Over the coming months I’ll be out across Essex listening, and building a plan to deliver growth, opportunity and the homes and infrastructure Essex needs.

This campaign is about the people of Essex, fiercely proud and independent, and I’m ready to deliver for them.

Essex is my home — I’ve worked across this county for 20 years and I know how hard people are working to get by.

From the cost of living to housing and transport, people across Essex deserve better. It’s time for change with decisions made about Essex, here in Essex.

I’m honoured to be selected as Labour’s candidate to be the first ever Mayor of Greater Essex in 2026 🌹

Thank you to everyone who supported me — your trust means everything. Now it’s time to get to work.

Tory attempt to fundraise through grooming scandal petition exposed - 'breathtaking'

Kemi Badenoch has never actually met any grooming gang survivors The Tory leader's spokesman said she didn't need to meet with victims, because she's read all about it in the media - and had no current plans to meet with anyone - but denied she was jumping on an El...

New series of The Traitors has a new plot twist

Successive governments have failed on social care. It’s not a shortage of good ideas that’s the problem, but a shortage of good politics.

Today that changes with Louise Casey.

Britain has a social care crisis. Here’s how we’ll work together to fix it 👇🏻

People desperate for an emergency podcast.

It is all nonsense. The party and PLP are massively behind the agenda of fixing the country.
Think some people are beginning to wake up to how difficult that might be but that is all.

Labour MPs react to Kemi Badenoch at PMQs

Everything you need to know about how bad Kemi Badenoch is at PMQs

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

It's astonishing in how many areas the last government's response to difficult problems was just to abandon governing: to stop processing asylum claims, stop setting realistic budgets, ignore critical warnings from the prison system, and ultimately scuttle the ship by bringing forward the election.

This is basically exactly the same agenda that just got them thrashed at the last election by Labour.

Kemi Badenoch doesn’t seem to understand how many (real) people who voted in July would actually be really annoyed about another election.

I suspect her Party workers and fundraisers would also be less than impressed.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Saffron Walden leads Essex on ‘stop Brexit’ action - but MP says ‘country is run on elections, not petitions’ More than 10,000 people in the constituency of Saffron Walden have signed a petition to revoke Article 50 and remain the EU - the highest number of…

A reminder of what Kemi Badenoch said just a few years ago...

"It is always a positive thing to see engagement in politics but we run the country based on elections and not petitions..."

Badenoch: “If he wants to know what Conservatives will do, he should resign and find out. There’s a petition…”

Starmer: “We had a petition on July 4.”

Good lord. Politics on easy mode for the govt at PMQs.

Still looking to speak to housing association board members this week, if there are any on here #ukhousing

This is the best way to get others, esp journalists/politicians to join. It’s not necessarily ideological, it’s practical: a far better social media experience/way more useful for work.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵
