    We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to show the country what Ipswich is made of. I am proud of Ipswich, and that is why I am firing the starting gun on our City of Culture bid. Join me and help build a new future for our town!

    Today the far right came to Ipswich. They sought to sow division and spread their hate. Instead, people in the town united, stood up to their bigotry and said: 'this is not who we are'. Ipswich is a welcoming, diverse and inclusive town and hope will always defeat hatred.

    The dust has barely settled on a hard-fought election campaign, but we're hitting the ground running. People desperately need change, so there is no time to waste. It's a privilege to serve the people of Ipswich and I've got to work immediately. In 'the office' and ready to go.

    You've been the best Spurs manager of my lifetime and built a team we were so, so proud of. You gave me some of the best moments of my life. Thank you for everything you have done for our football club. Feeling utterly devastated that you've gone 💔 #Pochettino #COYS

    A true leader would be out in front of No. 10, today, addressing the nation, providing reassurance and clarity. They wouldn't be AWOL while the economy goes into freefall. Then again, no responsible Prime Minister would've signed off such a reckless budget to start with.

    There is much to be proud of in Ipswich, but it is a priority of mine to revive our town centre, and I used my first #PMQs to raise this. I was delighted that the Prime Minister recommitted to reforming business rates (and that he welcomed #ITFC's return to the Premier League!).

    🌹 @SadiqKhan knows how to win an election, so I was delighted to welcome him to Ipswich. But to deliver change, you need to vote for it. Don't risk waking up to another 5 years of Tom Hunt and the Tories. Back Jack. Vote for Change. Vote for Labour.

    🌹 A General Election has just been called - it's time for change. #BackJack

    Insulting nonsense. Junior doctors undergo an average of 10 years training after 5 years at medical school. They treat people and save lives every single day, including in Ipswich Hospital. They are the backbone of our NHS. Thank you to each and every one of them.
    'Doctors in training as I prefer to call them walked out of our negotiations' Health Secretary Victoria Atkins spoke to #BBCBreakfast about the 72 hour junior doctors strike in England bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…

    Readers added context
    Junior Doctor is a title given to fully qualified Doctors who are either in a 2 year clinical foundation, or have not yet specialised and so are supervised by Consultants in their area of practice. They make up 48% of Doctors in England and could have a decade of experience. fullfact.org/health/what-ju…

    I'm delighted to announce that I'm putting myself forward to be @IpswichLabour's candidate at the next General Election. #Ipswich has so much to be proud of. It needs an MP who wants to see it succeed and will provide leadership, unity and ambition. 👉 jackabbott.org
