If you’re going to come for my ministerial colleague Al Carns, make sure you’ve done your homework.

Statement from @LGA_Labour Leader @bevcraig on today’s Local Government Finance Statement. 'A symbolic moment for local government, one when we can firmly say austerity is over.'

Why not make everyone eligible for a flu Jab and push that msg - obvs much better in all sorts of ways than a possibly avoidable hospital admission @wesstreeting @NHSEngland

So much negativity…come on everyone it’s Xmas. Be kind and balanced before judging. This is a new initiative and I am grateful to the team for pulling this together, funding it and delivering the plan to support those that need it…this is a good thing 🫡🥳. Around 30,000

70 quid a week to feed and clothe that 'extra' kid. Thats hardly living it up, @KemiBadenoch has no clue. Benefits are a lifeline not a lifestyle. https://t.co/PIJEFCcACu

“The picture they are painting is completely wrong. Untrue. They are peddling lies.” Magisterial dismantling by Gordon Brown of “Benefits Street” bollocks from Badenoch and Britain’s reactionary Right-whiners after 500k kids were lifted out of poverty.

Proud to close yesterday’s debate on the budget. It’s a budget which makes fair choices for a fairer Britian. Where the cost of living falls. Where real wages rise. And where our towns and cities finally get the transport connectivity they’ve long deserved.

The #TwoChildLimit is gone. 450,000 children will be lifted out of poverty This was a Tory policy Labour opposed and said we'd reverse at the first opportunity. I am glad that is now thanks to @RachelReevesMP sound stewardship of our economy One of many #Budget2025 highlights

This is the difference with Labour.

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children. https://t.co/xOTRFpKUhU

In my first surgery as an MP, I met a constituent who received an 'unspent' conviction for a one-off crime committed 34 years ago as a juvenile. Despite turning his life around, his unspent conviction continues to cause him hardship & insecurity. I asked Ministers if they will

The heroic actions of so many people during the rampage on the train restores our faith in how people can be so brave and so kind. Along with the public the actions of the guards and driver saved lives. Thank you

Upto £15,000,000,000 blown on asylum hotels. No wonder one of the owners is now in the Sunday Times rich list. Add it to the billions embezzled, stolen and bunged to Tory donors and supporters for failing to provide PPE. @KemiBadenoch @MelJStride @RobertJenrick @Conservatives

Today marks 80 years since VJ Day, when World War II finally came to an end. We remember the bravery and selfless sacrifice of those who served in the Far East. Their service will always be honoured and their memory cherished. We will forever be in their debt. 🇬🇧

In commemorating the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, the Labour Party expresses our deep gratitude for the sacrifice made by our Armed Forces during World War II.

For our tomorrow, they gave their today. We will always honour and remember them. #VJDay80

A full theatre for #Nye at the @NationalTheatre - thank you all for an amazing show and thank you #Nye for the @NHS @michaelsheen 💙

Last year, water pollution incidents at Thames Water increased by 40%. Here the bosses of Thames Water justify a bonus of 154%! From this year, the Labour Government is banning bonuses while water bosses fail.
