It’s fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to today’s changed Labour Party.

It’s time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page, and get Britain’s future back. I’m really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey.

Delighted to see His Majesty looking so well, and returning to public duties. On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish him and the Princess of Wales the best, as they continue their recovery with the support of their families.

After the Conservatives have run our railways into the ground, Labour has set out a plan to reverse the decline and deliver reliable train services with Great British Railways.

Under Labour Britain’s railways will be:

✅Passenger focused
✅Publicly owned
✅Fit for the future

Patriotism is more than just respecting a shared symbol, it is about service to your country, its people and its values.

As Labour leader, I will always put country before party.

I have a great deal of respect for public service and 27 years is a long innings.

Politics can be ugly, so I am grateful to Tim for always being courteous and decent to me, including at Shoreham Farmers’ Market just this morning.

I wish him and Liza all the best for the future.

26 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed - one of Labour's proudest achievements.

Courageous leadership like Mo Mowlam's brought peace and power-sharing to Northern Ireland.

Today, we celebrate the progress made since then and must never take it for granted.
