Shop theft and anti-social behaviour are tearing at the fabric of our communities. This winter we are launching a crime-fighting blitz with police patrolling our high streets across the country - part of our wider plan to place 3,000 more police on the beat by the Spring.

Under the Tories, the welfare bill went up by £88 billion. They left children too poor to eat. They wrote young people off as too ill to work. That costs the country money and is bad for productivity. And it's a massive waste of potential. This is a moral mission. We need to

Definitely worth a read if you’re interested in the different policy choices this Govt is making to grow our economy and make us all better off 👇

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

I am ending the unrestricted use of taxis by asylum seekers for hospital appointments, authorising them only in the most exceptional circumstances.   I will continue to root out waste as we close every single asylum hotel. https://t.co/PGVdNaYeF6

This good news for workers, employers, TU Reps & lawyers! I still get cold sweats thinking about advising on the rightly scrapped stat disciplinary and grievance procedures. Not having statutory probation periods should be welcomed by everyone. Now let’s get the Bill passed!

NEW 🚨 | The Government will reduce the qualifying period for full protection from unfair dismissal from two years to six months. There’ll also be no statutory probation period. The Employment Rights Bill is essential to better quality, more secure jobs for millions of workers.

Labour's priority is to tackle the cost of living. That’s why we're making energy bills cheaper, cutting them by £150 on average from April. That’s the difference a Labour government makes.

Net migration is at its lowest level in half a decade and has fallen by more than two-thirds under this government. But we are going further - tackling the pressure that the pace and scale of migration has placed on local communities and ensuring those who come here contribute.

I know how much the NHS means to you, your friends and family. That is why I am protecting record investment to help bring waiting lists down further.

Today’s Budget is about taking fair choices. It will focus on your priorities: cutting the cost of living, cutting waiting lists and cutting the national debt. This Labour government will deliver strong foundations for our economy and secure our country’s future.
