We thank everyone for doing what they can to support the people of Ukraine during this awful and heartbreaking time for them. We’ve set up a webpage which details some of the local and national ways you can provide support if you want to. 👉🏼 orlo.uk/aGSzh 💙 💛
Far right extremist Tommy Robinson says he’s bankrupt and can’t pay the money he owes Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee he libelled. If we all help @hopenothate raise £50k they can investigate and make him pay up. I’ve chipped in - can you join in too? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/pa…

Tbf our MP may have just been preparing to stand to speak, or just finishing speaking. Nonetheless, he & his mates don’t exactly cut an inspiring picture of responsible and wise political leadership here…. Or maybe they have alien invader immunity to human airborne viruses?!
Although I disagreed with the direction of Labour’s managerial travel at the time, there was a certain objective strategic logic to Blairism. I see no such logic now. An excellent synopsis of why…👇 – at Trowbridge, England

I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know: Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again. But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power!

If you are sat in a Labour Party meeting today doing the run down of what’s gone wrong and your conclusion is ‘we haven’t changed quickly enough’ ‘be more like 1997’ then get ready for even worse next General Election. It is not the 90’s. Needs have changed! Tories have changed

Labour has the solution to this spending scandal in Trowbridge. There is a way to make our public money go further & properly support our pandemic economic recovery. Wiltshire deserves better, new, common sense financial management. Vote Labour on 6th May! fb.watch/57tDn5Fc1B/
