Labour backs our armed forces, but much of our armed forces accommodation is currently not fit for purpose. I'm hosting a Veterans' Voice event in the next few months. In the meantime, please share your experiences of defence housing: https://t.co/DDisjhs50l #HomesFitforHeroes https://t.co/XPtLaAb1MH
Whoops... we've had a few problems with our telephone line. Everything is back up and running now. Sorry for any inconvenience ☎️ https://t.co/yojsLOzzt9
It was great to join industry leaders at the #UKBusCoach23 conference in Birmingham to share Labour's plans to give communities more say over the bus services they depend on. https://t.co/H0QzTGZBoH https://t.co/rhvjZxm0SW

Bowel cancer is both treatable and curable if diagnosed at the earliest stages. This #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, I’m helping @bowelcanceruk raise awareness by sharing their symptoms quiz. Early diagnosis really does save lives: https://t.co/cmN9yevd8S #KnowTheHigh5

The Tories have been promising action on buses for years and now the cross-party Transport Committee finds: ❌ Zero emission bus target unlikely to be met ❌ Bus Back Better plan in tatters ❌ Even more services at risk We need a @UKLabour government for better buses!
Wakefield has the 2nd and 3rd most polluted rivers in England and so I was shocked by reports the @EnvAgency don’t have a full-time team working on the sewage crisis. The Government are all talk - and are clearly not serious about tackling the scourge of sewage in our rivers. https://t.co/rR7nUU3tSt
Last night, Labour voted to give local authorities a say on asylum hotel use - as Wakefield Council is having a third forced on our area. Conservative MPs voted against Labour's amendment. What are they so afraid of? https://t.co/wp8jB6aqv3
Tonight I spoke in favour of a @UKLabour amendment in the House of Commons, that would have forced the Home Office to consult with local authorities, like Wakefield Council, when they are considering the use of hotels for asylum seekers. The Tories voted against it. https://t.co/QLphsutDbH
