@BBHLabour
team out tonight 🌹
One of the highlights of 2022 for me was hosting a
@LewishamCouncil
citizenship ceremony- welcoming our residents as new citizens, 4 years after I was in their place. Such a beautiful celebration of our borough's diversity 🌟
The General Election is a choice between more chaos with the Tories or positive change with Labour. I would put the needs of our community first, advocating on your behalf on issues such as the NHS, transport, education 1/2
Absolutely delighted to hear from

Fabulous reception today in Bromley Common and Holwood for team
@BBHLabour
- people are enthusiastic about casting their vote for Labour on the 4th of July 🌹
In Bromley and Biggin Hill, only Labour can beat the Tories. Your choice at this election is between a Labour Government or five more years of chaos under the Conservatives.
We reduced a Tory majority of 15k to only 300 and spoke to thousands of people. Looking forward to the Labour Government and the change we so desperately need! 🌹
Done my civic duty for the newly formed Bromley and Biggin Hill constituency. I know
@OanaOlaru92
will make a fantastic MP helping end 14 years of misery. Obligatory dog shot
#dogsatpollingstations
After fourteen years of broken promises and economic chaos under the Conservatives, I have five simple pledges to
#Bromley

With only 4 days to go until the General Election, we've had incredibly positive responses on the doorsteps of
#Bromley
and
#BigginHill
, with residents keen to have better transport, an NHS back on its feet and cleaner energy with GB Energy.
Today's fantastic team in Plaistow, with many residents voting Labour as only Labour can deliver the change we need in
#Bromley
and
#BigginHill
and nationally.
Residents across Plaistow and Bromley Common & Holwood are planning to vote for

Lots of support for the Labour Party in Plaistow today- including quite a few teachers talking about the lack of investment over the past 14 years. Vote

Such disappointing news that the Bromley Picturehouse is planning to close- it's such an iconic cultural destination and I've always loved watching movies there. Hopefully the decision can be reversed.
Fantastic evening speaking with
@RMTunion
members in Bromley, followed by an incredibly positive canvass in Bromley Common. Only
@LabourParty
will deliver a new deal for working people, making work pay and giving workers their voices back.
Out on the doorsteps in Downham- lots of support for

It's been an honour attending the first Romania-UK Bilateral Forum, with many topics covered from security and energy to communities and education. Looking forward to this collaboration continuing for years to come.
Fantastic response in sunny

There is nothing more symbolic of the state of our country after 14 years of Conservative neglect than our pothole ridden roads. The state of many roads in Bromley & Biggin Hill show the effects of austerity.
Labour will make our roads better and safer for drivers and cyclists.
Brilliant day on the

A pleasure to be part of this campaign. I believe every resident, no matter where they are from, should have the right to vote. As a Romanian in the UK, I've been disenfranchised on many occasions- including in the EU referendum, which directly impacted my life.
