A huge thank you to all the emergency workers, council officers & TRA who are on site ensuring residents are safe and supported. Please note that Ilderton Rd will be closed whilst extensive repairs are completed - expected to last at least a week.

This Labour government is investing £500million to open 1,000 Best Start Family Hubs across England. We’re giving parents the support they need to give children the best start in life.

Twenty years on from the 7 July terrorist attacks, London remains united in defiance of those who seek to divide us. I want to pay tribute to the extraordinary Londoners who showed such courage and compassion by running towards danger to help others.

Children growing up in our country deserve the best start in life. Building on the legacy of Sure Start, we’re opening Best Start Family Hubs in every local authority. That’s the difference Labour makes. https://t.co/izXBpc6Khf

No one who is going through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss should have to go back to work before they are ready. Labour is amending the Employment Rights Bill to allow parents to take time off work if they experience pregnancy loss at any stage. https://t.co/4tV58GWDLt

In 1937, London built 80,000 homes. Last year, it built less than half that. To find out why, I looked at two different planning applications for a four-storey block of flats from now and back then. 1937: 3 pages long. 2025: 1,250 pages long. https://t.co/dqtHhlDjuv

If you don’t want to see Tories elected then don’t vote Reform: it’s full of them.

Reasons to be cheerful.

Kemi is in a hole and still busy with the shovel.

We’re delivering on our promise to renters, who have been waiting far too long for change.   Our Renters’ Rights Bill will fix the broken rental system and deliver protections for 11 million private tenants. #RentersRights

Happy New Year! From all of us at Labour.

Before we ring in 2025, let’s look back at everything we achieved together to make London a fairer, safer and greener city in 2024. My ambition for 2025 remains the same: to see every Londoner thrive and succeed.

From all of us at the Labour Party, we wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Christmas.

To our military and veterans, the whole nation thanks you for the sacrifices you make to keep us safe. My government will serve you as you have served your country. I wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

It’ll shock people to know that Lib Dems claiming to be more popular than Christmas isn’t quite accurate! 1) Labour won Thamesmead (where a Lib Dem quit) 2) Lib Dems are now behind Greens in Southwark 3) Southwark Libs backed Tories in Govt & only ran our town hall with Tories!

As Director of Public Prosecutions, I saw the terrible effect of anti-social behaviour first hand - and fought for justice for victims. As Prime Minister, I am delivering on my promise to tackle it with new Respect Orders, so people face the consequences of their actions.

Tony Blair's tribute to John Prescott: Although we all knew that the end was approaching and was inevitable, I am devastated by John’s passing. He was one of the most talented people I ever encountered in politics; one of the most committed and loyal; and definitely the most

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.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of John Prescott. John was a true giant of the Labour movement. On behalf of the Labour Party, I send my condolences to Pauline and his family, to the city of Hull, and to all those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.
