Labour is building homes that people can afford to rent

I am aware that there has been another incident with a burst water main in the SE9 and BR7 areas. I have made urgent enquiries with Thameswater about the need for repairs a long-term plan to prevent these issues from reoccurring. 1/2

Good for families and our hospitality and entertainment industries. I’m very proud that we’ve made family days out much cheaper this summer.

A privilege to be invited to @StPaulsLondon for a service of recognition, remembrance and reflection for all those infected and affected by the UK contaminated blood scandal. I remember Martin.

Now that there’s a possible path for @AndyBurnhamGM to get back into parliament, can we now stop the resignations and abuse of the leader and get back to the job of delivering the change we promised at the last general election.

Growing the economy will lead to improvements in people’s standard of living after 14 years of Tory stagnation when, household incomes flatlined or went down. People need hope for the future, not a return to Tory austerity.

From today in Eltham and Chislehurst and across the country, landlords can no longer evict tenants without fair reason which causes huge bills for tax payers for housing homeless families.

Uber is planning to introduce driverless cars from September, without consulting their workers or explaining to them what it means for their jobs. This is another P&O scandal waiting to happen. Existing workers can’t just be thrown aside because companies are too big to care.

I confirmed that as a government we remain firmly committed to honouring each and every one of the commitments we made in our manifesto 👇🏻

Our Renters’ Rights Act will see Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions abolished on 1 May in 37 days’ time. It would be utterly shameful for any landlord to attempt to use it to evict tenants en masse before that date. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I welcome the changes to our local train services that are being made by our newly nationalised company, Great British Railways - owned by the people and run for the people. These changes, which will come online in December, are as follows:

NEW: Many people have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a very different story.   Last year saw:   The lowest homicide rate since records began   The fewest homicides of those aged under 25 this century

Children growing up in our country deserve the best start in life – nothing less. Today’s Budget means we will deliver the largest reduction in child poverty in a single Parliament.

An active government making a difference for working people

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader. Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better. I will be your strong independent voice.

Labour is at its best when we are clear about whose side we are on, and in whose interests we serve, when our values shine through. I want us to be clear that our objective is to lift children out of poverty and that will mean we need to lift the 2 child benefit cap www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Speaking to Nick Robinson for Political Thinking on why I’m standing to be a full time Deputy Leader - being clear about whose side we are on, being a bridge between the movement & leadership, lifting the two child limit, the atrocities in Gaza and telling a unifying story 👇

Good luck to all those students who are collecting their GCSE results today. All the best for the future.
