Always a pleasure to catch up with my Leeds West predecessor, Sir John Battle, at Bramley Baths! Here's a sneak peak of our upcoming video on how we fought to save the Baths from closure.
Huge thanks to Tom Riordan for 14 years of service as Chief Executive of LCC. His dedication to our city has had a transformational impact for residents across Leeds.
Wishing him all the best for the future.
£4,800 more on your mortgage. That is the cost of the Conservatives' manifesto because the money is not there. Under the Conservatives, families across Leeds West and Pudsey are worse off. Vote for change on 4th July, vote Labour.
Over the past 30 years, we've provided locally based support for people of all ages across Leeds. It’s brilliant to look back on the stories of growth, resilience & sustainable change in the lives we've impacted & see how Barca-Leeds has made a difference.
Commiserations to all
@LUFC
fans. It's been a great season for the team but a shame to miss out on being promoted. My fingers are crossed for the next season!
Dear members & supporters,
Instead of the usual members meeting scheduled for this Thursday December 19th, we will be running a collection point for donations of goods for local charities.
This will be at Milford Sports Club, Beecroft Street, LS5 3AS between 7.30pm to 8.30pm.
With our Mass Transit consultation going live on Monday it’s great to get our new Chancellors thoughts on our plan to grow our economy. ⬇️

It was great to visit
@sunnybankmills
recently, this time as the local MP! Thank you to William and Anna for their warm welcome and for their tour in which I met some of the Mills' brilliant tenants!
I met with CEO Richard Walker, staff and customers at
@IcelandFoods
in Kirkstall on Friday - it is clear the cost of living crisis has not gone away.
As Chancellor, I will tackle the cost of living crisis, get Britain’s economy growing again and make families better off.
It was great to pop into Pudsey Community Hub and Library yesterday along with
@JamesLewisLab
to meet with some of the team. It was also fantastic to see the incredible knitted map of Pudsey on display there beautifully crafted by local knitters!
£40bn lost to waste, fraud and sleaze under Rishi Sunak’s watch.
The choice at this election couldn’t be clearer. More Tory chaos or Labour that will treat public money with respect.
Vote for change. Vote Labour.
An Israeli offensive must not go ahead in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinian civilians are sheltered.
There must be an immediate ceasefire, all hostages must be released immediately and unimpeded aid must be delivered into Gaza safely.

Extremely proud to have been involved in Ribbons, a new sculpture by local artist Pippa Hale that celebrates women who have contributed to our city.

Businesses up and down the country are putting their trust in Labour.
Together, we can get Britain's economy growing again and make working people better off across our country including here in Leeds West and Pudsey.
Calverley must not become a banking desert. The closure of the nearest bank in Greengates will make access harder for Calverley residents.
