I am deeply honoured to have been appointed to the House of Lords by the Prime Minister & His Majesty The King. A huge thank you to my family, friends, and team for all their support over many years. Looking forward to doing my best to do good with this incredible opportunity.

24 hours to go! Labour members only have until midday on Wednesday to vote for our West of England Mayor candidate. I'm proud to be from and for our region, and to have wide support across it. Together, we're building a movement to win. Still undecided?

I'm proud to have the support of all of Labour's former Deputy Mayors and our former Bristol Mayor, @MarvinJRees. But my supporters, like my local roots, stretch right across our region. I know and love the West Country, and will deliver for it. Vote by Wednesday lunchtime.

I'm the only candidate with the backing of a Labour Cabinet Minister in this race, having built the relationships to deliver from day one. @darrenpjones knows what it takes. From the Portishead Line to skills funding and new homes, I know what we need and how to secure it.

Marg knows her onions about the candidates in this race. She was Labour Group Leader for four years, and we worked together twice to deliver a Labour Mayor. We can win again in May, with the right candidate for West of England Mayor. If you're a Labour member, vote by 20 Nov.

I've loved chatting with fellow Labour Party members and trade unionists across my home region in recent weeks. Together, we're building a movement to win. Undecided on who our candidate for West of England Mayor should be? Drop me a line before 20 Nov:

I'm proud to be from and for our region. I'm even prouder to be nominated by Labour Party members and trade unionists in Bath & NE Somerset, Bristol, and South Gloucestershire. With such broad support, together we can win and deliver for the West Country: https://t.co/fVMp0kJR1K

All my former colleagues who served as Labour Deputy Mayors are backing me to be our candidate for West of England Mayor. Labour members have until noon on 20 Nov to vote! So proud to have worked with Asher on skills, tackling youth violence and domestic abuse, and so much more.

I'm delighted to have @MetroMayorSteve's backing to win for Labour and then deliver growth for the West Country. Steve: "Labour needs a really strong candidate... I know Helen Godwin and believe she is best placed to win the election for Labour." More: https://t.co/MOQyf59sMx

People who work closely with us often know us best: what drives us and what we actually deliver. Particularly when running a major council. So I'm delighted to have the backing of Bristol's former Labour Mayor and every single former Labour Deputy Mayor: https://t.co/MOQyf59sMx

I've been winning campaigns in our region since I was 10, securing a new playground from a Tory councillor. Since then, I've led winning mayoral and MP elections for Labour – and been elected and re-elected as a councillor. Together, we can win in May and deliver real change.

“What happened around Nigel is not an acceptable form of protest, what I can’t pretend is that he hasn’t fed into a culture of anger that ends up manifesting in this kind of aggressive kind of politics.” Former Lab Mayor Marvin Rees reacts to objects being thrown at Nigel Farage.
