Speaking to people in Stafford today, it was clear: they want change. They want to stop the Tory chaos which is costing working people through higher taxes, soaring mortgages and crippling energy bills. Only Labour will deliver economic security. Vote for it on Thursday 4 July.

It’s 5 years today since one of the best people I know had a lung transplant. The lease of life it’s given him, and his amazing family, is unbelievable. Please take 2 mins today to sign up to be an organ donor, and let your family know your decision @NHSOrganDonor @NHSBT

. @UKLabour ’s message to @David_Cameron and @RishiSunak ’s @Conservatives is clear. Publish the legal advice now. If it says there is a clear risk that UK arms might be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law, it's time to suspend the sale of those arms.

Yet Tory govt have responded to this unprecedented crisis by pushing more cuts through LG budgets from 25/26 onwards. I look round and I don’t even know what they’re trying to achieve. Is it just scorched earth at this point? General election now 🌹🌹🌹

I know I say this a lot, but this is not a serious government. We’re in a country where nothing works, and this man has decided to invent a ‘war on drivers’ to fight. We need a general election now.

We are a nation of drivers. Most of us use a car every day and, for many, life would be difficult without their car. But too often, drivers feel under attack. That changes today with a long-term plan to improve drivers' experience on the road. Here’s how 👇🧵

Shocked, I tell you, shocked that a plan announced with no engagement with the sector, and without putting the proper support in place to implement it, is failing. This is a hugely important piece of infrastructure for Uk parents. It’s not good enough to work in this way.

Hunt’s comment is so weird. His government passed a Cross party amendment which stated that childcare should be classed as infrastructure, like roads or schools are. We know that childcare is essential to the wellbeing families, as well as local and national economies.

The Chancellor thinks knowing how many nurseries and childcare places there are would be like “Stalinist Russia”. Does he think Ofsted should stop counting to hide the fact that childcare provider numbers have fallen 3,316 in a year?

Our schools are already in crisis, having to become the safety net in the last 13 years as local govt funding has been slashed. They’re now also in a recruitment crisis, which will take years to rectify. The next govt has huge challenges to address - everything feels broken.

This is really interesting. I was at a presentation recently which said Domestic Abuse had dropped by 12% in my area over the last year, but it didn’t make sense to me at all as there was no evidence as to why that might have happened…. Now wondering if it’s linked to this.
@CommissionerDA

I believe the 10% drop in police-recorded #DomesticAbuse published last week is artificial, due to new rules allowing police to count fewer crimes. Administrative ease should not be prioritised at the expense of domestic abuse victims. This is simply not good enough. 1/2

I made this part of my plan for stafford because in the last year along stafford has lost over 200 nursery places for children. Members have told me affordability of childcare is affecting their decision on whether they can even have children. It doesn’t have to be this way.
