Can’t get my head round it … after all the Tories have done to damage the country, with literally nothing for which they are responsible better than it was, a quarter of people still think they should be given another go!! Weird.

Patriotism is more than just respecting a shared symbol, it is about service to your country, its people and its values. As Labour leader, I will always put country before party. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…

What an awful world we’ve managed to make it. To live in peace seems utterly beyond us. So dreadfully sad.
I suspect much like Beer and Curry gate nothing will come of the Angela Rayner allegations and it will be another waste of limited police resources. And in a year she’ll be Deputy PM and the MP that reported her will be the former MP for Bury North.
Bring back Sure Start, I never did understand the argument for closing them. Surely it costs a lot more in the long run.

Tax dodgers rob the public of vital funds that should be used to support our schools and hospitals. This is a crucial intervention from the next chancellor @RachelReevesMP
With everything you read and hear about Ben Houchen’s associations, lack of transparency and the happenings at Tees Port this seems a bold and sensible move. It’s a real shame to see a woman drop out of an election though. There aren’t enough of them.

I think that’s pretty clear - and to be fair @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner have said it time and again. A New Deal for workers, delivered in full, for the benefit of workers and decent employers alike.

We're all in a waiting room. Sat in political purgatory. Watching more & more MPs vacate their positions. Enduring desperate, hollow statements of intent. Knowing that no real governing is happening. I feel so sorry for our country. Election is beyond needed.
It’s understood Frank Hester has donated another £5million to the Tories since January - a figure the Tories did not deny - on top of the £10million he had already handed the party The £15million total equates to 40% of the new £35million spending limit for a general election -…
Speaks volumes
Blessed are the peacemakers “50 victims of terror attacks sign a joint-letter calling for politicians to stop stoking ant-Muslim tensions….the group warn it is the height of irresponsibility for some politicians to equate being Muslim with being an extremist “…

"Give every child in this country the chances they deserve."
2.8 million children live in households struggling with costs of school, including uniforms & food @Parentkind. The next @UKLabour Govt will limit branded items to three - so uniforms make children smarter not families poorer - & provide free breakfast clubs in every primary.

It is going to be tight in the NE Mayoral election on Thursday. This is the most important local election we have had since the 2004 Regional Assembly vote which was such a lost opportunity. Vote for policies that will strengthen the region rather than just a protest vote.
We also find a statistical tie in the race to be the new Mayor of the North East. Labour’s Kim McGuinness leads Independent Jamie Driscoll by 2. The poll indicates higher propensity to vote by Driscoll supporters is what is keeping this race close and a squeeze of Tory voters.
A real opportunity to elect a passionate, hard working, respected voice for the North East on May 2nd. @KiMcGuinness gets my vote.
Because of the rules on broadcasting during elections I was stopped from rebutting Sunak BS paeon of praise to Johnson pal “Lord” Houchen of TeesworksMatesGotRich … best rebuttal is to vote @chrismcewan11 and while I am talking matters NE @KiMcGuinness will make a terrific NE…
If you live in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear or Co Durham please vote Labour’s Kim McGuinness on Thursday. If you live in Tees Valley, please vote Chris McEwan. Two highly capable, experienced politicians putting region first.

On International Workers’ Memorial Day we remember those that lost their lives at work and those who suffer from work-related injury and disease. We remember the dead, we fight for the living and we to recommit to working with trade unions for a better future for workers.
Today is International Workers' Memorial Day when we remember those who have died at work, or as a result of ill health at work. We remember the dead, fight for the living, and fight for safer workplaces for all. #IWMD24
Voted. I’m with Steve Gibson. It’s time for local politicians we can trust who won’t sell off our children’s future. Every vote counts as both #TeesValleyMayor front runners are neck and neck. So send yours by Tuesday 30th April to #BinBen 😊👊🏻 🗳️ #UTB #TeessideResistance
@PollyTixNE @UKLabour My guess Kim winning by at least 5% . These pols are pretty meaningless
@REWearmouth Agree. Driscoll (like most Corbynites) strongly believes his own hype and overestimates his popular appeal and recognition. Most people in NE especially in the areas further south in region likely haven't a clue who he is. I'd be surprised if he won. The Lab ticket should win out
@JamesEFoster @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour More astroturfing or single minded naivety & narcissism in asking ppl to vote against Labour, to give the Tories media PR vs Starmer to try split the centre? The same pro-Tory agitprop, like this, gets shared by @bel_nagy a Hungarian name, allied with Putin Tory interests?
Welcome, Dr Dan Poulter, Labour’s new MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.
Sunak's Tories have once again sunk as low as they can go with outright attempts to deceive the #Tynemouth electorate. Only way to respond is to rise above it, got three great local candidates standing for @UKLabour ,we like & respect our neighbours enough to tell them the truth.
I am proud to be backing the incredible @KiMcGuinness for North East Mayor. Kim has a plan to make the North East the home of real opportunity, and will be a powerful voice for the region. Vote Labour on 2 May 🌹
🌹❤️So proud of our town today. Got to show the big bosses @Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP some fantastic businesses and so many sound people were stopping them in the street to shake their hands and wish us luck. 🍀 It's time for a change!
I'm thinking that Jamie Driscoll must have misread the job description. You have to do more than listen Jamie. You need to sometimes agree, formulate a plan and actually do something about it as well. Anyone can just listen! Therapist is a different job description entirely. 🤣
I’m at the Monument today in Newcastle until 13.30 chatting with people about how we make the North East a better place. A vote for me as North East Mayor means you’ll get a Mayor who listens.
I think it’s fair to say, and hear me out, Durham Union is not a representative sample of any meaningful electorate - not even of the wider university, certainly not of Durham, and in a completely different universe to the wider North East.
The @durham_uni hustings results are in. @durhamunion
I have never been a politician before, but I am not prepared to sit on the sidelines anymore, whilst the region I love, my home, is left behind. It is time for a fresh start.
