Shocked and disappointed by the hustings yesterday.
Service should be above political point scoring.
My time as Royal Marines Commando is a privilege of a lifetime. It would be an honour to serve Plymouth in Parliament, as I served our nation before.
Good morning from Plymouth!
A few England supporters here 🏴
We’re out speaking to voters all day, come and say hello if you see us.
Vote for Change, vote for Labour on 4th July 🌹
Polls are now open across South West Devon.
Today is your chance to turn the page on 14 years of Conservative chaos.
Vote change. Vote Labour. Vote Sarah Allen.
In three days time, voters in South West Devon will finally get the chance to turn the page on 14 years of Conservative failure and 27 years of a Conservative MP taking our corner of Devon for granted
I’m really quite overwhelmed that my fellow Peverell citizens have elected me as Councillor. Thank you voters and volunteers who made this happen

A warm welcome for
@SWDevonLabour
in Ivybridge where residents were delighted to speak to us.
Apparently the Conservative candidate told residents here a few days ago that they wouldn’t see a Labour candidate out in South West Devon…
Thank you to the Labour supporters of South West Devon for your notes which were a record high, taking the Tory margin from 21,000 to 2000.
Congratulations to Rebecca Smith and I’m proud that we both ran a clean campaign.
Now to celebrate a

Union Barbie should be a thing, a role model for our children about the importance of democracy and knowing your rights.
Plus the placard and megaphone accessories would be cool 📣🪧💗
I’m pleased to support the

day of action today. £1.2bn has been cut from the

Really encouraging this morning speaking to residents or Glenholt in Plymouth.
Lifelong Conservative voters telling us they will lend us their postal vote this time.
Looking at the formation of a new cabinet and I realise it’s been while since ministers were appointed on the basis of knowing something about their area of responsibility rather than actively hating it.
I was pleased to attend the planting of a willow tree in memory of Terry Sweet and Bernard Hawke, which compliments the existing memorial bench near the Barn Park entrance to Central Park. Thank you to

Watching the GE announcement and the Downing Street protesters are blasting out Things Can Only Get Better. What a time to be alive

Thank you to all Peverell residents for your submissions to the Local Planning Authority and to
@LukePollard
and
@jeremy_goslin
. Fantastic teamwork from
@PlymouthLabour
and the local community 🌹
Big win for
#Peverell
as the Council rejects an application for an inappropriate 18m high mast. Great example of how a community can come together working with excellent local councillors
@jeremy_goslin
and
@peverellsarah
. We worked as a team to oppose this mast and we have won.
It is with great sadness that
@PlymouthLabour
announces that Eddie Rennie, who retired as a councillor at the recent local election, has died.
'The group is in complete shock at this dreadful news,' said Cllr Tudor Evans OBE.
