Delighted to meet with @olivercoppard, Labour’s candidate for South Yorkshire Mayor, this morning. I know Oliver will continue @DanJarvisMP's important work, and deliver security, prosperity and respect for the people of South Yorkshire.

Has to be said that this has been one of the most comradely election contests. Yorkshire’s friendly reputation has been proven by all four candidates these past two months.
Thanks so much @JaynePDunn. Anyone who knows you knows how much you care about the future of our region. I’m really looking forward to working with you to make sure South Yorkshire gets the benefit of your passion and ideas.
