Ofgem and our government allowed British Gas to increase prices so this profit is your money, going to shareholders. The cost of living crisis hits us all while companies make huge profits.
British Gas has profited almost £1 billion in the first half of 2023. @ameliaajenne reports. https://t.co/Y3W25on12f

Under the Tories, nearly 650,000 households struggling with mortgage costs are at risk of repossession. A Labour government, with @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister and @RachelReevesMP as Chancellor will deliver economic security. https://t.co/gujuRdPb2t

Labour's Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves said hundreds of thousands of families are 'grappling with the Tory mortgage bombshell" as budgets are squeezed by hikes in interest rates

Tories’ new asylum law is a con that makes things worse Won’t stop criminal gangs Promises to clear backlog but cancels decisions Claims to return everyone but has nowhere to send them Claims to be fair but locks up children But hey, they passed a law Only Labour has a plan

We won in Selby and Ainsty, the largest majority ever reversed at a by-election. But we have to earn every single vote if we're going to win a general election. Join Labour today and help us to carry on making history. ⬇️

In the South East, Labour’s plan will create 27,000 jobs, make over 2 million homes warm and build over 1,000 local power projects. If the Tories hadn’t crashed our economy Labour could deliver this plan and make Britain a clean energy superpower much quicker.
Labour's Green Prosperity Plan is about lower bills, good jobs, energy security, and climate leadership. Read about what our plan means for every nation and region of the United Kingdom 👇 https://t.co/zE3gvviKuO

Labour continues to lead in the Blue Wall including Tunbridge Wells. A Lib Dem vote will be a wasted vote at the next General Election.

Rishi Sunak doesn’t want to answer questions because on his watch NHS waiting lists have grown from 7.2 million to a record high 7.5 million. https://t.co/A69g1oJl7R #PMQs

This looks like a nice design for a new hospital but if you read the NAO report it says that most of the 32 ‘new hospitals’ are actually new buildings or partial refurbishments at existing hospitals. The longer the Tories are in government the longer patients will wait.

Delays mean the New Hospital Programme will deliver 32 new hospitals by 2030, not 40 as the government announced in 2020. The other 8 will follow after 2030. Report director @TSJPhillips discusses our key findings on this programme 👇 Read the report: https://t.co/4DoKsjg6cJ

Damning National Audit Office report into the Government’s hospital building programme. The Conservatives have overpromised, under-delivered, and they've been found out. Meanwhile patients are being treated in outdated, crumbling hospitals. https://t.co/OSMPDsFQpa

The National Audit Office has found the project is behind schedule and not delivering value for money.

The Tory mortgage bombshell strikes again. First-time buyers now likely to need a £102k deposit - three times more than a year ago. This government is wrecking people's hopes for a secure future. Only Labour’s plans will get more people on the ladder. https://t.co/NsUzxGwEy2

Labour’s analysis of government figures found rocketing interest rates are now likely to require three times the £30,000 figure people had to save just a year ago

The Tories keep saying that ending tax breaks for private schools will force lots of those children into public schools. The Institute for Fiscal Studies research says that’s not the case. Labour’s plan is the right choice to drive up standards for all our children.
We will drive up standards for all our children, by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy. That is the choice Labour will make. Today @TheIFS report confirms its fiscal basis. Excellence must be for everyone.

Ending tax breaks for private schools is the route to opportunity for all Britain’s children.
Pleasure to talk to the Telegraph about Labour’s priorities for our schools. Labour’s mission is to ensure background is no barrier to opportunity. We’ll invest in rising standards in all our schools by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy. https://t.co/eyA1BIqOFK
