Sad to hear that @aaronned19 will be hanging up his skates at the end of the year. He is a top bloke and a great ice-hockey player who has had a brilliant career and really delivered for Swindon! Lots more to come from him as a full-time coach…
LISTEN: Aaron Nell talks about his decision to step away from playing for @SwinWildcats at the end of the ice hockey season: https://t.co/gnXYFvU2C4

The NHS is so precious to all of us. Labour will always protect it. We cannot let Nigel Farage anywhere near it.

Today, @greateranglia has transferred into public ownership, and the Transport Secretary, @Heidi_Labour, visited East Anglia to mark this new chapter. We want passengers to be at the heart of our railways again, saving taxpayers millions in fees, and ensuring value for money.

Great to meet @GordonBrown in Fife to see the work of the Big House Multibank. Ending child poverty is Labour’s moral mission: it’s why I entered politics and it’ll be my top priority as deputy leader.

This is simply unacceptable in a democratic country. Thanks to @KentPoliceMed for their support in this matter and messages of support from across the political spectrum in Medway.
One councillor believes it was motivated by the council’s response to the Raise the Colours campaign Full story here:

Dear @RobertJenrick. Born & bred in Handsworth. Represented it for 18 years as a councillor. Heard you're an expert now. Next time you're in town, I'd be delighted to give you a personal tour and even introduce you to my mum. Lots of love, Paulette x https://t.co/JFaiYObh52

The shadow justice secretary is accused of racism after saying the Handsworth area was one of the "worst-integrated".

Labour have presided over a "doom loop of higher taxes, weaker borders and month after month of chaos" says Kemi Badenoch who was part of a government that raised taxes and immigration levels by record amounts, whilst changing leader no fewer than four times

Kemi Badenoch tells Tory conference: "Britain is stagnating while the world around us moves on". She says only the Tories are "competent" enough to take Britain into a prosperous new era. Hard message to land when the Tories have just run the country for 14 years.
