Single biggest thing government could do to reduce number of economically inactive people who are long-term sick is sort out our mental health services.

Two million people in England are on NHS mental health waiting lists. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

The sick leave culture trope is popular, scroungers etc but appears to have little basis in reality compared to every other European country…. #evidencematters (chart from Resolution Foundation )

A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs.

Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need.

- the Bakerloop & BLE
- a plan to end rough sleeping
- action on air quality
And a vote to stop the Tories!

This evening ⬇️ Pleased to have contributed an article to this call to action, with a focus on infrastructure investment needed to support new homes.

Spoiler: lots on need for Bakerloo Line extension & our plans for the Old Kent Road!

This is why Sadiq Khan is mayor London needs - we should eradicate hunger and not need food banks, but baby banks helping families with costs of kids and to reuse and recycle should be the norm because kids go through so much! Proud labour leading this - amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Brilliant to hear Sadiq Khan pledge to end rough sleeping in London by 2030. London made huge progress on this under the last Labour government & we have the chance to do it again with a Labour Mayor & a future Labour government.
