As a long-standing trade unionist I’m very proud to have @unisontheunion’s support for my campaign.
If selected as Stroud’s Labour candidate, I’m looking forward to working closely with UNISON & its members to bring about the political change that Stroud so desperately needs.

Thank you Cllr Nigel Prenter, who’s represented Rodborough on the District Council for a decade, for your support!
He says “Clare is capable, talented and experienced - exactly the kind of candidate we need to beat the Tories in Stroud.”

I’ve spent my life standing up for others, as a trade unionist, campaigner and champion for social justice.
Working together and making the positive case for Labour, we can turn Stroud red again.

Representing Stroud as its MEP was a great privilege, I’ve always loved campaigning here.
With encouragement from local members and trade unions, I’m delighted to have been shortlisted to be the next Labour candidate for Stroud.🌹

There cannot be one rule for Dominic Cummings and another for the British people.

A Covid-19 update from our MD, Matthew Golton.
Thank you to everybody for helping us keep our trains safe for key workers. From customers staying home, to our #RailwayFamily at stations, depots, onboard, and from home - you have all played a huge part in keeping GWR moving 💚

Here, @GWRHelp & @womensaid have started a scheme where women fleeing domestic abuse can get free train travel to escape to a refuge.

Today we launched our #railtorefuge scheme with @womensaid & @WelshWomensAid, helping those fleeing domestic abuse to reach a place of safety.
The scheme is intended to help remove one of the financial barriers in escaping domestic violence with free train travel to a refuge.

Harold Wilson on the EEC
'The lead Britain can give rests on the fact that we are a world-minded people. Britain will give a lead in political attitudes and political developments in Europe. We cannot do that by taking our bat home and sinking into an off-shore island mentality'

One day it will dawn on us who our real friends are
Brussels is putting on a festival of Britishness to say goodbye to the UK ahead of Brexit. The Grand Place is lit up in Union Jack colours while bands play British music. Even Manneken Pis is dressed up for the occasion.

As Farage makes his final speech in the European Parliament, a reminder of Blair's takedown from 2005:
'You sit with our country's flag. You do not represent our country's interest.' 🇬🇧

Tonight @TheProgressives showed @LabMEPs so much warmth, affection and love. This is a political family to be proud of. These are our proper socialist brothers and sisters - unlike supporters of Brexit claiming to be on the left. Thank you S&D 🌹🇪🇺

Clare is the best of us.
Her loss is thoroughly undeserved and I know the country - indeed the EU - will see the benefit of her considerable talent in another guise soon.

And it’s right to call for a General Election - we can’t have two Tory PMs without a mandate from the public - but if we don’t clarify our offer to the county then we’ll be slaughtered at the ballot box again.

The polls are now open! A vote for Labour is a vote for the many, not the few; a vote for a brighter future for our region, and a vote for hope and tolerance.
Vote Labour as we work to bring our country together.
#VoteLabour

Thanks to @ThangamMP, Labour MP for Bristol West, for your kind endorsement. Having a close working relationship with MPs across the region means we can be more effective in our support for workers and the environment. #VoteLabour as we work to bring our country together. 🌹
