So sad to hear of the passing of the incredible Rob Burrow.

Rob Burrow was an all time great as a player and he was beyond an inspiration in the amazing work he then did raising awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease community.

The state of the art Rob Burrow Centre

Ending tax breaks for private schools is the right thing to do.

It would raise over £1.5 BILLION

It would raise funds to recruit 6,500 more teachers.

It will help the 93% of kids who use state schools.

No wonder the Tory press is up in arms over Labour's plans to do it!

Good to be out with the team in Leeds East’s twinned constituency of Selby with Labour candidate Keir Mather MP.

Another campaign session I've done where people could not be clearer: they can’t wait to vote the Tories out of No 10 next month!

Due to constituency boundary changes, in the General Election Leeds East constituency will include Swillington.

I’m proud to be your Labour candidate.

Swillington has the chance to vote for a fresh start after 14 years of a Conservative MP and a failing Conservative government.

Just 33 days until we can get rid of this awful Government.

Get rid of them for all the kids they've forced into poverty.

For the disabled people they've made suffer.

For their damage to our public services.

For the millions having to use food banks. And for so many others.

Your Government left people having to turn off their heating - while you let energy companies make mega-profits.

Great British Energy will help lower your bills and deliver clean energy.

And it'll be funded by a windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies.

Watch Ed Miliband explain how it'll work

Busy day preparing for the General Election and going through my files I came across this with one of my heroes, the legend that is Dennis Skinner!

In the week since the Election was called, it’s been great to have been out in our community, talking with local residents about my work as the Labour MP for Leeds East since 2015 and the chance people have on Thursday 4th July to kick out the Tories after 14 years of failure.

Great chatting with local residents at Crossgates train station this evening about why they want an end to this Tory Government.

Love being out and about in our area!

From Thursday, Parliament will be dissolved and so there will be no MPs until after the General Election on 4th July.

I am Labour’s candidate for Leeds East, which I am pleased from this election will include Garforth and Swillington.

The Tories have brought the NHS to its knees.

A Labour Government will tackle NHS waiting lists.

It was done before and we can do it again!
