Happy Yorkshire Day to our favourite yorkshireman Andrew Dismore
In the last month of door knocking our conservative residents have expressed reservations about voting Tory citing fears over a candidates true intentions.
Seems those fears have been justified.

Worthwhile day on the doorsteps in my home patch of Barnet yesterday. Barnet is London's bellweather borough on the country and Whetstone is Barnet's Pennsylvania. Very important win with one eye on the London elections next year. Whetstone used to be the heart of a super safe Tory ward. No longer!
4️⃣ days to go!
On Wednesday, members of the Co-operative Group will start to vote ahead of their AGM.
By voting YES on Motion 8, we can give co-operation the political voice it deserves.
Fantastic to see the government stepping in to save British Steel. In an increasingly uncertain world it’s vital that we protect our strategic industries, especially one which our construction, transport and defence sectors rely upon.
⏰ Local elections are coming ⏰
🔍 And we have a handy explainer from @sophiestowers.bsky.social to give you everything you need to know about local government👇
I dusted off my interview hat with the PM's growth champion, Dan Tomlinson
Born in Cameron's Witney, then evicted from a London flat, he ousted chief nimby Theresa Villiers to become Chipping Barnet's first non-Tory MP
He says Labour must "disrupt" and clear the "barnacles" to get Britain building
The Health and Social Care Act of 2012 introduced by the last Conservative government was a "calamity without international precedent" which proved "disastrous".

Thank you @annebclarke.bsky.social for inviting us to the induction of Fr Robin as vicar of all Saints Church. He has made remarkable efforts to place the church at the heart of our community, it was a honour to be present at the ceremony.
Britain's shopworkers kept us safe through the pandemic, but too often nowadays they're met with threats, abuse, and violence.
Working with Usdaw and Labour, we're determined to end retail crime - because everyone has the right to feel safe at work.

Great to be with @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @london.gov.uk Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, Barry, deputy mayors and Sarah Sackman MP celebrating 1 year of the ULEZ expansion at Rocking Horse Nursery today.
A graphic with a blue sky background and white clouds. The text reads: "Harmful NO2 levels are estimated to be lower in 2024 compared to a scenario without ULEZ". The reductions are listed as follows: Central London – 54% lower, Inner London – 29% lower, Outer London – 24% lower. A source link at the bottom reads: london.gov.uk/ulez.
ULEZ works. It’s that simple.
Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.
The clearest evidence that Labour has your interests at heart is their commitment to drive down NHS waiting lists.
Two-thirds of voters who backed Labour last year now say Starmer is the best person to serve as Prime Minister, up from 58% last week
UK prime minister Keir Starmer – flanked by France’s Macron and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy at summit with EU leaders in London
Starmer literally having Zelenskyy’s back today while trying to build bridges.
Somehow a huge relief to watch Starmer doing this so incredibly well.
Even some Reform insiders acknowledge that Russia is a weak point for the party when it comes to alignment with the public, with one describing it as a “chink in the armour”.
Our proposals to transform Oxford Street are not just about creating a beautiful public space, but making it a world-class destination for shopping, dining and culture.
It’s about building a London we can all be proud of.
Today, we're launching our vision to put communities at the heart of politics.
Community Britain is about making the extraordinary stories in every community, ordinary.

Starmer: “Britain will provide Ukraine with $5.6 billion in military aid. We are ready to participate with forces in Ukraine with European allies. Trump created an opportunity.”
