If you 'stayed up until Portillo' you will definitely want to keep awake for this. Imagine a 🚂driver winning against Grant Shapps! I need your help to make it happen. Select Julian Vaughan as the Labour candidate for #WelwynHatfield

Working with others for the benefit of all is a concept so alien to the Tories they can't get their heads around it. As a proud trade unionist, I will always work with unions to improve our workplaces and communities for everyone. Thank you to all the unions who have backed me.

Labour’s core values are fairness and equality. It’s time for @UKLabour to include a fairer voting system, where everyone’s vote counts equally, as a flagship policy in the next manifesto.

Fantastic to see @unisontheunion has just passed a motion to back proportional representation at Westminster. The UK’s largest union has added its voice to the growing movement for fairer votes and to scrap the outdated FPTP system. @Labour4PR #UNDC22

Time and again the corporate elite in the UK have evaded any form of accountability or justice. The Horizon scandal must be a turning point. @Janetsk20073533 @CastletonLee @chrish9070

Selection campaign or not, I still have to undertake my duties as an @ASLEFunion H&S Rep. Track walks under London last night. Thankfully, I’ve never needed to use a refuge to dodge an approaching train 🙂 Union H&S reps across the UK protect their members & the public. ✊

@BBCPolitics It’s this Tory government that are at odds with British values. Happy to trash our global reputation in a desperate attempt to cling to power.

The upcoming GE will result in the #PostOfficeScandal dropping out of the news cycle. However, we must keep pressing for truth in the many scandals inflicted by the state on the public. Above all, there must be justice to drive the culture change needed.

This is what the Lib Dems were putting out in Mid Beds yesterday. This should be the final nail in the coffin for the Lib Dem bar chart.

The GP advised me to “go out and do things you enjoy”, so it was great to be out canvassing for @alistrathern in Campton earlier! A pleasure to chat to an 85 year old lifelong Conservative voter, who will be voting for Alistair on 19th October 🌹 #ali4midbeds #turningmidbedsred
