Aside from the big mayoral races tomorrow, there are some amazing The Labour Party candidates in our region who are hoping to be elected for the first time. Here’s 5️⃣ feel free to add your own! 🧵

Definition of ‘deportation’ - to force someone to leave a country.

Definition of ‘Conservative deportation’ - to pay someone £3000 of tax payers’ money to leave voluntarily.

Tories treating voters like fools.

🙄🙄🙄

Mr Clarke might want to fact check. He’s in the wrong area, with the wrong facts and the wrong idea… as expected - any false fact concocted to run a false narrative. Its why we are where we are #toxictees #saveoursea #truthonteeside #fishing #fishermen

ANOTHER DIE-OFF?!

This is deeply concerning.

How many more times must this happen before our fishing industry gets answers from the powers that be?!

Sunday Express: #TomorrowsPapersToday

Welcome, Dr Dan Poulter, Labour’s new MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.

Welcome to the Labour Party Dr Dan Poulter. It is clear that the Conservatives are unfit to run our NHS, unfit to govern our country and have been reduced to an extremist rabble.

General Election now.

I am resigning from the Tory party and joining Labour: only it wants to restore our NHS theguardian.com/politics/comme…

Out in Fens and Greatham this morning with Owen Riddle. People ready for change here. Tories and indies elected on the day of the Hartlepool By-election are about to be held to account for their party’s dismal record here 🌹 #VoteLabour

🚨Labour leader Keir Starmer paid a visit to The Northern Echo HQ today and we discussed a number of issues affecting our readers and the region.
He said Labour got it wrong in 2019. But he now has this message to voters who abandoned the party👇
