The Conservatives sat back and allowed homelessness to double. Labour will not stand idly by and allow that to continue. We’re investing £1 billion to give homeless people security and get back on track to end homelessness for good. https://t.co/v4pVGtwtrX

Labour announced an £84 million cash injection to prevent homelessness and support homeless families over the winter on World Homeless Day.

Great to visit Neighbourcare this morning - bringing people together with affordable meals, friendly activities & a lift to the hub for those who’d otherwise miss out. A brilliant way to tackle loneliness & build community. I also spoke with residents about local services,

The Conservative plan to abolish the Climate Change Act is just bizarre. Since it was introduced by Labour in 2008, both Conservative and Labour governments have built on its foundations, and the UK has already cut its carbon emissions in half as a result. (1/3)
For ~20yrs the Climate Change Act has powered clean growth & climate action Proud to co-ordinate 124 MPs & Peers to urge the Conservatives, don’t scrap it Turning climate leadership into a political football puts our economy, security & children’s future at risk #ClimateAction

This is a horrendous attack on the Jewish community in Manchester There is no place for violence like this in Manchester or anywhere in the UK Thoughts are with the victims & their families, the Jewish community in Manchester and beyond https://t.co/JPgFpCgWRt
Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day. We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe. We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻

The Climate Change Act has been the heart of the cross-party consensus on tackling climate change for nearly two decades - this is a sad day for the Conservatives. Scrapping the Climate Change Act while claiming to believe in climate change is like admitting gravity exists,
