Alongside the new leader, Cllr Ethan Radford is the new deputy leader of @NG_Labour and will also take up his formal role as deputy leader of 🏹 My Nottingham after the 20th.

We thank Cllr Audra Wynter for all her hard work as deputy over the last year🌹

I am honoured to be the new leader of @NG_Labour. After 14 years of Tory austerity, we have an uphill task but I will not let that lessen our ambitions for Nottingham.

Together, Nottingham Labour will champion and work with our communities to deliver for Nottingham people🌹

Following our first AGM last night, we can announce that Neghat Khan is the new leader of @NG_Labour and will take on the role of leader of 🏹 My Nottingham after the council's AGM on 20th May.

We thank David Mellen for his 5 years of leadership and congratulations Neghat🌹

This has been a massive people-powered campaign across the East Midlands for Claire Ward, @Gary_Godden & Nicolle Ndiweni.

Make sure you use your votes tomorrow for politicians with the vision to deliver for our region, our communities, our police forces. Vote Labour🗳️🌹

Out in the Park on the day before poll, getting some leafleting done with Cllr Ethan Radford

Remember to vote tomorrow for Gary Godden for your new Police and Crime Commissioner and Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor for the first ever East Midlands Mayor 🌹

Really enjoyed our chat with Chris Lawton from Skate Nottingham a couple of weeks ago to talk about all the great work they're doing and Nottingham's criminally underhyped status as a skating powerhouse!

Getting my vote in nice and early for Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor and Gary Godden for Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner

Don't forget to get your postal votes in, or vote Labour in person on the 2nd of May 🌹

Date night watching National Theatre Live's Nye at Savoy Cinema in Nottingham with my favourite NHS worker, Sanya Kurmani. Inspiring to think how much people's lives can be changed for the better by a government that wants to.

🧑‍🎓We're incredibly blessed with the world class universities we have in both Derby and Nottingham.
🗳️If I'm elected as East Midlands Mayor, I want to be able to use the talents and skills of our universities and businesses to bring new jobs and investment to the area.

Just finished my first time helping out one of our members as a GMB Midlands accompanying rep #MakeWorkBetter

The overwhelming majority of managers back key Labour Party New Deal policies, new CMI polling shows labourlist.org/2024/04/labour…

It was wonderful to welcome Rachel Reeves & Ellie Reeves to #SouthDerbyshire today on the campaign trail for Claire Ward & Nicolle Ndiweni

It was a wonderful reception on the doors. People are ready for change & we’re ready to deliver it!

Getting the steps in up and down the blocks of flats in Castle ward ahead of 2nd May regional elections.

Plenty of people sick & tired of the Tories & will be voting Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor & Gary Godden. Want a general election too🗳️🌹

Great to be out in Bakersfield over the weekend with local councillors and Labour members, picking up casework and delivering leaflets for Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor and Gary Godden! 🌹

Good to be speaking to voters in Aspley this afternoon. Lots of positive responses to Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor & @Gary_Godden

Proud to go be stood outside Strelley Road Library too. Another of 🏹 My Nottingham’s new libraries including the Central & Sherwood which should be opening soon!📚

Brilliant to meet up with Chris from Skate Nottingham alongside local Tram Line Spot councillors Sam Lux and Cllr Matt Shannon to talk about the potential for working together on skills, regeneration, cohesion, mentoring and more to engage and support young people in our city.

Thanks to everyone who helped organise this and all the important campaigning Teach the Future does. It's great to see local young people passionate about the challenges ahead in tackling climate change.

Well-funded local councils enable communities to thrive.

Under the Tories, they’ve been cut to the bone, while need for services is soaring.

For LeftLion Magazine Nottingham, I wrote about the devastating cuts imposed on Nottingham and why we must demand better.

Dog whistle politics from Ben Bradley & East Midlands Conservatives.

The choice is clear: someone who is willing to chuck communities under the bus (a bus he’d probably have sold off to private firms) or Claire Ward for East Midlands Mayor who has a plan to help & support everyone in our region.
