🎉 Lucy Powell is on track to become Labour’s new deputy leader as voting wraps up! A recent Survation poll shows Powell maintaining a strong lead over her rival, Bridget Phillipson, even though Phillipson has narrowed the gap. 🗳️
In an exciting message to her supporters, Powell expressed a desire to shake things up. She emphasised the need for Labour to reclaim its voice and steer away from simply echoing others’ agendas. “We’ve been losing support across the board,” she noted, making a case for more active and original engagement. 📢
Powell has criticised the existing “command and control” approach, calling for a break from blindly following orders and instead tackling the “politics of hate and division” head-on. With 57% of Labour members behind her, according to the poll, it seems she resonates with those who feel the party needs fresh direction. 🚀
Bridget Phillipson, meanwhile, thanked her supporters and celebrated her campaign’s focus on uniting the party and pushing for change. She called on all to rally behind Labour’s efforts to improve life chances for working people and secure a second term. 🙌
Join the conversation as we await the official announcement of the election results on Saturday. Will Powell’s vision for change carry her to victory, or will Phillipson pull off an upset? Stay tuned! 🌟
