The Nazis didn't just seize power - they were voted in

It's hard to imagine, but there was a time when Hitler was a name on a ballot in a democratic election

He was openly fascist & anti-semitic, but people still chose to vote for him

Here's how it all happened (thread 🧵)

The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) has sincerely thanked council workers responding to the devastation wrought across Wales by Storm Bert.

John Prescott is a giant of Labour history: from his role in the National Union of Seamen to being elected to Parliament for Hull East in 1970 & becoming our longest-serving Deputy Prime Minister.

A life spent standing up for working people. Thoughts with Pauline and his family.

Being aware of who’s responsible for managing flood risk and who to report flood incidents to will allow the situation to be assessed as swiftly as possible by the right authorities. Here’s a useful guide👇

If you’re unsure of the source, contact NRW 👉 0300 065 3000

I will be taking these issues up with NRW so please contact me on nick.thomassymonds.mp@parliament.uk. Thank you to all the emergency services & @torfaencouncil staff, some of whom I met this morning, who are out trying to drive back the flood waters and help people. (3/3)

I have contacted Natural Resources Wales (NRW) @NatResWales this morning and have spoken to @gwentpolice about the awful flooding around Torfaen. Please find below a chart about reporting flooding incidents including the contact number for NRW: 03000653000. (1/3)

John Prescott was one of the key architects of a Labour Government that transformed the lives of millions across the nation.

Watch @Keir_Starmer’s tribute to him in Parliament today.

I am deeply saddened by the news of John Prescott’s death.

John was not only a Labour legend but an inspiration to me and a dear friend. He will be greatly missed by so many.

My thoughts and prayers are with Pauline and the rest of his family. May he rest in peace.

This Armistice Day we remember and pay our respects to our Armed Forces community, past and present, who have sacrificed for our freedom.

We encourage everyone to join us at 11am today for a moment of silence to honour those who have fallen and their families.

The last dance…

A solemn privilege to lay wreaths today alongside @lynne_neagle & @PantegAnthony.

The people of Torfaen were, as every year, out in numbers to pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today.

During October, Estyn conducted their latest monitoring visit of Torfaen Council.

If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count. 

Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.

Great to be out with @TorfaenLabour in Wainfelin this afternoon. It was good to talk to residents and listen to their concerns about different issues. Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with us.

Football is important to people in Torfaen so it was great to be at @CwmbranCeltic to speak to the Chair Barrie.

A great local club with men’s and women’s teams @CwmbranCeltLFC & all ages from under-6s to veterans.

Thank you to all involved who put so much in to our community.
