£1.8m from nurses, firefighters, posties & school support staff to help elect working people as Labour MPs. Or £10m to the Conservatives from a bloke who said the first black female MP elected in the UK should be shot. I know whose side I’m on.

Ignore the polls. Ignore Tory attempts to suppress the Labour vote. Don’t forget what the Tories have done to our country over the last 14 years. Vote for change! Vote Labour! Vote. Vote. Vote. 🗳️

Today I met Enid, who is in her 80s. She reached out, held my hand & said ‘Don’t let me down, I want to see Labour back in govt & things get better again.’ Enid recently lost her husband after 67 yrs together. She reminded me of my Nana, who I miss. I won’t let you down Enid.

A sad and wretched act. Gedling & Nottingham opened their hearts & homes to children of the Kindertransport. Desecrating a Holocaust Memorial is utterly unforgivable. I’m in touch with Gedling Borough Council about this. If we find those responsible, they will pay the price.

Ben Bradley MP leads Tory-run Nottinghamshire County Council. Thanks to his failure, you’re likely to hit a pothole & damage your vehicle on every road you drive on. On his watch Special Educational Needs & Disabilities services for children in Notts have ‘widespread failings’.
