I'm proud that this Labour government has agreed above-inflation pay rises for our doctors, nurses, teachers, armed forces personnel and other public sector workers across our country. The Tories have undervalued our people for far too long. My question to the Chancellor ⬇️

It's a huge privilege to have been selected as Labour’s candidate in North West Cambridgeshire. I came into politics to fight the continuing decline in public services that the Tories are presiding over, and only a Labour government will do that. Let’s get Britain’s future back!

I'm sometimes asked for my views on why we can't get more young people to stand for office, with only 2% of councillors under 30. See below a selection of the age-related tripe I have received in just the first two days of being a parliamentary candidate. That should explain it.

This comes in the context of difficult decisions, forced on us by deep dishonesty from the Conservatives about the state of our public finances. Their booing as I commended Rachel for her honesty about the situation demonstrates some serious immaturity on the opposition benches.

Seriously worrying situation. I called this out during the elections 6 months ago, as the candidate was known to have a seriously antisemitic Twitter history. There was NO opportunity to question candidates, which could have exposed this to the (mostly unaware) voting delegates.
