2018. I hope that isn't clouding your judgement.

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@JMoultonSoton It's odd that Donna Jones hasn't voiced criticisms of those Tory Councils which adopted similar measures for similar reasons. She is also not telling the truth by stating she secured Government money for the Bargate Safer Streets project. This happened before she was elected.

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

Can someone help me please? I can't understand why all those Conservative MPs who resist growing calls for a General Election voted to repeal the Fixed Term Parliament Act which set in legislation a general election every five years.

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@D_J_Fuller How on earth is the cancellation of the Christmas Market the responsibility of a Labour Council? Sounds like the Tories locally are getting pretty desperate!

[Satvir Kaur @LabourSatvir]

Great to officially launch Southampton’s Park and Ride on the west of the city today - huge thanks to everyone involved that made this possible.

Over 1000 parking spaces here, to help make it easier and quicker to travel to and from Southampton General Hospital and into our city

[Southampton Travel @scchighways]

High traffic volumes are expected in the city this weekend due to several cruise departures and football at St Marys Stadium.

Please plan any journeys to the City Centre or the waterfront in advance as it will be busy.

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@freemantlelab Nice work, Steve

"Labour can say to the public: look, we're going to reform the way votes work, we're going to reform the way politics works, and we're going to make it work for you."

@AndyBurnhamGM calls on Labour conference to back Proportional Representation #Labour4PR #Lab22 ✊ 🌹

Me and the fabulous Ukulele Jam at Freemantle Lake Park earlier celebrating the Friends Group Great Get Together. Fabulous

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@Southampton_eye @ABPSouthampton @scchighways Imagine if football at St Mary's was not cancelled today

[Darren Paffey MP @darrenpaffey]

Nothing will change, if anything it'll get worse.
Truss has been in the Tory gov't that's trashed our communities, economy, security and global reputation for 12 years. Truss backed Johnson to the last, so will continue to bluster, mislead, protect the rich and kick the poorest.

[Dave Shields @freemantledave]

@darrenpaffey @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer Does Royston Smith mean he would prefer Boris Johnson as our Prime Minister or does he really not have a clue?

Local Labour councillors showing their support this morning for striking CWU members outside the Shirley, Southampton sorting office.

[Satvir Kaur @LabourSatvir]

The Tories decided to use your money fixing private roads in our wealthiest area, while closing a leisure centre in our poorest communities.

Your new Labour Council want to level up our city and have reversed this decision today!

Southampton labour delivering on our promise🌹
