Great club and ground to visit @peckhamtownfc.bsky.social - and they were unlucky to get nothing out of the game today

Putin invaded Ukraine I'm old enough to remember when US Presidents were capable of making that known to the world

Badenoch was the minister for Council Tax so she can’t talk! #PMQs

Council tax went up 12 years in a row under the Tory governments. #PMQs

Tory MP James Cartlidge: “We must stand up to Macron” Healey: “Drop that Brexit rhetoric” Labour is being way too cautious on the reset with the EU but this kind of put down to the relentlessly adolescent EU-phobic rightwing is very welcome.

Always good to be back on an army camp - Wattisham

Good session in Woolston talking to residents. In particular, a formerly Tory voting veteran mentioned how much he appreciated Keir Starmer’s leadership on Ukraine.

The remains of Wolverton Park, former home of Wolverton AFC and one of Milton Keynes City's many incarnations. All that's left is the outline of the pitch and a crude replica of what was one of football's oldest covered shelters.

Thank you to Ipswich MP @jackabbott.bsky.social for his visit today to see the services that @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social delivers to our local community and to hear directly from our Medical Director to learn more about specialist palliative and end of life care. @hospiceuk.bsky.social

Labour's new breakfast clubs will be transformational, boosting educational outcomes and life chances for children, and easing the cost of living for parents. I'm delighted that schools in Ipswich and Suffolk will benefit from the first phase. My East Anglian Daily Times / Ipswich Star column 👇

A very special grave to me is that of a Post Office Rifles lad at rest far from home in the soil of Verdun.

Reform, the Putin and Trump party.

Imagine if it was Johnson - or even worse - Truss - hosting a conference of European leaders, dealing with Putin, Ukraine and Trump? Complete chaos - we should all be very grateful that it is Starmer who is showing true statesmanship

Regardless of views on domestic policy, at a time that the US president is so unpredictable and unreliable Starmer will have to use all his experience as the UK’s top prosecutor to maintain any form of working relationship. I think he’s better placed than the last few PMs but it’ll be hard.

Five Labour MPs with military backgrounds have accused Reform of "openly parroting the Kremlin’s talking points" Mike Tapp, Will Stone, Helena Dollimore, Fred Thomas & Paul Foster in @thehousemag.bsky.social say that Farage's party is "out in the cold, isolated and indifferent" to "barbaric" Putin

A former councillor who was suspended over accusations of pro-Russian social media posts is now Ipswich's Reform UK chair. www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/2496141...

See the Ipswich branch of the Reform Party have appointed someone as Chair who even the local Tories threw out after his comments supporting Putin (the Tories did want him back!)

🦷 15,500 desperately needed dental appointments for our area, delivering on the promise we made. Combined with the important work being undertaken at the University of Suffolk Dental CIC, I hope we will soon be able to put an end to our county’s dental desert.

Meet Laurence Bradley , your Labour candidate for the Rushmere St Andrew bye election tomorrow . He is a local man, in touch with the community and ready to work hard for you . Polling starts tomorrow at 7 am.

Sad to hear that Henry Kelly- 'Going for Gold' presenter has passed away- many lunchtimes at MPH in Belfast, watching the quiz, cuppa in hand and slippers on! Hard life! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Donated.

Strong leadership by Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, increase in Defence spending - Britain will lead NATO by example - needed more than ever with Trump in the White House

Great to see for this long standing g business on Norwich Road in Ipswich, well done Minhaz www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/2495957...

Another big team from Ipswich Labour out in Rushmere St Andrews, supporting Laurence Bradley, only candidate who lives in the ward

Ipswich Council, budget debate last night - one Tory councillor states we should build cheap houses to save money then 5 minutes later another Tory then agrees with us that we are right to build quality homes, they can't even agree with each other

The Tories were right to stand with Ukraine in 2022, the only correct policy. To see so many of them bootlicking Trump & playing party politics over Ukrainian & European security is gross.

This Labour government has delivered its first step for our NHS seven months early, with two million extra appointments helping you and your family get seen and treated quicker - with £40 million allocated to go further and faster.

Great to join a team from Ipswich Labour , campaigning for our candidate, Laurence Bradley, standing in Rushmere St Andrew in East Suffolk

📅 Sunday February 9th 2025 ⏰ KO: 5pm 🏆 División Honor Vizcaya 🇪🇸 📍 Estadio Nuevo Ategorri 💶 €10 📖 None SD Erandio Club 6 (Erreguerena 13,51,59, Zarraga del la Fuente 23,41, Arzuaga 53) Gatika Kirol Taldea 1 (Karkamo 84) Att:237

Erandio is a ridiculously good ground, an absolute must visit for anyone going to Bilbao. The Nuevo Ategorri (“Red Door”) is actually 100 years old later this year. The superb clubhouse is absolutely steeped in history, some pennants so old they are made of leather!

There's a debate to be had about how commercialised football has become. But it's lovely to know there's clubs like Erandio Club, where the rougher edges haven't been polished out & the faded glories linger. This is a gorgeous piece & much of what @terraceedition.bsky.social is about.

I was delighted to welcome the Environment Secretary, Steve Reed MP, to Ipswich today. Our Tidal Barrier protects thousands of homes and hundreds of businesses, so it was an apt setting for the Government's announcement of a record £2.65 billion investment into flood defences.

Keir Starmer: "In December 2020 I was working... on one of the most important issues for our country in recent years. What were they doing? Suitcases of booze into Downing Street, partying and fighting, vomiting up the walls, leaving the cleaners to remove red wine stains. That's the difference."

Ipswich has an incredible arts and culture scene - we have so much to be proud of. We have something special simmering away, and my job as an MP is to not only support this industry, but to do everything I can to help take it to another level. A City of Culture bid will help us do that.

Belgium for #FloodlightFriday , the Heysel in Brussels

A few red cards to finish the game but Union St Gilloise deserve the 2-1 win over v SC Braga in Europa League

Years of inertia regarding the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting both Ipswich and Suffolk. That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

Arrived at King Baudouin Stadium for Union St Gilloise v SC Braga - Europa League

A good night for Shakhtar Donetsk in Shalke, a 2-0 win over Stade Brest
