Tory housing policies are the reason why nearly 150,000 kids now live in temporary accommodation.
Gove has served in nearly every cabinet over the past 14 years.
Spare us the crocodile tears and give us a general election so a Labour government can start to clean up your mess.
🏠 There were 145,800 children in temporary accommodation in December 2023 – more than double the 70,090 in the first quarter of 2012.

The Tories are telling you that you've never had it so good.
Do you agree with them?

Action must be taken against unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges.
Leaseholders deserve to know why the Tories have abandoned their manifesto promise to restrict all ground rents to a peppercorn and why ministers so rashly raised expectations.

The UK’s alliance with the US is critical.
Cooperation isn’t a luxury but a necessity.
This is why I visited Washington DC this week 👇🏿

An asylum system – rebuilt. The criminal gangs – smashed. The exploitation of some of the most vulnerable people in the world – prevented.
That is the future you can choose. That is what my mission-driven Labour government will deliver.
No gimmicks. Just graft.

A really useful catch up with
@bentravisceo
and the team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, today.
We discussed the challenges they are facing, including elective surgery waiting lists and A&E waiting times, but also the huge improvements made including to bed capacity.

We must do more to protect our existing and future social housing stock.
A Labour government would reduce the overgenerous Right to Buy discounts introduced in 2012 and strengthen protections for newly-built social rented homes.
More than four in 10 council homes sold under Right to Buy now owned by private landlords

People have a right to expect security at our borders.
When I was the country’s chief prosecutor, we smashed terrorist gangs abroad.
If I’m privileged enough to become Prime Minister, we will smash the people-smuggling gangs.

Labour’s New Deal is a core part of our mission to grow Britain’s economy and raise living standards across the country.
Greater security, enhanced rights and a stronger collective voice, are key to inclusive growth.
Proud to address CMI’s Women’s Conference.

@joe_beale

Today we remember John Smith who died thirty years ago. I remember being with him the night before he died when he ended his speech with "all we ask is the opportunity to serve." John's whole life was a testimony to the nobility of public service.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…

An Israeli offensive in Rafah will be catastrophic. The world has warned against it.
I asked

He didn’t have an answer.

🏠 When we build social homes, we’re building better lives. We’re building stability. A brighter future.
But right now, we don’t have nearly enough of them.
We need to build good social homes again so a new generation can be proud to say: we are

All the Conservatives can offer our economy is more chaos and decline.
Labour will bring stability back and deliver on our plan to make working people better off.
