    It’s been a lifelong dream to rep Labour on the ballot paper, a party I believe in so much 😍 We’ve lived through so many challenges. Austerity. Brexit. Partygate. Mini budget. But change will only happen if you vote for it. On the 4th July #VoteChange #VoteLabour πŸŒΉπŸ—³οΈ

    Lots of exciting things happening today! Can’t believe that as of midnight tonight, tampon tax will finally be axed. Feeling very lucky to have been a part of this with so many others including the amazing @paulasherriff πŸ’›

    Amazing to meet @RachelReevesMP today who was kind enough to share her advise on being a Labour candidate. She believes we can deliver the change this country desperately needs. So do I. You have the power to make that happen. It’s time to #VoteLabour 🌹πŸ’ͺ🏻

    Disappointed by so much of this. β€˜Lying’ is a word only ever used in relation to rape and it needs to stop. #BelieveWomen bbc.co.uk/news/uk-509452…

    Brilliant to speak to voters tonight in #Uxbridge on behalf of @DannyBeales πŸ’ͺ🏻 Lots of people keen to share their frustrations with rising prices, housing, hospitals not working and trains forever running late. It’s time for change. It’s time for Labour. #VoteLabour #GE2024

    I had an experience on the radio this morning. The presenter completely overlooked the ending of tampon tax and instead, aired a transphobic rant. I'm left feeling confused and angry. If you stand for equality, you do so for everyone. This is a win, for everybody. Period. <3

    "Now that we've left the EU… I will abolish the tampon tax" From January next year there will be no VAT on women's sanitary products, says Chancellor Rishi Sunak bbc.in/2IDEZbm #Budget2020

    Thank you for having me today @SkyNews to talk about the axing of #TamponTax! This marks the end of a symptom of sexism and the period taboo which impacts the education of so many girls. Feeling so emotional about this treasury announcement!

    We’re still waiting @BootsUK for you to speak with us and for you to please drop the price of period products in line with tampon tax ending, especially in the midst of the #CostOfLiving crisis #DropTamponTax
