- Eddie Izzard joins our campaign!
A truly amazing day today. Eddie Izzard, comedian, actor, marathon hero, Labour supporter and all round nice guy, joined us in Horsforth this morning to lend his support to our campaign. We held a hugely successful street stall on the high street with loads of local residents signing our petition to protect Surestart, before Eddie and I gave an interview to the press about our campaign here in Pudsey, the challenges we face and the vision of a fair future that we represent.
I'll post a video of the interview as soon as it becomes available, but until then, here is...

- Full steam ahead for the high speed rail link
Today I was invited to speak with Lord Adonis, the transport secretary, about the plans for investment in Leeds' transport infastructure. I'm sure you will have heard that the city will soon be getting a high speed rail link to London, which will make travel to the capital significantly faster and, in all likelihood, cheaper too, helping to bring the North and South closer together. What you might not have heard is that the government also intends to invest in a new trolley bus scheme for the city, which will make getting around much easier for commuters. I also visited...
- Unions Together video: Remembering Tory Failures - Fighting for the Future
We all remember the dark days under Thatcher. In fact, we remember them every day - because years later, so many hard-working British families are still trying to recover from the days of Tory control. We cannot afford to let history repeat itself, and to allow David Cameron to destroy the great progress we've made....
