Really pleased to have come 4th from a standing start in #Cottenham & #Willingham against the national mood with a serious vote swing away from the Lib Dems to Labour. 🌹

My Plan for #Cottenham #Rampton and #Willingham @eastcambslabour.bsky.social

- Don’t just fix potholes! Relay roads if required 🚘

Our second nominee is @rebeccadenness.bsky.social , who is vying to represent #Littleport. Last July, Rebecca served as the #Labour prospective parliamentary candidate for #WestSuffolk and has been a notable presence on the #Ely council for several years.
