BREAKING: Labour's Fair Pay Agreements would give working people a pay rise and boost our economy.
Labour would bring together representatives from workers and employers to agree minimum pay and conditions in their industry.
Good for working people. Good for business.

What a winner. A true British hero. Congratulations @EmmaRaducanu on an inspirational win. From qualifier to champion without dropping a set. A phenomenal achievement. #USOpen

Can Sajid Javid confirm he will resign from his extra-parliamentary role as an advisor to JP Morgan or that he intends to do so at the earliest opportunity to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest as he takes on the role as guardian of the NHS?

Keir Starmer and his team are trying to scapegoat @AngelaRayner for Labour’s disaster.
Trying to pin the blame on a working class woman for *their* lack of vision or strategy, *their* lack of answers to the country’s problems.
The absolute pits.

Marvellous to welcome @AnnelieseDodds to #Hitchin #Walsworth this morning. Great @NorthHertsLab team to greet her @Lizzi2611 @MartinStears @Ian_Albert. Even got a bit of sunshine to cheer our day

Except there is little to no evidence of voter fraud in the UK, and the few cases that have hit the news have tended to be postal voting.
So call it what it is: voter suppression. 🗳

Important point from Cllr. @SharonStevenage at the #Hertfordshire County Council Meeting on the staggering inequalities that have been highlighted by the pandemic.

Glad to see my colleague @SharonStevenage raising at the #Hertfordshire County Council Meeting that flooding hotspots remain untackled for years in this county. This is something I get regular feedback on from residents in the #Letchworth North Division.

After 100,000 have died, the reality is that we had a Prime Minister critically unsuited to a time of crisis. He is someone who may have got by in better times but not when serious and timely decisions had to be made & when administrative ability was required. I leave it there.

Strange how the Prime Minister argues at one and the same time that schools are safe and that they are vectors for transmission which causes the virus to spread between households.

Lasty @Ian_Albert puts forward @NorthHertsDC procurement policy with an increased focus on using local suppliers. Seconded by @MartinStears. This is approved and thanks is rightly given to the hard work of the council officers.

@NorthHertsDC Cabinet approve the contract extension of @hitchinmarkets. This is excellent news as we are safeguarding this community asset for the future.

Ministers are considering tearing up employment rights - leaving people worse off, losing out on holiday pay and working longer hours. This is wrong for workers, businesses and our country. Labour will force a vote in the House of Commons on Monday to protect these vital rights.
