People are fed up with politicians playing political games just to suit themselves. It's clear Rishi has lost control of his party. Ashfield deserves so much better than this. We need a fresh start with a Labour government and a Labour MP for Ashfield so we can get our future.

Pitting people against each other is a cheap and obvious distraction tactic. We need a government that is focused on the real challenges in Ashfield and across Britain. #GeneralElectionNow.
Conservative MP Lee Anderson tells GB News that he thinks Sadiq Khan has "given our capital city away" to Islamists, who are "his mates". "Islamists have got control of Khan and theyโve got control of London," he says.

Our Ashfield MP and this Tory government today had the chance to stop the dumping of sewage in our coastal waters. But instead they chose to continue to treat our coast like a sewer. It's time we dumped this government! #TorySewageScandal #VoteLabour.@AshfieldLabour

Pleasure to welcome @LouHaigh MP to Ashfield. Pot holes is the most common concern raised so it was a good to show our Shadow Transport Secretary how bad it is here and why we need long term investment in our roads.
A sunny day out in Ashfield with the fabulous @RheaKeehn . Voters are sick to the back teeth of Tory chaos and underinvestment. And what they had to say about their current local MP is untweet-able!

Its frustrating to see Ben Bradley MP claim he'll fix the roads as Mayor - he's already a County Councillor and an MP and hasn't fixed them ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I'm choosing @ClaireWard4EM for Mayor instead.
Ben Bradley MP (Tory) leads Nottinghamshire County Council. Hereโs his appalling track record on โfixing Nottinghamshireโs roadsโ.๐๐ป. Why on earth would you hand him the keys to the East Mids Mayoral office & let him loose on billions of pounds worth of public services.

Full on weekend speaking to residents and enjoying the spring time blooms. Apart from potholes, main comment was 'Ashfield and the country has been neglected, we need Labour to fix it'. I agree & that is why we need a Labour MP so Ashfield gets the brighter future it deserves.

Clear steps for change. This is exactly what we need in Ashfield. Time and time again residents tell me they want more teachers in our schools and anti-social behaviour to be dealt with. With a Labour government we can make that happen.
Six first steps for change. 1. Deliver economic stability. 2. Cut NHS waiting times. 3. Launch a new Border Security Command. 4. Set up Great British Energy. 5. Crack down on antisocial behaviour. 6. Recruit 6,500 new teachers. Fully funded and ready to go.

Today we mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. I cannot express highly enough the gratitude I have for those who served. To stand up and take action took remarkable bravery and courage, and is something we must never forget. We owe our today because of their actions.
Today, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the Labour Party honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our countryโs safety and security. We will remember them.

Ben's guide to campaigning. 1. Make something up about the opposition .2. Launch campaign to stop the thing that isn't happening .3. Declare a victory when the thing that wasn't happening doesn't happen. He lacks the integrity to be EastMids Mayor. #vote @ClaireWard4EM.
Pleased that raising this issue and highlighting the statements Labour have made on ULEZ led to a rethink in Nottingham. Following the launch of my petition, Labour have publicly come out against a Nottingham ULEZ scheme for the first time. Pretty effect campaign, in my book ๐.

For my Wellingborough friends, from 8th November you can sign the recall petition against Peter Bone. How many more times must we put up with bullies in politics? Bullying is not acceptable and those responsible should be kicked out. #RecallPetition.
The recall petition to end Peter Boneโs time as an MP following his suspension for bullying and sexual misconduct opens 8th November at 9am and closes 19th December. The venues are below๐. You deserve better. This is your chance to elect someone better.
