Brilliant to have @Alison_McGovern with us for a discussion on jobs with members and Councillor Mark Smith. a great response on the doors, people need a Labour government to make sure we all get the support and access into good, well paid jobs. #labourdoorstep @UKLabour
I passionately believe everyone deserves an opportunity to get into work.
With warnings unemployment will rise sharply we can’t allow people to be written off.
I want to reform support to help more people into work.

EXC: @RishiSunak told Tories in Tunbridge Wells that as Chancellor he tried to reverse Treasury formulas "that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas" so areas like theirs could benefit

“Hillsborough and other hooligan related events” Martin Tyler @BBCr4today - please correct that.
Sky-high inflation, rocketing energy bills & Bank of England warnings of recession on the horizon.
Whichever continuity candidate wins, their low-growth, low-wage plans won’t fix the damage caused by 12 years of Tory rule.
Only Labour can provide the fresh start Britain needs.

"We see this as only the beginning."
An open letter from our #Lionesses...
We underestimated how much Birmingham being in the spotlight would mean to us. Every Brummie I speak to about Commonwealth Games is bursting with pride about our place. Everyone I know sending messages around of them watching sport & dancing in the street. #Birmingham2022
Crying again.
My primary school self who petitioned the headteacher for girls football, to be told it was a 'man's game' is overcome.
"We see this as only the beginning."
An open letter from our #Lionesses...
We all celebrated the Lionesses' stunning victory, now we must secure their legacy.
The Tories are failing to seize this moment to ensure girls can play football at school.
I've written to the Education Sec demanding an 'Equal Access Guarantee' for school sport 👇🏼
✍️ I've joined leaders from across the North West in writing to @grantshapps in support of Crewe's bid to become the home of Great British Railways.
Make sure you have your say 👇

@MartinBell1966 @Alison_McGovern 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Don't forget to vote mind
https://consultations.gbrtt.co.uk/great-british-railways/gbr-hq-vote/consultation/intro/
A vote for Crewe is a vote for common sense 😁😁😁
BT’s CEO has refused to meet @CWUnews despite his staff taking industrial action. This is unacceptable. @LucyMPowell and I have written to him demanding he opens negotiations. A fair pay deal could resolve this dispute. We stand with the workers.👇🏻
All the best trains stop at Crewe.
North West Labour Party representatives have written to the Secretary of State for Transport to place on record their collective support for Crewe’s bid to become the new home of the Great British Railway HQ. Crewe station is the gateway to the North of England. #DestinationGBR
🧵People are worried sick about energy prices rising again in the autumn, but yet again we see eye-watering profits for oil and gas producers. (1/3) https://twitter.com/emilygosden/status/1554349645341630464
BP's profits surged to $8.5 billion in the second quarter - three times higher than a year earlier (and close to record highs seen in 2008) thanks to high oil and fuel prices
It's using the cash to buy back $3.5 billion of shares this quarter and has increased its dividend too
Glad I was not the only one in floods
I wept with relief for every woman who has ever faced a snidey remark for daring to kick a ball into the back of the net but I sobbed with happiness for the England team that brought it home #EScomment

That @LucyBronze is so cool 😎 😍
Amidst so many more iconic images from last night, a little one standing out for me is, seconds after the whistle, as Wembley goes wild, Leah Williamson consoling a distraught Lena Oberdorf. That's your captain right there. Bronze also went to the youngster quickly. Such respect
This. The great thing about women playing football is that it is happening everywhere. Get involved. We'd love to have you.
Football came home - let's keep it that way 💪
Very well put, @GabbyLogan 👏
#Lionesses #BBCEuros #WEuro2022
Here’s @AlexScott reminding us all that 4 yrs ago when women’s football needed larger stadia, many clubs said NO
They know who they are!!
OH MY GOD.
Dreams come true. @Lionesses
Never ever ever give up.

A great tournament all round, inspirational management from Sarina Wiegman and some real guts shown by these players. Amazing days https://twitter.com/England/status/1553819973050671106
Drink it in. We are European champions.
History, icons
“These women are here despite the system, not because of the system.” — Jonas Eidevall.
Loving all the straight talking punditry from Alex Scott, Ian Wright and Eidevall tonight.
🔥🙌
#WEURO2022
Alex Scott and Ian Wright are such brilliant pundits – they understand football, its history and its politics. And they're bloody great people.
🦁 SQUADDD. 👊

We all do. Build her a statue.
In 2004 Baroness Sue Campbell gave me my first job in sport. I owe her so much. And now, with this incredible unstoppable momentum behind women's football, we all do... #WEuros2022 @Lionesses #ComeonEngland
Honestly win or lose today, the @Lionesses have changed everything.
So much more to do: we fight on for equality. But this is everything for women's football, getting to this point. Everything.
Oh god it’s getting so bad. At breakfast club more people with accommodation than homeless but can’t eat & pay energy bills. Very thin elderly man this morning hadn’t eaten for FOUR days. In UK in 2022. We gave him cereal, 2 breakfasts & food to takeaway. He can’t make ends meet.
#labourdoorstep in Port Sunlight today @UKLabour great fun & my hair does what it wants
Wirral Greens voted against the Real Living Wage at Budget Council. Please stop misleading residents. https://twitter.com/GreenWirral/status/1553108818707599360
Wirral Greens are delighted that our much-loved care workers will get a pay rise to at least £11 per hour. Greens have repeatedly promoted the Real Living Wage in council meetings to excellent effect! https://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/20585865.wage-boost-wirral-care-workers/
Sunak’s attention-seeking gimmick that will do nothing to solve the worst crisis in NHS history.
This is a dangerous thin end of the wedge that will penalise the most vulnerable and would cost more in admin than it would raise.
NHS leaders agree 👇🏻

Writing for the @SundayMirror, @KeirStarmer says he supports the right to strike - and that his support has gone beyond "sentiment and a photo opp"
He says Labour must go from party of protest to a party in power - then hand that power to workers

Lovely to bump into @Alison_McGovern & lots of @LGBTLabourNW friends at @LCRPride @LiverpoolPride @UKLabour
Fantastic #LiverpoolPride
@angelaeagle @emilyspurrell @UKLabour
Train drivers and staff kept this country going during the pandemic.
They deserve a fair pay rise and respect.
Grant Shapps should stop boycotting the talks, do his job and get around the table to agree a deal.
