Ben Bradley has spent 7 years failing the people of Nottinghamshire. He is now asking folk to forget his record.
@ClaireWard4EM
has a plan to:
Build new homes🏡
Improve our bus services🚌
Fix the roads 🛣
The choice this Thursday in Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire is clear:
Give Tory MP, three-jobs Ben ‘Pothole’ Bradley his 4th taxpayer-funded job, when he’s presided over the worst pothole crisis on our roads ever.
Or a fresh start & credible leadership with Labour’s

Juliet will be building on our Borough of Sanctuary work, ensure that the council is reaching out into all of Lewisham's communities and voluntary sector, and take on public health.
Great to hear
@DrRosena
speaking on this major health inequality
@UKLabour
taking steps to address mental health services across the country and across communities.
Today in Parliament, we've put forward our plan to transform mental health services across the country. It includes more staff, specialists in schools, hubs in communities, treatment within a month.
I was proud to lead the debate for

The residents of

Yesterday I had a fabulous day out attending the Swan Lake performance at

It was lovely to meet the school's Headteacher Mr Hutchinson, pupils and staff and discuss the importance of creative subjects.
Today marks 75 years since passengers arrived from the Caribbean at Tilbury Docks on the HMT Empire Windrush. They were among thousands invited to relocate to Britain to address labour shortages. Their contributions, sacrifices & achievements are tremendous
From the NHS to business, the contribution of the Windrush generation runs deep.
But the Tories have failed to treat them and their families with dignity and respect.
Labour will fix the Windrush compensation scheme to get the Windrush generation the compensation they are owed.
Thrilled to see
@LouHaigh
announce Labour's pledge to renationalise the rails! 🚆
It's time to prioritise passengers over profits, ensuring affordable, reliable, and accountable public transport for all.
Let's put people first and build a fairer, more efficient railway system🌹
Britain’s railways are broken.
Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system.
Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first.
@ClaireWard4EM
is the only Mayoral candidate that can bring change to the East Midlands. After 14 years of Conservative mismanagement, we need a Mayor with the expertise and skills that Claire will bring. Vote

Now he wants the keys to the East Midlands Mayoral Office.
He can’t do the three jobs he’s got - why on earth would anyone trust him with a fourth job!
On 2 May, it’s time for experienced, proven, credible leadership with

as the first East Midlands Mayor.
