Polls have now closed in the local elections.
We want to say a huge thanks to everyone who voted for us… some of you had never voted Labour before!
Also, a massive thank you to everyone that helped in our campaign to bring about real change in Driffield & Rural.
Solidarity.
Set your reminders to head to the polls with your ID tomorrow and vote Labour.
Send a message to the East Riding Tories, Independent Tories and the Lib Dems that enough is enough! #localelections#VoteLabour
All three Driffield Labour Candidates have signed up to the @UKDivest pledge:
“If elected, we will do all we can to ensure the council pension fund ends investment in fossil fuels within the next five years and invests in a just transition to a zero carbon economy.”
This is the Tory MP for East Yorkshire (a coastal constituency), Sir Greg Knight. He voted to have Raw, Untreated Sewerage & Effluence Dumped into Britain's Rivers and Waterways. #TorySewageParty
Er - this is a very big story.
A senior pollster has said that YouGov suppressed polling that was favourable for Labour during the 2017 election - after a senior Tory politician rang them and left them fearing for their jobs.
Why do Johnson, Sunak, Gove, Patel, etc need to raise NI ÂŁ12bn to supposedly fund the NHS when they promised a ÂŁ350m weekly Brexit bonus - ÂŁ18.2bn - to do that?
Because they lied about that too.
They shoot their hounds , they whip their hounds , they punch their horses . They kill people’s pets , damage their property , break the law and rip our diminishing wildlife to pieces for fun . But they won’t be doing it legally on @nationaltrust land anymore . Good riddance .
ALT As you know, a car exploded outside a hospital in Liverpool on the 14th, Remembrance Sunday, in a suspected terrorist incident. On the 15th Mr Nickerson tweeted a picture of the car ablaze, having photoshopped in a prominent Labour politician holding a poppy wreath. This is a revolting statement. Mr Nickerson has effectively accused this unrelated politician of sympathising with terrorism, making a punchline out of a genuine threat to innocent lives, while dragging an emblem of our Remembrance through the mud. In so doing, Mr Nickerson has breached articles 1 and 5 of ERYC’s Code of Conduct: he has failed to treat others with respect and he has brought his office into disrepute.
Absolutely disgusting and shameful tweet from Conservative councillor @CouncillorPaul_. Using the terrorist attack in Liverpool to have a pop at Corbyn is beyond vile. Resign.
I'd like to publicly apologise for the following statement.
"Half the Tory members opposite are crooks."
Mr Speaker "please withdraw".
"OK, half the Tory members aren't crooks."
I'd obviously underestimated the level of corruption.
Local Labour members leading the way and working with the community to get Alfred Bean Hospital designated as an Asset of Community Value to hinder any sale. Lovely Stuff! #driffield#nhs#community#SaveOurNHS#eastyorkshire
