Dewsbury and Batley are wonderful towns, with a history and heritage to be proud of. But people are struggling. I will be a strong voice for Dewsbury and Batley, and I will bring the change our communities deserve. Vote Heather Iqbal on 4 July, #voteLabour

A Labour government will stand with working people in Dewsbury & Batley. But you only get change if you vote for it. So as @AngelaRayner says - on Thursday 4 July #voteLabour to build a better future for our communities.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted for me in Dewsbury & Batley yesterday. We didn’t get the result we wanted, but it was an honour to stand and I’m grateful for every chance I had to speak to voters. With a Labour government back in Westminster, Britain has its future back.
