Given the irresponsible way this platform is run by Elon Musk, I now spend far less time here.
Where I do spend lots of time is in our community, listening and supporting people in Welwyn Hatfield.

Last week, my opponent volunteered to go on TV to attack Angela Rayner.
Now he's asked questions about the Mark Menzies story, he says he, "can't comment."
This is one of the many reasons Grant Shapps is losing support in Welwyn Hatfield.
People are fed up with such hypocrisy.

Thank you to
#bbcqt
for sharing this graphic.
It tells the story of the NHS over the last 20 years.
Record funding under Labour, with the results to show for it.
Deep and sustained cuts by the Tories and Lib Dems, resulting in the crisis we have today.

I won't rush to a decision about whether to leave, but after the reprehensible behaviour of Elon Musk this week, I will be here less.
Musk is using his platform to sow division and fan the flames of hate.
It is indefensible

Average pay increases in the last year:
-Earning £180,000: 7.9%
-Earning £59,000: 5.5%
-Earning £26,000: 4.7%
Anyone who tells you that ordinary public servants are driving inflation is not telling the truth.

Hatfield is 30 minutes on a train to Kings Cross.
Thousands of people in our community commute to London every day.
Yet my opponent decides he needs to take a helicopter and charge the taxpayer for it.
Behaviour like this is why trust in politics is so low.
We must do better.

Feels like the day to reshare this report on the damage the Tory Brexit deal (voted for by Rishi Sunak) has done to our economy.
We need a much better deal with the EU, closer alignment and more co-operation.
And we need a Labour government to do it.

After 14 years of the Conservatives, trust in politics is in short supply.
Our government will do all we can to rebuild it.
No longer will taxpayers in Welwyn Hatfield have to pick up the bill for ministers to fly by helicopter across the country.

I've never been on a helicopter and am okay with that.
Turns out my Conservative opponent has been using RAF helicopters to fly short distances to meetings, at the taxpayers expense.
Want to help me beat Grant Shapps and win for Labour?

As

blusters and has the audacity to blame Doctors for the state of NHS, here is a reminder of how the Conservatives have cut the pay of all NHS staff in government.
This is not a party or a Prime Minister that values our NHS.

Grant Shapps has written to voters in Welwyn Hatfield, saying there are two possible outcomes here.
1. He is re-elected.
2. I am elected as a local Labour MP
He's right.
It's precisely why so many former Lib Dems told us yesterday they are voting Labour. They're voting for change

That's my focus and will be for every day of this campaign.🌹 📞
Grant Shapps just rang

A year ago, I was selected for Welwyn Hatfield.
A year from now, the GE will be over.
Either I will be the Labour MP for my home seat, or it will be Grant Shapps.
We need to win Welwyn Hatfield to form a government. If you can, I'd really value your help.

You'll hear plenty of Conservative MPs congratulating themselves on UK inflation now standing at 4.6%.
In the US it is 3.2%.
In the Eurozone: 2.9%
Inflation is falling everywhere, but has been higher and more persistent in UK. This is nothing to celebrate

The Conservatives have had 13 years in government. Trashed the economy, run our public services into the ground & diminished the UK's influence on the world stage.
The response of the Prime Minister?
Pick a fight with councils over speed limits.
Pathetic.

I won't be alone in weighing up whether to leave X.
We are now on a platform run by someone who talks up 'civil war', seemingly with relish.
It's equally vital that mainstream voices are not drowned out by him, his bots & algorithms.
I'm here for now, just less often.

"So, would you say you are 10 out of 10 to vote Labour sir?"
"No, I'd say I am 20 out of 10!"

They are more than ready to vote for change🌹

Congratulations to Grant Shapps on his new role as Defence Secretary.
Having taken jobs under Cameron, Johnson, Truss & Sunak, nobody is more closely associated with the Conservative record of failure in government over the last 13 years.

Parliament sat yesterday for the first time since the violent disorder over the summer.
Months after being welcomed to Downing Street by the Conservatives, Elon Musk amplified extremist accounts and said we were heading for 'civil war'.

I won't share his incendiary tweets, but Grant Shapps hit a new low today.
He is seeking to stir fear and anger on immigration. After 13 years, it's all he has left to offer.
Help us beat the politics of division. Help me beat Grant in Welwyn Hatfield.

A vote for Labour in Welwyn Hatfield is a vote to rescue the River Lea.
In 2023, sewage was dumped into the Lea at Mill Green for 79 hours.
Labour will end the sewage scandal.
