As we approach 2024, North West Leicestershire will finally get the chance to vote for a brighter future with a Labour Government and a Labour MP.
I’m looking forward to getting back out on the doorsteps, visiting local businesses and community organisations.

Thank you to @Keir_Starmer and @wesstreeting for taking the time today to visit Long Lane Surgery and speak to patients and NHS colleagues about the 8am scramble for a GP appointment.
It’s time for change.
#VoteLabour
Patients like those I met in Leicestershire should not be forced to queue at 8am on the phone to book a GP appointment.
Labour will end the 8am scramble so you can see a GP when you need to.
It’s time for change. It will only happen if you vote for it next Thursday.

Statement from the Labour group Leaders of Leicestershire County and North West Leicestershire on the suspension of Andrew Bridgen. His behaviour in recent months has been shocking and brought his role into disrepute, in any other job he would be sacked.

Finally, the Tories get rid of Bridgen. As I said back in January, this dreadful tweet was the tip of the iceberg. It was after he was found to have lied under oath and suspended from parliament for breaching lobbying rules. About time he resigned.

North West Leicestershire households face significant dumping into our waterways.
Support for this Bill will ensure polluters pay to sort this out.
#SewageScandal
Under the Tory sham of a plan 💩 dumping would continue for decades to come & households will be forced to pay more for non-delivery.
@UKLabour’s Bill will end the Tory #SewageScandal ensuring that it’s polluters who pay the price for failure.
Will Tory MPs vote for more 💩?

Rory will be a great PPC and I’m proud to support him.

There’s a clear choice at this election: more Conservative chaos or serious leadership, real change and safer streets with Labour.

This is such an essential service for the East Midlands airport workforce. It’s so important to save this service for the people who work or need to travel to the airport, but also for the surrounding villages to access vital services.
Skylink is an essential commuting bus route for workers at East Midlands Airport.
That's why GMB union workers at the airport are calling on @NottsCC & @BBradley_Mans to act before its scrapped - cutting off the airport for workers and travellers.

Expectations as a parent of a dairy, egg and sesame allergy girl. Food should be labelled with the correct info so I can safely choose what food my daughter can eat. Be great if manufacturers were stopped from using ‘may contain’ as a catch all.
Today, I’ve actually had to block people arguing with me over what allergic consumers should and shouldn’t be doing - they *should* be making all their food themselves, always, every meal, every day, and they *shouldn’t* be relying on labels, ever. Such asshats out there 🍑 🎩
