I am proud to be The Labour Party candidate for Walton, Brampton and Boythorpe for the Derbyshire County Council elections on 1st May 2025. Derbyshire needs a fresh start and only a Labour run county council, working with a Labour government, can fix the foundations and deliver real change. 🌹

Farage/Reform v rare visits to parliament are voting against employments right bill. They talk about workers’ rights but they voted against banning fire-and-rehire, scrapping zero-hours contracts, against sick leave and maternity pay. They want to charge to use our NHS. #Reform #Farage #FuckFarage

“Farage’s party voted against our employment rights Bill. They talk the language of workers' rights online & on the doorstep yet they voted against banning fire and rehire. And what about the NHS? They want to charge people to use our NHS. They fawn over Putin." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...?

Looking forward to returning to Glasgow tomorrow for Scottish Labour Conference… I'll be flying the flag for greater menopause awareness for those unable to have their own gynaes because their health matters too #KnowYourMenopause
