How embarrassing for Peterborough Tories. National Tories use picture of Peterborough highlight how bad the council is. It is not Labour. Tories ran it for 24 years until just a couple of months ago.

I hate this idea that we can't disagree anymore without hating each other. That we have to pick sides. Listening as a sign of weakness rather than triumph. Tribalism has become even more toxic in a populist age. Our values speak to something larger. But we are letting them down

This stinks. And we wonder why people are fed up with this government.

Every day in this election, I've been reminded of the ambition & drive in our city. Ambition that needs a government to match it and stability to let it flourish. Thank you to everyone who has spoken to me these last few weeks. Peterborough is our city. Let's get its future back

Good to see @BBCLookEast focus on family finances & #costoflivingcrisis in #Peterborough today with @RachelReevesMP From Downing Street to the Town Hall we have a crisis that is letting people down. In the Tory-run council’s own words we are in ‘a new era of permanent austerity’
