On a day when Hull should be celebrating with a multicultural carnival and grassroots music at Humber St Sesh, the far right are smashing up our beautiful city, stealing from shops and spreading hate. You don’t speak for us, you’re not welcome here.
Many thousands of leaflets, many thousands of steps, lots of lovely helpers, plenty of great conversations with residents. Proud to stand as a first-time candidate for

Sadly wasn’t meant to be for me tonight but some great Labour results elsewhere. Well done to all who stood and campaigned, and most importantly - to those who voted 🙏
❤️🌹 Joined by my actual mum on the
#LabourDoorstep
today in Hull. Very proud to hear her say: “I’m here campaigning for my daughter Sian, your Labour candidate” ❤️🌹
University Ward Labour Party is delighted to announce that Sian Humphries has been selected to stand as the Labour candidate for University ward in next year’s local elections, following Cllr Steve Wilson’s decision to not stand for re-election.
Am rather loving this collective moment of everyone going out into their back garden/street/hanging out of windows in their PJs to watch a truly amazing natural spectacle 🥰

Wait, please don’t tell me there are people out there willing to judge your parenting??? Honestly lovely, you guys are incredible. Anyone who thinks otherwise can get in the bin.

Can you throw in “Who is telling the truth, the govt or the police”? Just for good measure? Nice one guys, this thread is blooming awesome. MASSIVE WELL DONE 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Five years since Hull student Libby Squire went out for the night and never made it home. We pass her memorial every day. Tonight we stopped and laid flowers for her and all victims of VAWG
As a female political candidate I considered just deleting my social media, save me the abuse. But watching

One hedgehog rescued from the middle of the road and stowed safely away from traffic. Fingers crossed it’ll be ok now 🤞
This one is extra special to us! Congratulations to our long-term LWN Executive Committee sister

After travelling around the country supporting some of our incredible Labour women candidates, my final canvass of the campaign was back in Hull to GOTV for the fabulous Emma Hardy 🌹🌹🌹
Absolutely agree with
@Keir_Starmer
. I’m from a working class family who loved music and art, we went to (free) galleries and (cheap) concerts as kids. It enriched our lives and education, it opened our minds to new cultures and now I do the same for my kids 🙏
💥Starmer: "Tories think working people don't need culture... That's why the Tory 'culture wars' always end up as a war on culture. The arts shouldn't tell working class kids to know their place. They should help them find their place in the world, find truth and meaning." ~AA
A truly dreadful decision. At the charity I help we’ve seen huge increases in struggling families needing donated uniform. Schools must step back and question what they’re doing.
Holderness Academy has defended placing a child in isolation for wearing the supermarket version, insisting parents were made aware of the policy in June.
Rousing speeches from

govt to reverse the mess caused by the Tories 💪🌹
Jonathan Reynolds on Starmer saying he wants to be with his family rather than work after 6pm on Friday
"I love the fact that someone in such a prominent position in public life is saying as a father childcare is not just an optional extra you bolt on”

Are families only considered ‘striving’ if they can afford to educate their children privately? Given the cost of educating at Eton etc is higher than many families’ entire income, perhaps this is finally recognition that wages need to rise significantly 🧐
