Shocking Tory failure on law & order in new figures out today

▪️37% increase in shoplifting to record high
▪️7% increase in knife crime - now up 81% in 8yrs
▪️13% increase in robbery
▪️90% of crimes go unsolved

Under the Tories, more criminals get off, more victims let down.

One week to go until the Police & Crime Commissioner election.

A clear choice: more Conservative chaos or serious leadership, real change and safer streets with a Labour & Co-operative PCC.

Labour believes security is the bedrock of all other opportunities.

That’s why we’ve made it one of our missions for Government to make Britain’s streets safe.

We’ll put 13,000 neighbourhood officers & PCSOs back on the beat in our communities.

Very sad news. Frank served the people of Birkenhead for 40 years. Everyone in the Wirral will be thinking of his life and contribution. He was indeed unique and a very special person to work with. His work will have an impact for many years to come. Thinking of his loved ones.

Such very sad news. Frank never stopped fighting, never stopped campaigning and never stopped thinking. With love and deepest sympathy to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

As Keir Starmer recently set out, Labour wants to see a fully funded plan to reach 2.5 per cent, but the Tories have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted on defence and we will examine the detail of their announcement closely. (1/4)

On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone a happy St George’s Day.

Let us be proud of our national identity, confident on the world stage, and sure of our country’s future.

For me patriotism is about more than symbols and sentiment; it’s a driving value.

My mission-driven government will make sure opportunity is determined by talent and ambition, not geography or background.

After leaving the NHS on its knees and making Britain sicker, the Tories have decided to...blame the doctors.

This country is crying out for a general election.

Getting the early years right is so important. That’s why parents are so frustrated that under the Conservatives, they can’t get the childcare they need.

Labour’s Early Years Review will ensure we can build a modernised childcare system, and keep the promises we make.

Delighted that Labour has won the trust of so many business leaders.

It is clear that business has had enough of Conservative chaos and wants the stability to prosper that only Labour can provide.

Shameful (but unsurprising) that 58% of disabled people believe politicians don't care about them.

Disabled people absolutely must be at the heart of policy-making.

I will ensure this happens under a future Labour government.

It was great to be on This Morning this morning.

This country would grind to a halt without unpaid family carers.

Yet again. Still no employment recovery. Still lower than pre-pandemic. We are the only G7 country not to recover.

Tory failure. Economic decline. Britain pays the price.

My statement on the Iranian regime’s attack on Israel.

Happy Vaisakhi to everyone celebrating in Leicester and around the world

What would Labour do differently? 🤔

Sir Keir Starmer has promised to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP and pledged that a Labour government would maintain a “total” commitment to Britain’s nuclear deterrent ⬇️ thetimes.co.uk/article/keir-s…

My changed Labour Party is totally committed to our nation’s defence. 
 
We back our Armed Forces. We back our nuclear deterrent. We back Britain.

After 14 years, nowhere is safe from Tory failure - sickness benefits have soared in literally every constituency.

Millions are on mental health waiting lists or can't work due to long-term sickness - it costs us all a fortune.

Our country needs change.
