Out in Sunny Blackpool canvassing for Chris Webb with Peter Horton and Valerie Wise 🎄🎄🎄

Our motion to the extraordinary council meeting next week
#CeasefireForGazaNOW

Really warm response for Chris Webb in Blackpool South today!

Great to be part of the Preston Labour team who travelled over today and to campaign with Chester’s Samantha Dixon MBE MP 🌹

Tonight, in my elected role, I attended a meeting of 200+ residents regarding their dissatisfaction with Labour’s stance on Gaza. It opened my eyes even more to the shared pain they’re all feeling. I promise to take their requests forward as much as I possibly can.

Please see our statement which has been signed by all Labour Councillors in Preston 🕊️

Full Council: 432 affordable houses built in Preston last year, 300 more than any other Lancs district, due to our policies.

Yesterday, we warned about Grant Shapps dangerous rhetoric. Here he is today, touring the TV studios, happily pitting worker against worker.
Make no mistake, he doesn't care about Nurses or care-workers.
