I want to say a big THANK YOU to all those who helped me personally and the campaign in the last few months. It has been inspiring to be involved with not just Party members but those from the community who just wanted to see this seat stay Labour.It was great for me to have so many people involved in our campaign, giving up so much time and campaigning for a Labour win.
I am truly sorry that we were not able to keep the seat and to continue the hard work that Ann has done thoughout her time as MP here.
However we enter this next phase with renewed vigour, a great campaign team and lots of opportunities to campaign within the community.
I hope that you will continue to support your local Labour team and urge you to get in touch, and keep in touch with us over the next few important months
Jane Thomas
