It means a lot to me to have the support of former Labour Leader Neil Kinnock. He represents our values and our traditions, and was one of our great leaders and orators.

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader.

Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better.

I will be your strong independent voice.

“I will be a full time deputy leader, a strong independent voice” @LucyMPowell sets out her compelling case to the conference in Liverpool - and judging by the reaction of the audience the members agree with her

Good to see the Prime Minister taking such a clear and strong stance against racism - that’s what leadership looks like

Lucy will speak truth to power. This is a great start to being louder about living our Labour values. We all want the government to succeed but we are better & more successful when we draw on our broad coalition.Members get that. More and more members are joining her campaign www.lucyfordeputy.co.uk

We are the grassroots campaign determined to link the heart of the Labour Party with its head. Members are increasingly showing they want a full time Deputy leader who will represent their values and is unafraid to have difficult conversations when we need to change course.(2/3)

Last nights interim published figures of CLP nominations for Deputy Leader are very encouraging for Lucy Powell. With 221 to 140, that’s 61%.

Final nominations will be known tomorrow but this shows clear support from members from the length and breadth of the country.

Outstanding from ⁦‪@LucyMPowell‬⁩ on how she “would take the fight to Farage in a way that would energise our movement and expose the mendacity his populist rhetoric disguises.”
Exactly the kind of spirit we need from a Deputy Leader

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

On Merchant Navy day we remember the sacrifices of merchant seafarers in both world wars, and recognise their vital role in keeping our trade moving today.

Their service and courage must never be forgotten.

Fascinating visit to the Rio Tinto Lithium site in Bromborough, previously part of Arcadium Lithium and, before that, Livent.

Got to handle lithium — amazingly light and versatile it can be found in many products. Proud to see such skill and innovation here in Bromborough!
