Today I met Dave, who drove the first train out of Waterloo under the Government’s public ownership programme. We said we’d bring the train operating companies into public ownership. We’re delivering. Next stop: set up Great British Railways to better manage track and train!

This Sunday, we will continue to take back our trains, by bringing @greateranglia into public ownership. I've written for @EDP24 about how Great British Railways will deliver a better service for passengers and value for money for taxpayers.🇬🇧🚆 https://t.co/IVmduvdYJY

The transport secretary says the move will bring value for money, but she did not promise lower fares.

The @SMMT says last month was "the best month on record" for electric vehicle sales. More than 20,000 drivers have taken advantage of our Electric Car Grant, giving you up to £3,750 off a new EV. It's never been cheaper or easier to own an EV.⚡🚗 https://t.co/QK41iWrBrc

The Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders attributed the rise to the government's Electric Car Grant scheme, along with factors such as an "ever-increasing choice of models".

Great to get my hands on the new ‘Swindon Make It Here’ badges! Loving this new branding for the town as we look to build on our manufacturing past and look to the future with the new investment we are getting in the advanced manufacturing sector!

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

Under this Labour government our railways will be run by the people, for the people. With Great British Railways, we will rebuild a public service where reliability is the watchword and pride restored.🌹🚂🇬🇧

A school library in every primary school. A European Youth Experience Scheme. Guaranteed work for all young people. These are things that only a Labour Chancellor would deliver. Could not be prouder of my sister.

Access to our colleges and universities shouldn’t just be for a wealthy few. That’s why I’m bringing back maintenance grants for those who need them most. Labour is ambitious for all our young people, no matter their background. I’m putting our values into action.

Fantastic to start my #Lab25 with @MetroMayorSteve, taking a journey on a Rapid Transit Vehicle to the new @Everton stadium. This is the power of Labour Mayors working hand in hand with a Labour Government - backed up by record investment into local transport.

We're taking back our railways! At Labour conference, I'll set out how we'll build a railway fit for Britain’s future. We will sweep away decades of frustration, waste and bureaucracy to deliver a #GreatBritishRailway people can rely on. 🇬🇧🚆🌹 https://t.co/U9xmFhxfsk

International rail services are fantastic for leisure travel, but they also drive jobs, investment and opportunity in places like Ashford, Ebsfleet and Stratford. That's why this government welcomes firms who want to get these stations back into use.🚆 https://t.co/LNBNBbxXtG

Ashford and Ebbsfleet have been shut to cross-Channel services since 2020, with Eurostar calling them unviable
