Finally, the Chancellor adopts Labour’s plan for a windfall tax on oil & gas profits to lower bills. Today's statement is the Tory government all over: out of touch with no plan for the future. There's no doubt about who is winning the battle of ideas in Britain – it is Labour.

Will MPs & members come out in solidarity with CLP Secretaries after our private group has been infiltrated by someone who thinks it’s appropriate to publically share conversations. We are volunteers and p*ssing off 400+ secretaries really isn’t a wise move. #IStandWithCLPSecs

It’s clear that areas with a Tory PCC have real issues with rural crime. That’s why @UKLabour has a dedicated rural crime strategy: 🚓 More Rural Patrols 🚜 Clamp down on Agricultural Crime 🐏Tackle Livestock Worrying Hertfordshire needs a Labour PCC. #saferwithplater

There’s a choice today for Stevenage MP @SMcPartland . He can choose to ban fracking like his party promised , or do another Tory u-turn. Fracking is unwanted, unneeded and will cause harm to rural areas across our country. We must ban fracking, no ifs or buts.

❌ RMT isn't affiliated to @UKLabour ❌You have the power to give rail workers a fair pay deal (and stop the strikes!) but you failed ❌ In 2022 working families suffered the highest rail fare hikes for 9 years Same old, from an out-of-touch Tory. #Stevenage deserves better.

I had a blast proposing @Labour4PR motion at @StevenageLabour this evening and it was great that it passed! It’s not our conference motion, but we’re taking an incredible motion on Disabled Rights from Alistair that it was a no-brainer to support. A very good evening indeed! 🌹

I'm proud to have signed up as a @JewishLabour ally today. Anti-semitism is a scourge that we must all work together to rid politics of. JLM does amazing work, and their training & support is second to none. I couldn't be more happy to support them.

It’s great to see @Keir_Starmer at my alma mater @guildhallschool today backing our arts & cultural sector. The opportunities they gave me built my confidence and without them I wouldn’t be a councillor or the @UKLabour @HertsPCC candidate. We must support them. 🎷🎷🎷

When I was 11, I hopped on a train to London, ending at the Guildhall School of Music. For a working class kid like me, it was transformational. Every child should have access to the subjects they love. Great to set out our plan to make that happen, back at @guildhallschool .

So when the Dagenham Women went on strike for equal pay in 1968, they weren’t strivers? Train Drivers are responsible for the safety of hundreds of millions of people. Workers with that responsibility must be paid properly and must be safe in their cabs. Their safety is ours.

Sad but unsurprising that Wes supports disruption and misery for commuters who want to get on with their lives. He backs strikers, we back strivers.

Overheard on my yearly (almost) NYE gig in a v. Tory Constituency (60%+ in 2019) 'I can't vote for Boris & the Tories anymore, there's just been too much. Cummings, that [Hancock's] affair & all the parties it's just ruined my confidence in them. They've got no authority'
