Net migration hugely down from Sunak’s 1 million to Starmer’s 200000. Could be zero soon! Also illegal immigrants not given asylum - ~20000 pa! Illegal immigrants removed and deported by Starmer - over 60000 in last 12 months!

+ £440m targeted uplift to ecovery Grant to help areas most impacted by Tory cuts - total now £2.6bn + Almost £140m extra funding for mayoralities, including £99m to support housing for vulnerable people + Council tax rises capped at 5% increase, except for 7 areas given special approval 2/2

Labour has announced the final Local Government Financial Settlement, ahead of debate in the Commons on Wednesday. And there are some great headlines! + 90% of SEND debts to be written off + £272m more to support people at risk of homelessness - bringing the total to £2.7bn 1/2

Labour announce £1bn in funding for community energy projects! Community centres, places of worship, libraries, leisure centres and more will benefit from owning & generating their own energy, and create revenue from it. The Local Power Plan will see GB Energy deliver this biggest ever investment!

Brilliant, joined up thinking from our Labour government! The soon to be published education estates strategy will require construction firms working on school building projects to show they are providing learning opportunities for 13,000 apprentices & T-Level students. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Just what did our Labour government do in 2025? Quite a lot, it seems... 865 written statements made to Parliament 560 statutory instruments introduced 223 scheduled ministerial question sessions in the Commons 174 ministerial statements in the Commons 1/4

This morning I am still seeing people post to say they are joining Labour to support the PM. The media's attempts to oust our PM have failed. He is gaining support and comes out of this episode stronger than before. Keep the momentum going! Keep posting support. 1/2

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times. So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

Grateful to @mariecurieuk.bsky.social for meeting me this week. I'm pleased to support Amendment 21 to the #EndOfLifeBill which would include reporting on palliative & end of life care. Palliative care & patient choice go hand in hand to ensure a holistic approach for people who are dying.
