SAND - Stop Akehurst in North Durham. Don’t vote for Luke the Nuke on July 4th #GE2024
Hello & welcome to SAND: Stop Akehurst North Durham. We’re a group of concerned residents, both in North Durham & the wider North East opposed to ‘parachute’ Luke Akehurst becoming the next MP for the constituency. The leaflet below explains some of the reasons why. Get on board.

Feel absolutely disgusted that our MP @lukeakehurst made his maiden speech about N.Durham needing help and actually visited a school, seeing how it was. Then voted AGAINST scrapping the 2 child benefit cap. Party comes first before us. Expected this and am still disappointed.
woo-hoo! luuke! 👋 babes...! the canary's @wordsbyHG is LIVE at the North Durham election count where parachuted Luke Akehurst is hoping to win - but not if @StopAkehurst can help it #ExitPoll2024 #IndependentsDay
Girls will be like ‘1 year with my absolute world xxx’ and this is the picture:
Just to explain, because those unfamiliar with the traditions of @DurhamGala may not understand. It’s #BigMeeting tradition for each banner to be paraded in its own community early morning, before being taken, with bands, to Durham for the ‘walk in’ to the field & speeches. (1/2)
The absolute highlight of an amazing first week as Labour MP for North Durham was today: invited by Sacriston Lodge of Durham Miners' Association to march with them and their beautiful banner.
Basically, what we advocate is a BDS campaign (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) against @lukeakehurst in North Durham. What he wants is to normalise his presence. We don’t recognise him as a legitimate representative of the community & we’d ask others to take that stand too ✊+🙏

Just say no. ✋

Aha! Such local knowledge. It can’t be true what they say about you, @lukeakehurst.
BBC got the caption wrong- it's North Durham not Durham North!

New Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has arrived at Parliament Buildings at Stormont. He says “stability and certainty” will be at the heart of what his government offers for Northern Ireland
Congratulations to @lukeakehurst, but just a bit of reality. Out of 73,243 eligible voters, only 16,562 voted for #ParachuteLuke. By our reckoning, that’s 22.6% of North Durham - not exactly a ringing endorsement. We’ll continue to hold him to account, don’t worry about that.

That’s it. Polls are closed. Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us, pushing our message as far as it will go. Hugely appreciated. Let’s hope it’s had an effect. If we can’t #StopAkehurst this time, we’ll be on his tail for however long it takes.

Please share this. Don’t vote for #ParachuteLuke

During the whole of this campaign, @lukeakehurst has been hiding, doing the bare minimum in #NorthDurham. We’ve been looking all over. @Bob_cart124 of @5Pillarsuk couldn’t find him either. How can you be an MP when you can’t even face the public?
Even if you’re the candidate in North Durham, but live in Oxford. 👀
Today is Polling Day! Wherever you are, Vote Labour!
It’s #GE2024 polling day. Don’t forget your id. In some ways, it quite simple: vote for someone who’ll take care of your community, rather than someone parachuted into North Durham with no previous knowledge or interest in the area. #ParachuteLuke Akehurst? No Thanks.

Just a reminder that @lukeakehurst, who wants to be an actual, real life MP in Parliament (representing the North Durham constituency) thinks that the United Nations (UN) are antisemitic. Take that in. Don’t vote for this absurd man. He’s a danger. Don’t vote for #ParachuteLuke.
