Look who is out in Olney! 👀
@SKinnock
@EmilyThornberry
A few years ago, a Labour councillor in Olney would have been unimaginable. Now we have one councillor, and are working to get a second to stand up for the area.
We’re demonstrating there are no ‘no go’ areas for Labour 🌹
While we campaigned to keep this fire station open, every Conservative on the Tory-led Fire Authority voted to close it.
The Fire Authority has now left the site derelict and vandalised, so Loughton & Shenley candidate
@ShanikaMahendr1
is asking them to clean it up👇
Hi
@Ben_Everitt
, we’re sure lots of people were hoping you’d be a fresh, strong voice for MK.
It’s a shame you chose to tow the Tory line rather than support children of families struggling with Covid/redundancies/recession.
Yours sincerely,
Disappointed residents of MK North
And it’s another GAIN with the brilliant, talented and hardworking
@mcbride_brigid

@AnnelieseDodds
MP! 🌹
After this week’s by-election win we’re really excited about getting more hardworking Labour representatives elected in May 🗳
If you are following Chiefgate...
1. 2 tory sources confirm Cain was offered job by PM at weekend after talking about it for few weeks
2. PM's fiance, Carrie Symonds, however, said to be deeply unhappy about the plan
3. Not now clear what outcome will be
Tory sleaze is back.
The two Conservative MPs for MK just voted to change the rules to let their mate who used his position to earn over £100,000 lobbying for private companies off the hook.
It is one rule for them, another for the rest of us.
📢 Big day today with teams out across Milton Keynes speaking to residents!
We were joined by Chair of the Labour Party,

🚨 NEWS: Labour-led MK Council is today working on an emergency solution to support the thousands of families left worrying about feeding children during school holidays after Conservative MPs, including MK’s, voted against continuing the free meal scheme.
📣 Teams out in Loughton & Shenley, Bletchley Park and CMK wards this afternoon.

We need change. Vote Labour 🌹🗳
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Councillor Carole Baume died earlier this morning.
We are deeply saddened to have lost such an amazing person, friend and colleague, and her loss will be greatly felt in Milton Keynes Labour, the council and in her ward.
Busy weekend so far out and about speaking to local residents!
Great to have so much support for Labour, including ahead of Thursday’s by-election in Loughton & Shenley ward 🌹🗳
Leo is standing to be your Labour Councillor for Loughton & Shenley ward in the by-election on 22nd Feb.
He is working hard for every vote - and will continue the positive work Labour has done in the ward over the years! 🌹
Pretty sure this is not what people were hoping for when they elected
@Ben_Everitt
, Conservative MP For Milton Keynes North, to represent their best interests and ‘Get Brexit Done’. 🥴
Embarrassing.
We were out across MK today spreading Labour’s positive message for our city 📣 🌹
So much support for our community champions standing for Council and for our brilliant Parliamentary Candidates!
☀️ It was a beautiful day to be out speaking to hundreds of residents in our city!
🌹 We’re working hard to deliver a better future for people after 14 years of Conservative decline.

Chris Curtis, our Parliamentary Candidate for Milton Keynes North, on our wonderful city and the benefits of Labour’s plan for more new towns like it 👇
The Conservatives have taken Olney and surrounding villages for granted for too long.
Debbie Whitworth is a true community champion who will be a strong voice for Olney ward on Milton Keynes City Council.
Vote Labour on May 4th 🌹🗳
While Rishi Sunak might be 🐔 chickening out 🐔 of a May General Election, we’ve still got incredibly important local elections on May 2nd, where you can have your voice heard 🌹
We’re out every day campaigning, and today was a busy one! 👇
Sleeping rough is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - and local charities are working hard to get people back on their feet.
Last night our Parliamentary Candidate for MK North Chris Curtis joined others in sleeping outside to raise money for one of these charities,

Congratulations to new Cabinet Member Cllr Shanika Mahendran, who joins in the Climate, Sustainability and Innovation brief 👏
Shanika will bring passion and enthusiasm. She is the first woman of Asian-heritage and one of the youngest ever to hold a cabinet position in MK.
A former Conservative Prime Minister has been caught messaging current Tory Ministers to secure cash for his dodgy employers.
MK Conservative MPs just voted against a full parliamentary inquiry.
Sleaze. Corruption. Cronyism. It’s one rule for them, another for everyone else.
Hi
@Ben_Everitt
-
We’re just wondering why it took a phone call from
@mkfm
for Councillor Baines to delete this comment from your page. Did you find it acceptable enough not to delete it yourself?
What action will
@MKConservatives
and
@acwalker28
be taking on this?
✉️📮 Postal votes are arriving in the Loughton & Shenley by-election.
🌹 Leo Montague is hardworking, experienced and lives in the ward with his young family.
✅ Make sure to vote for Leo and return your vote!
❌TORIES BREAK PROMISE ON POLICE❌
👮🏽♀️ MK will receive just 36 new police officers, not the 183 pledged by MK North’s new Tory MP during the General Election
❌ This isn't even enough to bring us back to 2010 levels, as crime continues to rise
Starting our weekend off strong campaigning with team GMB! ✊
We’ll be out all of this weekend working hard for Labour wins across Milton Keynes on May 5th 🌹
@GMBPoliticsLDN
Congratulations to Cllr Lauren Townsend taking up the role of Cabinet Member for Finance 👏
A strong and incredibly capable existing Cabinet Member - Lauren becomes one of only a handful of women in the country with this portfolio.
🚨 BREAKING: MK’s two Tory MPs,
@Ben_Everitt

@iainastewart
, just abstained on a vote to

to Universal Credit, choosing to obediently tow the Tory Party line rather than fight for struggling families across Milton Keynes.

Another great day knocking doors and speaking to residents, this time in Bletchley.
