Lots of support - and lots more work to do. This by-election is a choice between Labour and Reform UK, between unity and division. 🌹

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

The Electoral Commission said the omission was a matter for the police, stressing that failing “to include an imprint in candidate election material is an offence.” Continue reading...
