Good luck to @UKLabour candidates today, and especially to @LabourWomensNet members and graduates across the country. And also to Labour staffers who work very hard and are often unappreciated. Good luck and thank you all! 🌹

Casually calling for an MP to be killed (female one too, as it often is). In Oxford yesterday.

Absolutely in the bin with this

Funny how people call for wealth taxes until you actually try to do one

Not a fan of the House of Lords, but very pleased to see that more than half of Labour’s new peers are women. #persist

We are deeply saddened to hear the news that John Prescott has died. John was a staunch defender of local government & a passionate supporter of devolution. He was a great campaigner who will be missed by so many in our Party.

Our thoughts are with Pauline, Jonathan & David.

Nan Sloane @nansloane.bsky.social · Aug 18

That’s amazing, thank you! I’m writing another one now.

Nan Sloane @nansloane.bsky.social · Aug 18
