I was surprised to see Chris Philp struggling with Rwanda & DRC being different countries as I asked his boss, the Home Secretary only last week about the risk of money sent to the Rwandan Government being diverted to a militia in DRC-Philp was sat next to him at the time

Waiting lists are just south of 8 million.

40,000 children wait 2 years for mental health support.

Rishi Sunak has no idea what that’s like.

And no plan to deal with it.

Only Labour has a plan to get people off waiting lists and back to work.

Steelmaking is the lifeblood of Welsh communities, the backbone of local economies & the foundation of our manufacturing capability.

The Welsh Secretary says no one at #PortTalbot will be left behind if there are redundancies. I will hold him to it.

The next Labour government will deliver the biggest overhaul to Britain’s railways in a generation to deliver for passengers, taxpayers and manufacturers.

This is the debate in the House of Lords on the extension of the ban on leasehold to include flats and introducing Commomhold. Very poor response from the Government which delivers nothing. ☹️

Committee Chair, Liam Byrne MP, lists the questions we still don't have answers from the Government on 👇

It was great to chat to Justin Madders MP at our responsible dog ownership event in Westminster yesterday 🐾

This Government has failed leaseholders, renters and mortgage holders says Angela Rayner 🌹 - that’s basically almost everyone in the country - no wonder they don’t want to call an election #pmqs

It seems the Deputy Prime Minister is unaware of what his own cabinet colleagues are saying #pmqs

And then the Deputy Prime Minister says she is failing to ask the questions that really matter to people- tell that to the millions of leaseholders and renters! #pmqs

Great questions from Angela Rayner 🌹 raising the massive chasm between Tory promises and actual legislation on private renters and leasehold #pmqs

Great to attend and see the depth of academic research making the case that improved workers rights can lead to improved productivity

It's now over five years since the Tories promised to scrap Section 21 no-fault evictions.

Private tenants will wait for years more if the government waters down its Renters Reform Bill today.

Labour will end Section 21 evictions immediately - no ifs, no buts.

Very sad news, Frank had a long and distinguished career in Parliament and was very kind and helpful to me as a new neighbouring MP. He was held in such high esteem by his constituents and his colleagues in Parliament & did important work at The Ellesmere Port CE College theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Five years since it was launched, the £3.6 billion Towns Fund has only spent about 1/6 of the money allocated to it and, in the words of the Public Accounts Committee, the Govt 'could not give give any compelling examples of what had been delivered so far'. Why such failure?

The Tories have left Britain in a cycle of low pay, low investment and low productivity. This is bad for workers, bad for businesses and bad for our economy.

The next The Labour Party Government will work with employers to deliver a New Deal that lifts the bar.

Great to see LabourList reporting 83% of managers say improving workers’ rights could positively impact workplace productivity.

My report, out last week, shows improving work is key to supporting longer working lives and tackling economic inactivity.
