I’ve Served on Op tours in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan and an @UKLabour Party member and I disagree with this ill-informed comment. Conservatives claim to be patriotic but how patriotic is it to have growing numbers reliant on food banks or homeless? Give your head a wobble!

Applications for @UKLabour 's candidate for #Basingstoke have opened. As a local lad who has grown up and raised my family in the town, I've submitted my application. Basingstoke deserves a Labour MP and together we can win. Find out more 👇🏼

Meeting with the Leader of #Basingstoke council today on this very subject. It’s despicable that it’s got to this and the previous #Tory administration have a lot to answer for it. #KeepIceInBasingstoke

@AbdiDuale_ Also, at what point did he say he doesn’t care about Muslims? Sick of people making stuff up and spouting it as if it’s gospel.

Honestly, @BstokeLabour selections have these guys rattled. I’ve met the candidates selected and certainly not champagne socialists. More integrity and better values than the majority of Conservative Cllrs in #Basingstoke and certainly the ones running their social media.

@CMParrish1 Cal, there is no post to shadow. There is no DfID, unless she has been told to draw up plans for it to come back. This is a demotion in many peoples eyes.

Glad to hear, from my sick bed, that @BasingstokeGov councillors have passed a motion in council, to establish how we can restart building council houses for the thousands of residents in need in our town.

A multitude of emotions reading this by @adharanand . Sadness that I am not able to run yet due to injury but elation and amazement at the stories contained within. Best read of the year so far. 👌🏻

@Dianes_Bucket @MessedUpMusic @HippoGriffinus @BroodingHamlet @MarcherLord1 @PrisonPlanet Similar path, only I didn't stop thinking of those that are less well off than me. I chose not to have the "I'm alright jack" attitude and continue to believe in equality for all not just for those that can afford it

Back down with @cwunew members in #Basingstoke striking for better pay and terms & conditions. It’s time Royal Mail management put an end to this and do the right thing for workers across the country.

In some non-political personal news, last week I was successfully promoted to Principal Agile Delivery Lead at #Dunelm on a temporary cover basis. The next 9-12 months are going to be a journey for me that’s for sure but looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Maria, that’s not quite true is it. Let’s be clear (as Lisa Nandy was). We’re in the middle of a housing crisis. Nearly 5k people on the housing waiting list here in #Basingstoke . We need RESPONSIBLE building and more importantly INFRASTRUCTURE to support the growth.

It’s good Ministers are thinking again but saddened @UKLabour don’t back a law change to let #Basingstoke slow down house building to what we need in our community rather than building for needs of the region. Back my campaign here:

Pleased to say that at this evenings full council I was nominated and approved to become the new chair of @BasingstokeGov ’s Community, Environment and Partnerships committee. Lots of things to start marking in roads into and I’m looking forward to the challenge.
