I’m delighted to be the Labour candidate for Woodingdean in the Brighton & Hove City Council elections in May🌹
We missed out on winning here by just 72 votes in 2019
With the Greens and Tories inept management of our city & our country - it’s time for a fresh start with Labour

The Conservatives now have NO power in Sussex local government 💪
From Chichester to Rye, the Tories have been rejected in our county.
Sussex will soon play its part in delivering a Labour government 🌹
Labour GAIN Adur from the Conservatives 🌹

The fact so few Lib Dem MPs turned up to vote on @BarryGardiner’s anti fire and rehire bill shows that these parties don’t stand up for workers or trade union rights.
Only Labour does.

Reflections from the Sussex PCC count
The Conservative majority has evaporated.
Labour won Brighton & Hove, Adur, Worthing, Hastings and Crawley - with respectable showings in true blue rural areas like Lewes.
Bring on the General Election and watch the Sussex coast go 🌹

Celebrating and rewarding foster carers is exactly why I got into local politics. I know how tough a job it is having been a foster family since 2010.
Unlike the Conservatives in Brighton, @bhlabour proudly voted for a pay uplift.
Councillors agree to increase foster carers’ funding as they praise foster families brightonandhovenews.org/2023… #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Had a good time marshalling the troops in Mortlake and meeting Labour voters old and new!
Areas like this in the ward are falling into serious disrepair under the Lib Dem’s. It’s disgraceful the cost these tenants are paying too.
