🚍 Essex secures £68m for better buses — reliable services, modern ticketing, and support for vital routes. After years of Tory cuts and neglect that left communities stranded, Labour is finally putting things right. #StrongerEssex #CleanTransport

If Essex is serious about stopping animal cruelty, then it must also be serious about ending trail hunting. Trail hunting has long been criticised as a loophole that enables illegal fox hunting under another name.

Excellent news - Labour will fully ban fox hunting. 🦊 In May 2019 we proposed a motion to ban ALL hunting on Essex County Council land in order to enforce the ban. All of the Tory councillors voted against The sooner this practice is consigned to history books the better

Driving home for Christmas? We've got you covered. We’ve frozen fuel duty, helping to bring down prices at the pumps, and we’re delivering historic investment in our roads to end the pothole plague. This is the difference with Labour.

This is the difference with Labour. ✅ A ban on exploitative zero hours contracts ✅ Sick pay from day one ✅ A ban on fire and rehire ✅ Stronger family leave

Over 14 years they made owning or renting your own home unaffordable to so many. But it’s ok everyone the Tories can still afford a £14Million home in Westminster.

Securing a new permanent CCHQ in Westminster is a major step forward. A £14m investment that strengthens our Party, supports the next generation of Conservative candidates, and builds the foundation for victory. Thank you to the Conservative Party Foundation.

It is a national scandal. I’m asking Parliament to give us the powers to regulate children’s care providers properly — and impose a profit cap if needed. Part of Labour's landmark bill, the biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjg…

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal' - Ofsted

The Children's Homes Association says there is no clear national plan and government must 'fix the system'.

Nigel Farage likes to pretend he represents change. But his party is just a refuge for washed up Tories.
