An honour to address @The_TUC. I've learned so much from my community, it shaped me. The values that underpin our movement motivate me every day. It's time we unite, put them into practice and build a modern Britain that works for working people.

So you're asking for powers to make kids walk five miles to school as we head into winter? This week we’ve seen a Reform MP make blatantly racist comments, now we’ve got a Reform council taking our children back to the Victorian era. My response here 👇 https://t.co/mDGtiWVBdv

I’m calling on Bridget Phillipson to give local councils like WCC the power to adapt statutory walking distances for Home to School Transport. Costs have rocketed from £17.9m in 2018 to £50m. We’ve got to make this sustainable while supporting families. Read my letter in full.

The Education Secretary has set out plans to permanently remove RAAC from every school and college in England. We're giving every child the safe, high-quality classroom they deserve to achieve and thrive as part of our Plan for Change.

The Tories left our schools unsafe and crumbling. We've taken action to remove RAAC from classrooms, with 62 schools and colleges already fixed. Today, we've set out the timeline for complete removal. Promise made, promise delivered.

Labour will never shirk the tough decisions needed for national renewal. We'll leave behind RAAC-free schools. Never let the Tories forget their legacy in education 👇

The concrete crisis shows the utter shambles of this government. Ministers are leaving children in chaos and running from responsibility. The Conservatives have failed our children.

The Tories left our schools to RAAC and ruin. The next generation will inherit RAAC-free schools from Labour, with rebuilds done in under a decade and all other schools cleared of RAAC by the end of this Parliament. That's national renewal. https://t.co/NwIAJKm4nx

The Tories' policy of an endless cycle of resits consigned young people to the scrapheap. White working class pupils are twice as likely to need to resit. Labour is putting better support in place to give them the vital English & maths skills they need. https://t.co/T5FHF0w9zi

The Tories want you to believe that to encourage young people to take up an apprenticeship, you have to kick universities. You don’t. You can invest more and boost further education without talking down young people’s aspirations to go to university. That’s Labour’s approach.

I’ll remain a strong voice for our movement in Cabinet, working to deliver a crucial second term. Honoured to continue in the best job in a Labour government: Education Secretary. I'll be working day in, day out to give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Congratulations to @LucyMPowell on her win, wishing her the very best as deputy leader. Disappointed to have lost, but proud of the campaign we ran. Thanks to everyone who backed me along the way, it's been a privilege to meet so many of you and I'm so grateful for your support.

Best Start is more than the adverts you'll see on TV, it's physical hubs in all of our communities – thanks to Labour. From Derbyshire to Darlington, Staffordshire to Swindon, Labour is building back the family services the Tories devastated. https://t.co/S6fB2PgvvR

To the opposition politicians taking umbrage with me saying this: Let me be clear, I don't think parents' pockets should be empty once they’ve fed their kids. Many working parents need this support. If other parties disagree with that then they need to take a look at

Parents shouldn’t be out of pocket by setting their children up for school. That’s why we are rolling out free breakfast clubs and from next September, schools will be required to limit branded items of uniform. Saving families £500 and giving kids the best start in life.

As I said in the chamber on Monday, our breakfast clubs are giving children a great start to the day. Now, we’re partnering with British businesses –Morrisons, Sainsburys, Weetabix and Magic Breakfast –so schools with one of the free clubs can get nutritious food for less (1/2)
