is getting for bagging too many nominations
Are they serious?
She’s gone out of her way to encourage many colleagues to support those not over the threshold.
I know, although, I am supporting her, I haven’t nominated her.

Great to catch up w/ Wes Streeting about Labour’s plan for the NHS in Bromsgrove.
Wes said “Under the Tories, our NHS is in the worst crisis ever & Bromsgrove is paying the price. A vote for Neena is a vote for the NHS. Labour saved it before, w/your support we can do it again”

#Brexit
is costing UK economy £40bn/year. Heartbreaking that the UK’s wellbeing is being destroyed by the extremism & divisiveness of this despicable
#Tory
government.
Exhausting day 4 international observers but even more trying 4the voters, who queued patiently to vote but remaining professional when inside the polling stations. As were the Election officials managing the process. Well done all on a peaceful day

on your appointment to the shadow front bench team - great progress and a good start to the new year!
We had a really positive response in Breme Park yesterday evening speaking to residents. Lots of people supporting Labour’s plans to build a better Bromsgrove and a better Britain.
It is a great honour to be appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, in these very challenging times. Thank you
@Keir_Starmer
for giving me the chance to serve.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended my campaign fundraiser, including guest speaker

Opening of the new European Parliament - kicks off with the Ode to Joy with the Brexit Party & a Tory behaving childishly.
As they turn their backs to the chamber & the Tory sits it out.

You never did get it Dan,
did you .....,,we are in the transition period ..,...so nothing significantly will happen in the next 11 months. You can pack up misrepresenting.,,,,,we’re done & out of the EU. & you own this.
One day in and so far:
❌No food riots
❌No medicine shortages
❌No gridlocked motorways
❌No migrant camps in Kent
❌No collapse in house prices
❌No emergency tax rises
❌No world war
Weren't we told that "It's not Project Fear, it's Project Reality"?
I worked w/ Sir
#KimDarroch
when he was the head of

in

& also as

Amb. He was/is one of our finest civil servants then & a real asset & effective diplomat in

His forced resignation is a huge loss to

I do hope he remains in service 4

“The fact that Sir Kim has been bullied out of his job, because of Donald Trump's tantrums and Boris Johnson's pathetic lick-spittle response, is something that shames our country." –

Grateful to all who nominated and voted for me and to inspirational

I’ll continuing fighting hard to be a voice for the marginalised.
I believe Labour members will want to select from a broad church range of candidates at least in the deputy leader election.i hope therefore that sufficient support is given to Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler & Rosena Allin Khan to let them stand. They would all make great candidates
Today marks day14 of

Today, I opted for a meat free lunch on
#WorldVegetarianDay
. If we are serious about tackling
#ClimateChange
we will need to think about some of our eating habits, including our consumption of meat. My lunch was scrumptious so I say, give it a go!
If I am elected as your MP, I will champion keeping our streets safe and our communities protected.
Labour’s mission to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour means we will bring a front-facing police station back to Bromsgrove
After 14 years of Tory chaos, it's Time For CHANGE
The Conservatives have put the security of our country at risk by playing with gimmicks. Labour will stop the chaos and go after the criminal gangs who drive this crisis.
What an awesome, powerful speech
@JoeBiden
Congratulations to

I feel a little better about the world today. You’ve given many of us hope and a vision that resonates not just in the West but across the continents.
In this crucial

It's a real honour to be your Labour candidate for the General Election.
I've been out speaking to many of you, and I want to continue having those conversations with as many of you as possible over the coming weeks.

You might want to mark this evening with a celebratory cuppa ....at about twenty past nine, when it will be the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century. It doesn't happen very often.
