He joked on Twitter that helping a constituent mow her lawn was "grassroots strategy in action".
Bentley councillor and Cabinet Member with Portfolio for Housing at Doncaster Council Jane Nightingale posted the photo and said: "Bit more of a close up to show he really did mow the lawn."

To add to the embarrassment, the angry woman said she was not a Labour voter but if it had been his brother, David, it would have been ‘absolutely fine’.
But the new picture suggests he may have been able to help the constituent change her mind.
