Whoever wins must put people first and implement the hopes and aspirations of the July martyrs.
Spoke to @elliecolton_ on @BBCSheffield this morning about widespread missing post in Nether Edge & Sharrow. Some residents waited 4 weeks - missing hospital appointments and important mail. This isn’t acceptable. Working with our MP @Abtisam_Mohamed to demand answers from Royal Mail. Residents deserve better.
This Labour government is backing Northern Powerhouse Rail - giving the North the transport links it deserves.

Working today on a very busy shift at St George's A&E. This Christmas and New Years there will be many NHS staff, doctors, nurses, porters and others, working tirelessly to save lives.
We did it. We have just introduced the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.
Today our plans passed through parliament, and will soon become law.
This is a major victory for working people in every part of the country.

People with disabilities drive progress that benefits us all. Yet too often, they are denied a seat at the decision-making table.
When inclusion is real, everyone benefits. Let's commit to working side-by-side with people with disabilities to build more resilient societies.
It is totally unacceptable that women don’t feel safe going about their lives.
I’m determined to halve violence against women and girls.
We are investing in ways to improve how the police respond to these horrific crimes.
