In May, @UKLabour proposed to force the government to publish the surveys which detailed the condition of every school building in the country. Nearly 300 Conservative MPs - including #Mansfield's MP, Ben Bradley - voted down Labour's motion, choosing to hide the information.

3 years since @UKLabour elected @Keir_Starmer as our Leader. I’m proud to be a candidate for parliament under Keir’s leadership. In #mansfield we won’t take a single vote for granted and we know that we didn’t always get it right over the last 10 years. We will earn it.

My neighbours in #Mansfield work at Alstom in Derby and their jobs are highly at risk but Ben Bradley is not in Parliament today to fight for their jobs - campaigning for his own job #3 most likely. I will always fight for your job if elected as your MP here.
Parliament is debating the threat to thousands of good jobs in Derby and across Notts and Derbys as a result of the gap in orders for new trains. Ben Bradley, claims to stand up for our region, but isn’t here. He wants a 3rd job as our mayor but can’t even do the ones he’s got!

Rishi Sunak promised a government of integrity at every level, yet his own MPs are seemingly breaching the rules. He must act and remove the whip from those involved. @UKLabour will put an end to MPs raking in thousands of pounds on the side and act to restore trust in politics.

✅ Cast my first vote as MP for Mansfield at 10:30PM last night. I voted to defeat a Tory amendment stating that the Labour government has inherited "improved economic conditions". No humility. No self-reflection. Still in total denial about the ruin they left the country in.
