This is very good news. Much more work to be done and an inquiry cannot possibly right the injustice of Orgreave. But it can make sure that the truth is known and that this can never, ever, happen again.

Interesting article by Adam Hirst for @thefabians. Lab needs to be the party of wage earners, not asset holders. Totally agree. These graphs show heโ€™s right: wages flatline; assets increase. Wage earners of the world unite!

How can it be that I spend two hours on the EMR from Sheffield to St Pancras without the merest hint of WiFi but I can send this from somewhere half a mile below Euston? #levellingup.

Casey is right. It is ridiculous and dangerous to let drivers shop around for lower safeguarding standards. We need one national standard, protecting passengers and drivers who want to do the right thing.

Very sad to hear of Uri Rennieโ€™s passing. Watched him ref as I was growing up - a trailblazer. Heโ€™ll be massively missed by all his many friends across Sheffield and particularly in @SheffLabour. RIP Uri.

Lesson 5: there are many more lessons to learn! But as @MayorRos said, we need to โ€œlook and see what people are sayingโ€ because they are speaking very clearly.

Lesson 4: We must understand the voters @UKLabour has lost to Reform. One third of voters born in 1980 are poorer than their parents - the system is broken for too many people. If we canโ€™t deliver, these people will rightly look to others who claim they can.

Lesson 3: We should be pleased that 10,000 new voters have joined the democratic process. Now we must show them that @UKLabour can shorten GP waiting times, lower prices, raise wages and, yes, stop the small boats which bring so much misery to those in them.

Lesson 2: The popularity of reopening Doncaster-Sheffield airport shows that most Reform voters agree with Labour voters. They donโ€™t want a Musk-style destruction of govt (as Farage wants). They want govt to get on with things. So do we!.

Reform attracted 10,000 new voters. 4,000 came from Lab. 5,000 came from โ€˜British Democratsโ€™. Lesson 1: left wing people describing all these Reformers as fascists are wrong. A few are; most are decent and just want a better life for their family. So do we!.

Delighted that @MayorRos is still Mayor Ros! Very proud that @SheffLabour played our part. Hope the councillors get over the line this afternoon. However, the results in Don and across the country pose questions for Labour. As Ros said, we need to listen.
