Today I laid a wreath at Failsworth War Memorial in honour of those who gave their lives for the freedom and democracy we cherish today. We will remember them.

This significant investment across the Greater Manchester region, including Manchester Central, will help deliver our commitment to more social and affordable homes.

Can just say great to talk to Robert Peston and Tom Bradby about the week in politics, my election as deputy leader and some of my priorities. www.itv.com/news/2024-01...

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on such a clear win in New York. His victory shows that boldness and a story of economic change in the interests of the many not the few, defeats the politics of division and despair. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pleased to take part in this photo as we commemorated 75 years since the rebuilding of the House of Commons Chamber after it was bombed during the Second World War. #RebuildingtheCommons

Thank you

I’ve got straight to work with Keir Starmer to discuss how we will work closely together to defeat the forces of division and hate, and to reunite the country.

"We have to offer hope, to offer the big change the country is crying out for. We must give a stronger sense of our purpose, whose side we are on and of our Labour values and beliefs” @lucympowell.bsky.social Deputy leader of the Labour Party 👏 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Polls have now closed. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and supported my campaign. The result will be announced on Saturday morning.

My Lucy Listens events have been all about giving you a voice and a say. Thank you for your support and feedback. You have until 12pm today to vote.

Polls close at 12pm today. Give me a strong mandate, to be your strong voice making the change our Party needs. Search for [email protected] in your inbox if you can’t find your vote.

A strong independent voice A full time Deputy Leader A bridge between membership and leadership Read my final message to Party members. Polls close 12pm today. labourlist.org/2025/10/lucy...

To defeat the politics of hate and division, Labour must stand firm for what we believe and show whose side we are on. My final message to Labour members and supporters covered by @manchestereveningnews.co.uk Vote before 12 noon tomorrow 23rd Oct www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

One of my last Lucy Listens of the campaign (more to come as your Deputy if elected) in Islington. Good to hear from members how they want to have their voices and experiences heard and acted on. You have until tomorrow (Thursday 23rd) at 12pm to vote.

Powerful speech from Angela Rayner. She reminds us of the power of progressive politics to change lives, like it did for her. She will continue to be a very strong voice for Labour. I’ve felt so much love for Ange in our movement these last few weeks ❤️

Labour has done lots of good things, but the public haven’t heard about them. Elect me to help Labour tell a stronger story and put the politics back in the conversation. Voting closes 12pm tomorrow, Thursday 23rd October.

Humbled to see the Manchester Labour Group (of the Council) supporting me to be Deputy Leader. That’s what unity looks like!

Polls close at lunchtime tomorrow. Vote for me to be your strong independent voice, bridging our membership and leadership.

We need Labour to get back on track and that means making changes to the way we do things, re-connecting with our communities. That’s what I will do as Deputy Leader. Voting closes noon Thursday.

Elect me as Labour’s new Deputy Leader to help Labour reach back into our communities and ensure broader voices are heard at the top of the Party. Voting closes noon on Thursday.

Give me the mandate to help make the change that Labour needs. Great to hear from members in Bolton at my Lucy Listens event this weekend.

Vote for me to take back the political megaphone - and make sure Labour shows the change we’re delivering every day. We need to tell people who we‘re for and what we believe in. Voting closes noon on Thursday 23rd October

People voted for change & they put their trust in us to deliver it. Vote for me to take back the political megaphone & make sure Labour shows the change we’re delivering every day. We need to tell people who we’re for & what we believe in. 🗳️ Voting closes on Thursday 23 October.

Wishing all my constituents, and those around the country celebrating, a very Happy Diwali.

I enjoyed speaking to @bethrigby.bsky.social on one of my favourite podcasts. Listen here on how I’ve been positive throughout on what I would do and my pitch. We also chatted a bit about City being more successful than Arsenal 😉 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

We need to get Anas Sarwar elected as First Minister next May. I spoke to the Sunday Mail about how I will help do that, from day one as Deputy Leader. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

We’ve done some good things in our first year in office, but we must do better to re-connect with the communities we serve and give a much clearer sense of our purpose and values. That’s how we succeed. That’s how we will re-unite the country.

Watch my latest video on why I need your mandate to be the strong Deputy Leader you want:

Enjoyed meeting members & campaigning in Blantyre in Scotland with the brilliant @monicalennon.bsky.social. Those I spoke to had a clear sense of how things need to change. 95 year old Helen, who first campaigned for Labour aged 10, should be made an adviser - she’d tell it how it is!

I am delighted that the plans to refresh Piccadilly Gardens have been unveiled today. These improvements are long overdue and I want to thank @bevcraig.bsky.social and the team at Manchester City Council for their vision and the work they have done to bring these plans forward.

Thanks to all the members in Bristol who came to my latest Lucy Listens event. 👇🏻

Great to speak to Matt Forde about the kind of Deputy Leader I’d be and how I can help Labour do better. Full In Conversation event here 👇🏻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=21AA...

I spoke to @bigissue.com about Labour’s values, housing, helping the most in need and more www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

Lovely afternoon in Brighton with the exceptional Leader Bella Sankey for Lucy Listens. Bella & the Brighton team took on the Greens, beat them and are now delivering progressive policies for the area. We can learn from them.

Very informative discussion with Gordon Brown and the leading child poverty charities yesterday about the urgent need to lift the 2-child benefit cap. Doing so would lift half a million children out of poverty.

Great to join so many good colleagues from Birmingham & West Mids on Friday (my birthday!) for a lovely evening. Big elections across the region in May. Members there want a strong voice, working full-time for them. I gave them my commitment.

Good but difficult conversations at Lucy Listens in Doncaster. Many good Labour councillors lost in May through no fault of their own. Doncaster now lives with a Reform dominated council. We must avoid a repeat of this in the elections this May. From day one as Deputy I will set to work.

I won’t waste a day as Deputy Leader getting to work on the elections next year. I won’t write off any councillors or Councils and will support Scotland and Wales. Our communities deserve it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thanks so much for your support @metromayorsteve.bsky.social “We need a very strong woman and she’s nobody’s fool”!

Thank you @monicalennon.bsky.social for your support in your Sunday Mail column this weekend. I really appreciate it. “I’d love Lucy to step into Angela’s shoes” Read why Monica is backing me 👇🏻

From Brighton to Bury - two respected local government leaders making a powerful case for @lucympowell.bsky.social for the next Labour Deputy Leader 👇🌹

Great to have @metromayorsteve.bsky.social's support at my Lucy Listen’s event in Liverpool today. Members want us to do better and they want the Deputy to be their voice, all the time, and to help us turn things around. That’s what I’ll do.

Great to be out over the weekend with my good friend @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social campaigning in the Moseley by-election for @stephenpihlaja.bsky.social. Friends in politics are very important. Jess is loyal, feisty, kind, and you know exactly what she’s about. Politics needs more like Jess.

I’m backing @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. Independent from Government and collective responsibility she will give all members a powerful voice in this important role and will fearlessly speak truth to power without fear or favour

The Co-operative Party is pleased to support Labour and Co-operative MP Lucy Powell @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

Good to be with the newly formed Warwick Labour Club and local members from the area with @mattwestern.bsky.social yesterday. We need to be attracting new young members to Labour, and that's something I'll prioritise.

Really delighted to have the support of Labour Friends of Palestine @lfpme.bsky.social Thank you.

I got a text! See why more and more members are supporting me as a strong voice for our movement 👇🏻

Enjoyed @lgalabour.bsky.social hustings last night & delighted to have picked up so much support afterwards. From Brighton to Bury, Labour must reconnect with its base. Thanks to council leaders Bella Sankey & Eamonn O’Brien for setting out why they’re voting Lucy labourlist.org/2025/10/lucy...
