Fewer CLPs meeting on the penultimate night of nominations, but a huge thank you to all those who backed @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social so far this evening. And shout out to the CLPs with meetings tomorrow on the last and final day of CLP nominations!

Labour’s argument against Reform and the far right cannot be purely practical. It must be moral too. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m delighted to be backed by the Jewish Labour Movement. I will be a Deputy Leader for all our Party and all our communities, bringing Labour’s heart and soul to the Cabinet table. www.jewishnews.co.uk/jlm-members-...

By importing dangerous conspiracies, Farage is endangering women. It’s time for us in the Labour Party to decide whether our response will be to face inward, or to face down Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Out in Kennington with @florenceeshalomi.bsky.social, hearing directly from members and voters about what matters most. We won’t beat Reform by shouting from the sidelines. As Deputy Leader, with a seat in Cabinet, I’ll unite our party, deliver change and take the fight to Reform.

From fighting for a living wage for workers in my constituency as a backbencher to reinstating the SSSNB as Education Secretary — I’ve always been on @gmb.org.uk members’ side. They know what I stood for then. They know what I stand for now. Humbled to receive their nomination.

Back in early 2024, I spoke to @unison.org.uk about securing better rights for school support staff. As Education Secretary, I’ve stayed true to my word. They know what I stood for then. They know what I stand for now. Honoured to have their backing. magazine.unison.org.uk/2024/03/23/g...

Great to join @tulipsiddiq.bsky.social in Highgate today, chatting with members about what matters most to them. I am a campaigner — and I will be a campaigning Deputy Leader. Now is the time to unite, deliver change and take the fight to Reform.

I’m a campaigner - and I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader. This last week I’ve visited every region & nation in Britain - telling Labour’s story. We need to unite, bring change, and defeat Reform to win again.

Thank you to @unison.org.uk for nominating @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party 🎉

Thank you to @gmb.org.uk for nominating @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party 🎉

Thank you to all the CLPs who have nominated @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party over the last couple of days, including👇

UNISON has chosen to back Bridget Phillipson to become deputy leader of the Labour Party

GMB is nominating Bridget Phillipson, our member of 20 years, for Labour Deputy Leader. Labour’s pledge to reinstate the School Support Staff Negotiating Body is vital. GMB represents over 100,000 school support staff. We look forward to Bridget delivering on Labour’s promise.

“I’ve spent most of my life being underestimated, but I always get the job done and deliver.” My full interview here 👉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

School support staff haven’t had the respect they deserve. That’s why I’m fully committed to the SSSNB — a negotiating body for them and only them. Everyone who works in schools deserves to be valued. schoolsweek.co.uk/its-time-to-...

Our Best Start School Based Nurseries have created 5,000 new childcare places since opening earlier this month. I'm not slowing down. From today, more schools can now bid to join the programme as we work to create another 7,000 places across the country. www.gov.uk/government/n...

This morning I joined @rosiewrightingmp.bsky.social at Compass Primary Academy’s free breakfast club. Every child deserves to start the day fed and ready to learn. That’s why I’m rolling out free breakfast clubs and why tackling child poverty would be my core mission as Deputy Leader.

🆕: We've smashed our childcare targets. Over half a million children are now getting high-quality early years education and their families are saving £7,500 per child, per year. I'm delivering for working people - putting Labour values into practice. www.beststartinlife.gov.uk

I’m proud of what Sadiq Khan has done for London as Mayor, and every Labour member should be too.

Really enjoyed spending time in Wortley with @markjsewards.bsky.social speaking with local members and residents. We won’t beat Reform by standing on the sidelines. As Deputy Leader, with a seat in Cabinet, I’ll unite our party, deliver change and take the fight to Reform.

It’s a privilege to receive support from Baroness Longfield, whose passionate advocacy for children’s rights is an inspiration to so many of us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

David Blunkett is a political giant. Profoundly proud to have his backing. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

I will champion workers’ rights at the Cabinet table. The Employment Rights Bill must be delivered in full. No ifs, no buts. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The brave students who landed this week have chosen to answer loss with learning, despair with determination, and war with hope. They are an inspiration and I am deeply relieved that they’ve arrived in the UK & can now continue their education in safety. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Thank you to @wearethemu.bsky.social for nominating @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party 🎉

Thank you to @labourhousinggroup.bsky.social for nominating @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party 🎉

Kemi Badenoch should throw Liz Truss out of the Tory party. See my letter below 👇

The SNP is a knackered government that doesn’t deserve a third decade in power. I’m ambitious for Scotland’s future. And as a campaigning Deputy Leader, I’ll be working day & night to help Scottish Labour win in May — and return Anas Sarwar as First Minister. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Stunning views in Edinburgh today with @chrismurraymp.bsky.social and @sarahboyack.bsky.social supporting Dr Oliver Thomas our amazing candidate for Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith. I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader — working day and night to help Scottish Labour win next May.

Out campaigning today in Glasgow, where my grandad grew up. Lots of tenement doors knocked with John Grady MP, @zubirahmed.bsky.social & our candidate Mo Ameen. Proud, as always, to be backing Scottish Labour. We need a new direction, it’s time to build a Scotland that works for all.

Recognising the State of Palestine rights a historic wrong. The mass starvation and killing of civilians in Gaza is morally reprehensible — we must see an immediate ceasefire, a surge in aid and the release of all hostages to begin building a lasting peace.

Great to be out in Hitchin with @alistrathern.bsky.social talking to residents about their concerns. With my Deputy Leadership, we can bring our party together and deliver the second Labour term our country desperately needs. Now is the time to unite, deliver change and beat Reform.

I’m really proud to be backed by these mayors, who are delivering day in, day out for the people they represent. As Deputy Leader, I’d speak up for every Labour Member, nation and region from my seat at Cabinet. labourlist.org/2025/09/chil...

Fighting child poverty would be my top priority as Deputy Leader.

Thank you for all the nominations so far tonight! With a mandate to do more as Deputy Leader, I will unite our party and deliver change.

I’m honoured to be the first candidate on the ballot paper for the Deputy Leadership & to have the most nominations from CLPs the length & breadth of the UK. I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader at the Cabinet table, fighting for our values. labour.org.uk/deputy-leade...

Tackling child poverty will be my top priority as Deputy Leader. Everything is on the table, including removing the two-child limit. As Deputy Leader — with a seat in Cabinet — I will be fighting to lift children out of poverty day in, day out: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Scrapping of two-child benefit cap closer as Bridget Phillipson attacks ‘spiteful’ policy

We won’t achieve our party’s historic mission of tackling child poverty by shouting from the side lines. It won’t happen unless there is someone with the clout – and the mandate — to make it happen. Read about my priority as Deputy Leader here: labourlist.org/2025/09/excl...

Great to be out with Richard Tunnicliffe in Caerphilly today. Wales is on the front line of Labour’s fight against Reform. As Deputy Leader I’ll never write Wales off — I’ll be a campaigning voice, bringing hope & optimism, fighting every day to get Labour candidates elected across the country.

This is my message to Scottish Labour members.

So proud to have the backing of @communityunion.bsky.social to be Labour’s Deputy Leader. This campaign isn't about contesting the past - it's about shaping the future. Together we can deliver the change voters want to see and secure a second Labour term.

I voted last night for the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation. Our members campaigned for it. The British public voted for it. Today, this Labour government is one step closer to delivering it.

Thank you @usdawunion.bsky.social @joannegsusdaw.bsky.social for your nomination — it means so much. Together, we can unite our party and deliver change.

The choice is simple. Shape the years ahead, or contest the years behind.

This is why I’m running to be Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
