I want this Labour Government to succeed, and sometimes that means having difficult conversations.

When we listen to our communities and our members, we are stronger.

That’s why I’m running for Deputy Leader. Learn more and join my campaign: www.lucyfordeputy.co.uk

Good to be with the newly formed Warwick Labour Club and local members from the area with @mattwestern.bsky.social yesterday.

We need to be attracting new young members to Labour, and that's something I'll prioritise.

Enjoyed @lgalabour.bsky.social hustings last night & delighted to have picked up so much support afterwards.

From Brighton to Bury, Labour must reconnect with its base. Thanks to council leaders Bella Sankey & Eamonn O’Brien for setting out why they’re voting Lucy

'Labour must reconnect with its base - that's why we're backing Lucy Powell' - LabourList

We will be voting for Lucy because she understands how big a test this will be and why we have no time to lose in getting ready for it. We hope you will too.

Great to join @helenhayes.bsky.social and members in Dulwich and West Norwood today to speak to voters and talk about my campaign.

We have crucial elections in London next May and we’ll only win by reuniting our broad voter coalition and the country.

Very welcome news this morning from the Middle East. There’s still a long way to go but we all hope for these first steps immediately - a ceasefire, substantial aid and support getting in, hostages freed, and the death and destruction stopping.

I’m backing the brilliant @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

Independent from Government and collective responsibility she will give all members a powerful voice in this important role and will fearlessly speak truth to power without fear or favour

I’ll be a full time Deputy Leader, outside Cabinet, but alongside government. In every constituency, every council, every community.

Ballots open today. Vote for me to be your strong independent voice at the top of the Party.

I’ve been leading the debate in this campaign. When members voices are heeded and heard we make better decisions.

Ballots open today. Vote for me to be your Deputy Leader.

I’m proud to have run a positive campaign setting out my pitch to be a full time Deputy Leader.

I’m going to keep it positive with the reasons I’m standing and how I would do the job.

Delighted by this spread in the Mirror today about my campaign to be a full time Deputy Leader, a strong independent voice for members.

Unity of purpose comes not from command and control but by taking people with us & winning the argument.

As a full time Deputy Leader I will tell a stronger story about what Labour is for, whose side we’re on, the good things that we are doing.

Ballots begin to drop today.

Remember, members decide their Deputy. It’s a party role not a government one.

In the great traditions, I would be a distinctive voice, the members voice, full-time.

Right back at ya @roswynnejones.bsky.social What a lovely piece!

The truth is Ros spends every day campaigning against injustice, championing real heros, giving voice to the voiceless & tackling division wherever she sees it. Honoured to call you my friend.
