1% ahead in Spelthorne. This confirms what we have been saying all along, it's going to be very close, with the LibDems and Reform battling for 3rd place. Only
@claire_tigher
can beat Rushi Sunak's Conservative candidate here.
Stop the savage plans to leave 7 fire appliances unmanned at night, including at the new fire station at Ashford. These cuts are making Spelthorne less safe.

We are pleased to announce that the Labour candidate for the Stanwell North ward by-election on Wednesday 23rd February is Jon Button. Jon has been a campaigner on local issues for a number of years, including fighting the closure of Stanwell’s fire station.
We're watching

and seeing Conservative candidates whose party got us into this cost of living crisis and who can't even explain how they'd get us out of it.
@KwasiKwarteng
it'd be nice to actually see you in this constituency for once, maybe you could answer for them?

Your high energy costs are because of

Don't let him get away with it - vote Spelthorne Labour. Fix the cost of living crisis.
Almost a year ago, I asked
@KwasiKwarteng
if, in light of the energy crisis, the Govt made a mistake in closing the Rough gas storage facility.
He told me it was 'not relevant', accusing me of 'stoking alarm'.
Now, in a huge u-turn, he will reportedly re-open the site👇
@SpelthorneLibDe
Absolute nonsense. Labour will be fighting hard to win Spelthorne.
Labour has beaten the Lib Dems in the last three GEs here. Only Labour can get Kwasi out

The Conservatives’ 🌳reckless gamble with the British economy has left us all poorer and blown a massive hole in the nation’s finances💥. Now they want Spelthorne to cover the cost. Time for real change. We need a General Election - now 🗳️

See for details.
Labour will invest in our local bus services. We know many in

all we can hear in Spelthorne is Conservative candidates promising to cut taxes when our schools, hospitals, and police force are on the brink. How's that going to address inflation? How's that going to help people who are struggling?

The Government has been forced into backing down from its potentially damaging workers' rights review.
Now is the time to strengthen workers' rights, starting with banning 'fire and rehire' tactics.
