Nice trip out for Histon Towers yesterday taking the guided bus to St Ives to support @anna4labour.bsky.social launch her campaign to be the next mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough. And all for a £2 single each way thanks to the current Labour mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social

Very happy St Patrick’s Day, especially to everyone within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Area.

Lovely to welcome the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle MP, to Histon today. Campaigning with @anna4labour.bsky.social for mayor of Cambs & P'boro. Voters telling us that they know Anna is the only one who can beat the Tory here. Thanks for your support.

Great to be at Number 10 today with other Labour mayoral candidates for the May elections. Working with our Labour Government, we want to deliver the change our communities deserve. And yes, we got to meet @number10cat.bsky.social .

Out in the sleet in West Chesterton this morning with city candidate, Rosy, county candidate, Jocelynne, and MP, Daniel Zeichner. Joined by local councillors, volunteers, and Eastern MPs @jackabbott.bsky.social and Bayo Alaba. Thanks to everyone for coming.

Having a gander. Well done March Library.

Good to be in Peterborough with @andrewpakes.bsky.social , talking about Labour’s plan to make work pay. Fantastic to be joined by @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social, @jamesasser.bsky.social, local councillors, @unisoneastern.bsky.social, and volunteers from across our movement.

Excellent visit to Peterborough Asda today with @andrewpakes.bsky.social, hearing from some fabulous apprentices, and talking about the ways in which the store seeks to support our community. Especially good to be reminded that apprenticeships are for all, not just career starters.

In January, we handled 409 pieces of casework. Housing remains the largest issue affecting West Ham and Beckton. We have helped a number of families out of unsafe housing and will continue to work with the Council and the Government to help ensure safe and secure housing for everyone.

This is wonderful news. I can’t think of anyone better for this appointment. Congratulations to @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social .

A pleasure to meet George on Friday, at the ground-breaking on our new @camcitco.bsky.social development at Fanshawe Road. George started with Hill as an apprentice and is now site manager. It was a great run up to #NationalApprenticeshipWeek to hear about the start an apprenticeship gave him.

Interesting, challenging and fun time, listening, debating and catching up with old friends at #LabourLocalGovernmentConference

I’m a proud Labour and Cooperative councillor, so it was excellent to see the number of @coopparty.party.coop councillors and MPs at the @lgalabour.bsky.social conference, and to be able to give our support to Labour’s plans for community energy. @tomhayesmp.bsky.social @emmahoddinott.bsky.social

An absolutely fantastic weekend at @lgalabour.bsky.social conference. Really good to catch up with wonderful local gvt colleagues and to hear from our front bench team. Especially good to talk to Angela Rayner about the opportunities greater devolution brings.

🚍 Labour is putting passengers first 🚍   The Combined Authority’s decision to introduce bus franchising is great news for passengers across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough. For too long, private operators have prioritised profits over reliability - leaving communities stranded.

Spending a Sunday at #LabLocal25 listening to the Deputy Prime Minister before our excellent @coopparty.party.coop fringe at lunchtime.

At today’s Cambs and Peterborough Combined Authority board, we voted by a clear majority to recommend bus franchising to @mayordrnik.bsky.social. We now await the Mayor’s decision. Our residents, businesses, schools, and colleges want better buses. Franchising helps us achieve that. A historic day.

Great to be in Leicester today for @labourwalkscycles.bsky.social conference. In Sheffield, we’re committed to making our streets safer, more accessible and people-friendly. Fantastic to learn from colleagues like @anna4labour.bsky.social and @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social who share our ambition

Workshops all done and now we are wrapping the day with a discussion on delivery and the changing political landscape with an advent of right wing populism and conspiracies. Excellent discussion with @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social and @anna4labour.bsky.social #LabourWalksCycles25

The state of the roads was a popular topic out on the #labourdoorstep this morning. People pleased to hear about the £10m that the #Labour goverment has given #Cambridgeshire to fix potholes like this one in #Waterbeach

In Leicester today at the Campaigners Conference of @labourwalkscycles.bsky.social. V excited about hearing from so many people working hard to promote safer and easier active travel for all.

A busy day on growth today including meeting Transport Secretary @heidialexander.bsky.social with @samcarling.bsky.social to discuss franchising, better buses and improving transport links in Peterborough

Really good to hear Bridget Phillipson emphasising the important of careers guidance, skills and apprenticeships, and the power of second chances for learners in our education system.

Stop press. 🚨 Delighted to report that the cross-party Combined Authority Transport and Infrastucture Committee, which I chair, voted unanimously to recommend bus franchising to @mayordrnik.bsky.social 🚌 63% of responses to the consultation were in favour. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm so proud of what the Bennetts team in Pboro achieved last year, raising £5,818.81 for Magpas Air Ambulance #charity. This amazing charity relies 100% on donations to provide life-saving care across eight counties. John, Consumer Editor @cambridgeindy.bsky.social @anna4labour.bsky.social

I want to remind Londoners that our city is—and always will be—a place for everyone. We’ll continue to celebrate London as the diverse, open and welcoming city it is.

Great morning in King’s Hedges, Cambridge, with Minister of State, Anneliese Dodds, Deputy Leader of Cambs County Council, Elisa Meschini, local councillors and activists. Talking about the £10 million our Labour Government has given to help fix potholes in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Out talking to residents in Castle division this afternoon and great to hear from lots of people voting #Labour in May. Residents know it is a binary choice between @mayordrnik.bsky.social and the Tory for Mayor, and all I spoke to wanted the former! It might be cold, but the welcome was warm! 🌹

In Peterborough this morning, talking potholes with @andrewpakes.bsky.social. The Tories blamed local authorities but starved them of funds. The Labour Government has given Cambridgeshire and Peterborough an extra £10 million to fix potholes, which will help start putting things right.

Great to see LWN graduate @tracybrabinmayorwy.bsky.social championing the work and voices of women Mayors on @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2025/01/devo...

Good to see @thetimes.com covering launch of Peterborough Cathedral funding crisis campaign. And great picture by @terryharris.bsky.social The cathedral is part of our heritage and our future in Peterborough. We need to get behind it. www.thetimes.com/uk/religion/...

Mayor Dr Nik Johnson unleashes his Tiger - a bold bid to make travel easier for many in our rural communities

Experienced this myself in a private car park. Had to download new app. Paid as soon as installed & registered. Hit with fine, & appeal refused (thankfully not 2k though). Glad this is being addressed. So many reasons why someone might be a little slow to pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some @welshgovernment.bsky.social announcements made in the last week or so.

Thought-provoking time today at @jewishlabour.bsky.social conference - good conversations and brilliant panels, esp ❤️ one on economic growth and on mission-led gov. @shamatatler.bsky.social inspirational as ever. Congrats to @mike-katz.bsky.social & team on a great day #JLMConf2025

All 5 Coleridge Labour councillors, both City and County, out and about this morning, despite the cold. We knock on doors year round, not just at election time. It’s about picking up issues that need resolving for our residents and taking action.

From 2017-2024 entry level apprenticeship starts fell from 260,650 to 70,840. We need a revolution in apprenticeships. For growth & better opportunities for young people. Important @smfthinktank.bsky.social report today. Good that government is leading the way. 👉 www.smf.co.uk/publications...

Incredibly disappointing we are in this position as at result of an operator withdrawal. Those who live, work and study in affected areas will share our deep frustration. The CPCA under @mayordrnik.bsky.social has restarted procurement so buses can be put on those routes ASAP. shorturl.at/AtAbF

Sat 1 February 2025 - Join our 2025 Conference in Leicester! A day packed with practical advice on finding, refining and using political will for change in our communities. See you there! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/labour-cyc...
