Honoured to be at the Broxtowe Holocaust Memorial Ceremony. The choir and soloist from Alderman White School were exceptional and the speeches from everyone were very moving. Pleased to see representation from friends across the political divides

Eastwood looking fabulous today in the sunshine with teams out speaking to residents.

Broxtowe's candidate for the forthcoming Nottinghamshire County Council elections Will Mee will be a fantastic advocate for Eastwood!

There is no place in political discourse for misogyny disguised as β€œsatire”. Well done tonight to our councillor Ellie Winfield for calling out the Conservative leader at Broxtowe for his comments. Thankyou to the support from other councillors cross party.

I was so pleased to deliver my maiden speech this week. It was such a privilege to bring #Broxtowe into parliament and talk about many of Broxtowe's gems, from Eastwood's DH Lawrence to Attenborough Nature Reserve.

Away from the recent splitting of the labour group at Broxtowe, it was good to be back out today talking with people and helping with their issues.

24 hours ago, 20 Broxtowe councillors resigned from the party and started their own party. That is their perogative. I am still a member of the Labour Party and Labour group on Broxtowe Council. Politics should be about serving people and not negativity.
