As a British Indian, and who had one of the most incredible experiences of my life in working at Birmingham 2022, I am doing a happy dance right now! 🥳 🇮🇳

Also, a 130,000 seater for T20 Cricket (if it’s in) is going to be EPIC. 😍

Might be 7 months til Local Elections, but it’s vital to be on the doors as I was with @wolveswestlabour.org.uk members and my terrific MP @warinderjussmp.bsky.social in Penn today. 👊🏽

If #Penn wants change with a Labour Councillor working with a Labour MP, I am the choice!

Did my democratic duty yesterday and voted @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of The Labour Party. 🌹 🐝

My party needs a Deputy who will not be afraid to say it how it is to the Leadership and Lucy is ideally placed, not least after previously being Leader of the Commons.

And as per Page 52 of the 2024 Labour Manifesto, Ed Miliband confirms the Government will legislate to permanently ban Fracking.

Another one to be noted on @warrenoates1.bsky.social manifesto commitment tracker!

Think Ed Miliband wins speech of the conference by a mile. 🔥

That was absolutely tremendous and shows the exceptional leadership of a man who really means what he does. 👌🏽

Another great part of the PMs speech!

Calling racists, racist!

Calling out Farage and Reform for their plans to deport our friends and neighbours!

(And the addition of music makes it even better!)

Heidi Alexander is impressive - that’s it, that’s the post.

A cracking speech by her at Labour Conference and her experience in regional Government before coming back to Parliament and then into the Cabinet, is of huge benefit to the Government.

Well I wasn't expected this! And it's excellent!

They will be targeted to disadvantaged students studying priority courses to help them access & excel in their studies.

They grants were abolished by the Tories in 2016.

57% to 26% and voting still doesn’t open for another 2 weeks, must make this feel absolutely humiliating for Phillipson.

Very pleased Lucy is on course for a crushing win!

Am sad at the passing of Broadcaster John Stapleton, who was an absolute supreme journalist and presenter for over 50 years.

He did things brilliantly on ITV for much of that time and immensely passionate for politics and our democracy.

We need more people like John; my heart goes to his family.
