Holborn & St Pancras backed Sagal and voted for Labour's message of hope. This is a fantastic victory that gives us real momentum to build on.

The best news to wake up to ahead of the morning round.

Congratulations to Sagal, who has led such a positive campaign. Thank you to the brilliant Labour team and members who made this win possible.

Britain is backing Labour’s message of hope.

Getting the vote out for Sagal in Holborn & St Pancras. Even saw one of the local landmarks, though a bit early for a drink. Vote Labour! 🍍🌹

There's more whitewash in this report than at your local B&Q.

Nothing in it exonerates Reform UK or Nigel Farage. They're not above the rules.

The sleaze, scandal & police investigations aren’t going away. It’s time to stop the cover ups and come clean to the public.

Had a great afternoon getting Sagal's message of hope out across Holborn & St Pancras. For an MP that is one of Camden's own, who will hold Thames Water to account, open up opportunities for local children and work to end rough sleeping, back Sagal and vote Labour tomorrow.

When vested interests cough up the cash, Reform change their policy. They will sell your family's security for their own advantage.

If you haven't read Badenoch's latest pamphlet, I don't blame you, but in it she launches an attack on the minimum wage. When so many people across Britain are struggling with the cost of living, it’s so tin eared. Same old Tories. They always want working people worse off.

Labour has started the work of turning this country round, choosing again and again to invest in a better tomorrow. Changing Britain for the better.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:16 PM

Lovely afternoon on the doorstep in Holborn & St Pancras, with Camden’s own Sagal Abdi-Wali – she’s led a such a positive and progressive campaign. Sagal’s story shows our country at its best. Choose hope, back Sagal and vote Labour on 8 October.

The Tories’ position on pensions is falling apart.

A Shadow Cabinet member wants to replace the State Pension as we know it with something that offers 'dramatically less'.

Only Labour will protect a rising state pension while building a new National Care Service.

150,000 children have been lifted out of poverty since we scrapped the two child limit.

150,000 lives made better.
150,000 brighter futures.

That’s the difference a Labour government makes. That’s hope again.

We should come down like a ton of bricks on those who are violent against women – whatever their background.

Yet today, you only ever hear women's safety mentioned by right-wing politicians when they are discussing immigration.

It's weaponisation.

Labour is giving families breathing space – opening new school-based nurseries, offering parents 30 hours of government-funded childcare and bringing back the best of Sure Start with Best Start Family Hubs.

Reform UK are closing nurseries.

Reform UK has promised cuts of £100 billion, but provided no detail on where they'll be made.

Now, Reform UK's favourite think tank has set out a blueprint – including getting rid of the state pension.

Reform UK would take us in a dangerous direction.

Reform UK in Sunderland have pulled support for Show Racism the Red Card, calling them ‘a politically-charged organisation with an agenda’. That agenda is driving racism out of football.

Sunderland stands against racism, even if our Reform council doesn't.

Hatred towards women, discrimination against women, worse treatment for us — these belong to yesterday’s world, not tomorrow’s. That’s why we’re bringing together ministers and leaders from across society to make misogyny a thing of the past.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.socialSep 21, 2026, 11:49 AM

I've always cared about improving the lot of working class people – that's my community, that's my heritage, that's why I'm Labour. This government will always seek to unify and drive forward progress. Reform will always seek to divide, to blame and drag us backwards.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 7:27 PM

We should be proud that being British is something that unites people regardless of their skin colour. If today’s parties of the right want a backward-facing, exclusionary patriotism – Labour will fight against them, and we’ll win.
