Just been at Bridget Phillipson’s Deputy Leader Launch, I’m proud to back her! 🌹
From a council house in Washington to Education Secretary, she’s never forgotten where she comes from. She’s closing the gap.
Bridget cares and delivers. That’s why I’m backing her for Deputy Leader. 🗳️

The Supreme Court decision on Trans Identity is more than a simple clarification on wording, it's an attempt to push trans people out of public life completely
It echoes dangerous policies that have taken root here and abroad

One of the UK Conservatives’ biggest donors, Richard Harpin of Homeserve, has stopped funding the party. The Tories are already cash-strapped and this will probably mean the closure of their northern headquarters.
Another nail in the coffin for leader Kemi Badenoch.
