@UKLabour and @CoopParty councillor for Shiregreen & Brightside. Still going to play for England one day.
Sheffield, England
Joined June 2011
This is very good news. Much more work to be done and an inquiry cannot possibly right the injustice of Orgreave. But it can make sure that the truth is known and that this can never, ever, happen again.

Interesting article by Adam Hirst for @thefabians. Lab needs to be the party of wage earners, not asset holders. Totally agree. These graphs show heโs right: wages flatline; assets increase. Wage earners of the world unite!

How can it be that I spend two hours on the EMR from Sheffield to St Pancras without the merest hint of WiFi but I can send this from somewhere half a mile below Euston? #levellingup.

Casey is right. It is ridiculous and dangerous to let drivers shop around for lower safeguarding standards. We need one national standard, protecting passengers and drivers who want to do the right thing.

Very sad to hear of Uri Rennieโs passing. Watched him ref as I was growing up - a trailblazer. Heโll be massively missed by all his many friends across Sheffield and particularly in @SheffLabour. RIP Uri.

Lesson 5: there are many more lessons to learn! But as @MayorRos said, we need to โlook and see what people are sayingโ because they are speaking very clearly.

Lesson 4: We must understand the voters @UKLabour has lost to Reform. One third of voters born in 1980 are poorer than their parents - the system is broken for too many people. If we canโt deliver, these people will rightly look to others who claim they can.

Lesson 3: We should be pleased that 10,000 new voters have joined the democratic process. Now we must show them that @UKLabour can shorten GP waiting times, lower prices, raise wages and, yes, stop the small boats which bring so much misery to those in them.

Delighted that @MayorRos is still Mayor Ros! Very proud that @SheffLabour played our part. Hope the councillors get over the line this afternoon. However, the results in Don and across the country pose questions for Labour. As Ros said, we need to listen.
