[Wakefield District Young Labour @WakefieldDYL]

Great to have so many Wakefield young members come to the @NPCLabour Garden Party with @YvetteCooperMP, @EdBalls and special guests @SimonLightwood and @PaulaSherriff!

[Simon Lightwood MP @simonlightwood]

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!)

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

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 Labour Party @UKLabour]

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. 🎄

[Simon Lightwood MP @simonlightwood]

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.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Watching the match in Leeds⁩ with ⁦@lisanandy⁩ ⁦@TracyBrabin⁩ ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ & ⁦@GordonBrown⁩

[Daniel Wilton @DanielWilton6]

Definitely caught the by-election bug!

Out today in #StretfordAndUrmston for @AndrewHWestern with @jreynoldsMP, @JeffSmithetc and @KateGreenSU.

Excellent response on the doors. Don’t forget to #VoteLabour 15th December.

[Wakefield District Young Labour @WakefieldDYL]

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!

[Peter Kyle @peterkyle]

The A-Team!

@bh_younglabour on fine formidable form for the Wish by election. They’ve earned their lunch at The Stoneham Pub 😅

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

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

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]

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!

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

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.

[Labour Students @LabourStudents]

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_

[Wakefield District Young Labour @WakefieldDYL]

Congrats! A victory for these workers but equally a victory for trade unionism!

[Unison Wakefield District Branch @UnisonWakey]

This #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember those who went before us in the march of equality, those whose lives were tragically cut short by the cruel hand of discrimination and transphobia.

[Wakefield District Young Labour @WakefieldDYL]

We are very proud of @toheedkhanmyp, who is one of our local young members, for speaking in the @HouseofCommons yesterday! #UKYPHoC @UKYP

[Simon Lightwood MP @simonlightwood]

Wonderful to listen to some of the passionate speeches by members of the @UKYP in the @HouseofCommons this weekend.

Particular congratulations to @toheedkhanmyp who is the MYP for Wakefield West👏

[Simon Lightwood MP @simonlightwood]

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👍🚨

Poor sleep is linked to mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Making a habit of sticking to a sleep schedule helps train your body to sleep better.

For more helpful tips on improving your sleep, book your spot at our upcoming webinar: https://t.co/W2LVNQ4oq3 💙

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

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

[Sam Forster @sdforster]

We all love a day on the #labourdoorstep

[Paul Nicholson @pmnicholson]

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 🌹
