I feel soiled 😷
An important message for all #Chesterfield women
Great to speak at the @TargetOvarian reception today
When more people are aware of Ovarian Cancer symptoms, more lives are saved.
Make sure you're aware of:
💜 Persistent bloated tummy
💜 Always feeling full
💜 Tummy pain
💜 Needing to wee more
Great to hear from @tobyperkinsmp at #aelpnc22 earlier today including Labour's commitment to improving careers information, advice and guidance with parity of esteem between academic and work-based learning routes. https://twitter.com/tobyperkinsmp/status/1541800557744197636
Careers advice opens doors for young people, especially raising the profile of apprenticeships.
Under Labour every child will receive professional careers advice and work experience at school, ensuring they leave education ready for work and for life.

When the released list was announced, I saw many angry #Spireites fans decrying the decisions.
I sense a huge amount more positivity now that new signings have come in.
Am I right?
How are @ChesterfieldFC fans feeling now about prospects for 22/23?

Guess what? When govt promised that new Police bill wouldn’t prevent right to protest, they lied.
Always predictable that Police overreach would lead to nonsense like this.
Patel should urgently state that one person on a megaphone is not a criminal offence.
Steve Bray’s protests over years against Brexit and Boris Johnson have been noisy and periodically headache inducing. But the government’s guidance says the police will only stop a protest under the new Police Act when noise would have a “significant impact on people or https://twitter.com/snb19692/status/1541710580402294784
So important to stress that those who support the next generation of skilled workers are key to the nation addressing the low growth, low productivity malaise that has dogged UK under Tory government.
"You are genuinely involved in work of national significance," Perkins tells those assembled #aelpNC22
Perkins says not enough alternative options are placed in front of school pupils in a drive for schools to send students to their own sixth forms. #aelpNC22
"I don't anticipate we would get rid of them at all," Perkins says on whether T-Levels would be scrapped under a Labour government. But it needs to continue to change to address issues already acknowledged, he adds. #aelpNC22
Making sure that apprenticeships are not seen as the preserve of big companies only, is one priority for Perkins. Another is making sure they aren't seen as a second choice to sixth form. It should be "a path of tremendous prestige," he says. #aelpNC22
Great pleasure to address the #AELP22NC laying out @UKLabour approach to skills and recognising that skills reforms that have shut out too many SMEs and seen entry level opportunities plummet are not working.
@tobyperkinsmp says the Skills and Post-16 Education Act was a “missed opportunity” by the current government to ensure true collaboration on LSIPs - he’s says there needs to be better co-operation between ITPs, Colleges, Metro Mayors & Local Authorities #Devolution #AELPNC22 1/3
Every single child should be presented with careers options alongside attending the school’s sixth form.

Would love to visit @TotalPeople but actually referred to visits to @CSkillsPeople as well as @RemitTraining .
Great to hear @tobyperkinsmp recognise the role of ITPs in the skills system - he says he’s a “huge advocate” of ITPs and calls them “unique” - highlights his recent visit to @AELPUK members @RemitTraining and @TotalPeople #AELPNC22 3/3
I was told by a teacher that 'there are no jobs in politics' 😂
That's why the @UKLabour commitment on careers guidance set out by @tobyperkinsmp today at #aelpNC22 is important. Young people need to have good advice https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/labour-labour-party-government-b1008729.html
Effective information, advice and guidance on careers essential to young people making well-informed decisions on their future pathways. Good to see @tobyperkinsmp making the case for this. https://twitter.com/dancrawford85/status/1541540589069631489

Very proud to take my seat in Parliament earlier today.
Thank you to the people of
Wakefield for the trust you have placed in me to
be your MP.
I will be your voice in
Westminster and challenge this Government
to get a better deal for Wakefield.
Great week of pavement politics in #Hollingwood & #Inkersall. Residents have a clear appetite for change & desire for less combative, more inclusive, community-focused activity that gets things done for #Staveley. I can't wait to work with Debbie Wheeldon at #CBC to achieve that.
It is natural to assume that Boris Johnson is simply lying but is it possible that he actually hasn’t been told or hasn’t understood that its Railway workers not train drivers that are on strike.
Boris Johnson - "Train drivers are on £59,000 & some are on £70,000, fine if they want to go on strike... "
But
The train drivers aren't on strike.
Labour offers a proper plan for change, to get Britain’s economy growing again so businesses and families can reap the rewards.
Our victory in Wakefield shows there's renewed optimism and hope.
Labour is back on the path to government👇🏼

Johnson has lost elections, lied in Parliament, governs over multiple backlog failures and now wants a 3rd go! Toby is as right today as in January, BJ doesn’t care about debasing his office, his party or this country. We need better. https://twitter.com/tobyperkinsmp/status/1481260168038043665
We've all had Prime Minister's we didn't rate or agree with, but none have debased the Office like this one.
WATCH - My question to Boris Johnson at #PMQs today and his answer.
The Tories now face a credible Labour party: a government-in-waiting with a plan to deliver on the country’s demands.
We will not shy away from that responsibility, duck those challenges or fail to grasp the opportunities our country has.

Great to join colleagues on #labourdoorstep across Inkersall this morning in support of Debbie Wheeldon’s campaign as we head towards the July 7th Hollingwood and Inkersall by-election.
Voters all keen to move on from in-fighting that has afflicted Staveley politics recently.
I vow to play for England in the World Cup...and win! https://twitter.com/TmorrowsPapers/status/1540448707191111680
Saturday's Express: Boris Vows To Fight Next General Election …And Win! #TomorrowsPapersToday #DailyExpress #Express
Was interviewed a number of times by Harry Gration and he was every bit as lovely off screen as you would imagine he was on it.
Really sad news #RIPHarry
Was also good to meet Ukrainian families and their Chesterfield host families, many of whom my office and I assisted to get here at a lovely Chesterfield Labour club coffee morning today.
Was inspiring to attend William Rhodes Junior’s celebration assembly with parents in Boythorpe.
Also good to discuss issues and the future with Head Rachel Purvis.
Wakefield’s win will go down in history, @SimonLightwood.
I’m so proud of our Labour Party and the changes we’ve made to be a government in waiting.
Dowden isn't being "honourable". He's backed Johnson's lying, law breaking and corruption. He's repeatedly not only defended the indefensible but been a cheerleader for it. Dowden's not resigning on principle, he's just worried about the next election.
#LABOURGAIN Wakefield with 12.7% swing. Massive!! Really great result @simonlightwood ! 💪🏼❤️👍👍
Well done to Libs in Tiverton too- incredible .
And to the voters of Wakefield and Tiverton who were perfectly capable of working out how to make sure the Tories lost!
That is a massive result from Tiverton & Honiton. But arguably a more significant result from Wakefield.
4am update: historic night
- Lib Dems wipe out the biggest ever majority in a by-election - turning 24k Tory majority into 6k win for the Lib dems
- Wakefield gained Labour with a very solid swing of 12% and majority of almost 5k
#LABOURGAIN Wakefield with 12.7% swing. Massive!! Really great result @simonlightwood ! 💪🏼❤️👍👍
Well done to Libs in Tiverton too- incredible .

Was a great pleasure to visit Wakefield Ossett and Horbury campaigning today for @simonlightwood . Seemed a very good response and I will go to bed hoping to wake to news that we have a #LABOURGAIN and a new colleague in the red wall.
Polls are now closed!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me.
Enjoying a freshener in the Kings Arms in Horsley after another very positive round in Horbury.
Glorious sunny day and @ChesterfieldClp team are in #Wakefield in support of @simonlightwood -warm response from people of Ossett so far!
Really pleased that @GMB_union have been successful in winning decent pay award for workers on the bins in Chesterfield.
Met with both GMB and @VeoliaUK and pleased to hear they have come to a deal that averted strike action.

NEW: Inflation up at 9.1% today.
Inflation is pushing family finances to the brink - but the low wage spiral many face isn’t new.
It’s a result of a decade of Tory mismanagement of our economy.
Labour will build the high wage, high growth, stable inflation economy we deserve.
Today I took the @centrepointuk quiz which I think is thought provoking about the lives and choices that people on the breadline face.
Have a go yourself and #walkintheirshoes https://centrepoint.org.uk/intheirshoes
Its fair to say that the comments that followed this Tory MPs ill-advised tweet provided a useful corrective to his idiocy.

Blaming a party that hasn't been in power for 12 years for the state of the country is pretty bold. https://twitter.com/PaulHowellMP/status/1538583369663102976
⚠️ “Workers against work!” ⚠️
Is this Labour’s new slogan, @AngelaRayner? 🥀
Twelve years of Tory rule and clearer than ever they are out of ideas.
Grammar schools:
❌aren’t popular among parents,
❌don’t improve outcomes across the education system,
❌ingrain expectations of failure.
This isn’t about our children’s future — it’s about the PM’s future. https://twitter.com/hzeffman/status/1538786612502478848
EXCL: Boris Johnson could usher in a new generation of grammar schools later this year.
David Canzini among No 10 staff pushing for more selective schools.
“There’s more of an open door on grammars than there has been in years,” a minister said.

There's only one man that can avoid the strikes happening next week.
But he's on strike. https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1538441822741090309
Britain is facing the biggest rail strike in a generation but @GrantShapps hasn’t spent a single second in talks to avert it since March.
Time is running out. The Tories must get round the table and sort this out.
Well done @MattFitz94 on #USOpen victory.
Brilliant performance and will delight many ⚔️!!

The full @YvetteCooperMP take-down of the #Rwanda policy, is the most thorough, detailed and florid dismantling of gov't policy I've seen in many years.
Worth watching in full and sharing. Patel reduced to gurning. I won't quote from it, because every line is quotable. ~AA
Grant Shapps isn’t a stupid person, but he has to say stupid things to fit in with a government entirely dependent on people believing stupid things.
Neither leader was there, both Secretary of state (&shadow) were.
.@Keir_Starmer notably absent at the rail strike debate yesterday.
He is yet to set out his position❌
See what I said on this in the House👇
Totally agree.
This started in 2015 leadership election and seems an increasing feature of selection contests since then, its ugly and unnecessary and very American.
Hey, how about we stop the public name calling of people putting themselves forward to be labour candidates? You can back your candidate without being nasty about others.
The Tories are now voting AGAINST Labour's Amendment which says "it does not want the national strikes to go ahead" and calls on government to hold talks with rail operators and unions.
Work that one out...
We are on the eve of the biggest rail strike in a generation.
And ministers haven’t spent a single second in talks since March.
Instead of grandstanding, it’s time they get round the table and sort this out.
