John Slinger MP

Team Rugby Labour back for our third trip to Gorton & Denton for the by-election
(here with David Smith MP & others).

A great response on the doorstep for our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia. Vote Labour!

Fab response on the doorstep for Cllr Dave Toulson in 🌞 Coventry today. Vote Labour 🗳️ 🌹 🥇

It was lovely to join Rugby Campaign for Real Ale at the Windmill Inn as they presented their Pub of the Year award to The Windmill Inn’s Gemma and Andy.

Pubs are a vital part of our community.

Nice to grab a pint at the end of the week too!

Well done Gemma and Andy. Well-deserved.

Another in-person advice surgery completed in Rugby this afternoon.

My team and I will now crack on with helping people with their cases.

Last week I held another “Zoom” surgery for those who can’t get to the physical surgeries.

Please contact my office to book an appointment.

Good to be in Gorton and Denton again to help Angeliki Stogia in the by-election. Joined by Rugby Labour friends and MP friends! A good team!

I’m looking forward to knocking on doors to help Angeliki Stogia, our brilliant Labour candidate for the Gorton & Denton by-election.

Rugby Labour are with you
💪🏼 🌹 🥇

It was ☔️ but we had 🌞 conversations on the doorstep in Eastlands today.

Listening all year round.

The quick & clear decision of Labour’s NEC means we can move on from the damaging, introspection & psychodrama of the last week.

Let’s pull together behind whoever is selected and come together to beat Reform and then focus on vital elections in May.

Good to be out with the Rugby Labour team meeting people, listening to concerns & talking about how the Labour government is helping families & getting the cost of living down:

✅ £150 off energy bills
✅ Free breakfast clubs
✅ Pay ⬆️ 3.5 million ppl
✅ Rail fare freeze
✅ 30 hrs free childcare

NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11.

When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them.

636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.

Great to be in Rugby town centre today with my colleague from Rugby Labour Party and our Councillors, meeting people, listening, talking about what we’re doing locally and nationally and gaining signature for my petition calling for more Dr-led urgent treatment at the local Hospital of St Cross.

Speculation about Andy Burnham’s return & a leadership challenge is bad for Labour & more importantly, the country.

We should back the Prime Minister as he leads the team delivering renewal for our county.

The 🌞 was shining on a 🥶 day in Rugby today - meeting residents, listening, explaining about what we’re doing locally and nationally to help people & to build a better 🇬🇧

My view: Labour must avoid a return to the chaos of leadership challenges that we saw under the Conservatives. We should get behind the PM to deliver a more prosperous and fairer country.

Wishing all my constituents a very Happy Christmas!

It was lovely to be at the carol service at St Edith’s Church in Monks Kirby.

Thanks for inviting me.

Beautiful singing by the village choir and accompaniment by
Bilton Silver Band.

It was a real joy to join Rugby Elim church for their carol service this evening. Thank you for inviting me.

We need a #RealManosphere to counter toxic content from people like Andrew Tate. Being strong does not mean being mean. And I will keep defending trans people's right to live with dignity. Kindness, empathy and fairness must guide us.

Met with Transport Minister to make the case for Gibbet Hill roundabout funding and road safety action. With DIRFT and Magna Park expanding, we need this junction upgraded. I have written to the Roads Minister urging its inclusion in RIS3 funding.

Reform UK may think they own patriotism. They don't. Our Labour government has pride in Britain rooted in decency and renewal, not division. We are an incredible country and don't need Reform to tell us. True patriotism means investing in communities, not grievance politics.

Want to meet with me? I've held 35 surgeries this year across Rugby, Bulkington and the villages. Book an appointment: john.slinger.mp@parliament.uk or 01788 227444. I'm in the constituency Thursday to Monday every week.

I utterly condemn the antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish people on Bondi beach.

My thoughts are with all the victims and all affected by this barbaric attack.

We stand with Jewish people everywhere against the evil of antisemitism.

As Shabana Mahmoud makes clear, Keir Starmer is “not going”. He’s getting on with his job, and ministers, the parliamentary Labour Party & the WHOLE Labour movement need to focus every second of being in government on delivering for our country

Get behind Keir Starmer to beat Reform, Labour deputy tells party Lucy Powell says Labour figures must unite to prevent Nigel Farage’s party from running more councils

Well said, @lucympowell.bsky.social, we must get behind Keir Starmer Get behind Keir Starmer to beat Reform, Labour deputy tells party

'Sharing Labour's message is made harder when we hang out our dirty washing' Writing for The Mirror, Labour's deputy leader Lucy Powell urges the party to unite behind Keir Starmer ahead of major elections in England, Scotland and Wales in 2026

2026 will be a big year. We in Labour must make and win the argument together that our progressive politics is changing peoples lives for the better. We must stay united, beat the politics of division and hate and overcome the challenges ahead.

Turning Up the Volume on Youth Opportunity in Rugby From 380 young people on benefits to real action - how I’m fighting for a Youth Triple Lock and bringing practical support to our constituency

380 young people in Rugby claim unemployment benefits. I am working to bring a youth hub to our constituency and campaigning for a Youth Triple Lock in Parliament. Our young people deserve real opportunities, not empty slogans.
