Labour's parliamentary candidate for Basingstoke 🌹
Promoted by Andy McCormick on behalf of Luke Murphy, both at 47 Winchester Street, Basingstoke, RG21 7EF

The failed court challenge to
#ULEZ
by 5 Conservative run councils, including Bromley, was a colossal waste of taxpayers' money
The £140,000 spent by Bromley council on the legal challenge could have (approx):

Warm reception on the door, residents pleased to see

out listening to them about the issues that matter to them
We all use the same water to drink, shower & swim, it’s the lifeblood of society
Debt in the water industry debt has ⬆️, sewage fills our rivers, public hit w higher bills, while investors make huge profits
It's a damning indictment of gov policy & regulation
Me on CH4 news...
Our MP & the Tories promised a new hospital for Basingstoke by 2030
They broke that promise, the funding hasn't even been confirmed
Now more empty gestures
The Tories must be judged on their actions - on the hospital they've failed
Time for change

Congrats to all who brought this about
@TSSAunion
@ASLEFunion
@RMTunion
The Tories’ shambolic plans have fallen apart.
They have finally admitted their damaging proposals put accessibility and jobs at risk.
What an utterly colossal waste of time and taxpayers’ money, and another example of how this broken government’s time is up.

Was pleased to be on the panel today to respond to Ed's speech on how Labour wld grasp the opportunities of the green transition through investment & ambitious industrial policy
Net zero = millions of quality jobs, build prosperity & spread opportunity
Disgraceful comments by Bob Stewart
He brings parliament & his position as a representative for Beckenham into disrepute
I hope he’s disciplined by his party or parliament for this but his constituents will have their say at the next election
The government has failed to put in place an industrial strategy that could have seized the growth opportunity of clean steel & is instead presiding over 000’s of job losses at Port Talbot
