We live in dangerous times. Conflict and drought are rife. Extreme poverty, once declining, is now flat. Through our leadership and innovation, we will help build a more secure world where the end of extreme poverty is in sight.

To get living standards rising permanently, we need to get prices down for good We do that by investing - like we are with cheaper, cleaner energy And by redistributing costs - like we are with childcare www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Parliament is now in recess. That means I get to spend more time at home, in Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages. Here's a day in my life 👇

Not all takes are successful .... Full video on living standards out next week

Most Brits are worried about paying their energy bills 👇 Getting these bills down and living standards rising is how we make this government a success h/t @luketryl.bsky.social and @moreincommonuk.bsky.social

Today’s inflation stats show us that we need to get prices down and living standards rising. The good news is that we *will*. Since 2021 overall prices have risen by 25%. But the price of essentials (food, rent, water) has risen by *far* more. This is hitting living standards.

Unity, decency, determination. That’s what it means to be British.

The Employment Rights Bill gets productivity *and* living standards rising. Better for workers. Better for employers. Better for growth. It does this by building a stronger relationship between employers and workers. (Full article here: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/how-our-em...)

🪧 STATEMENT ON SATURDAY PROTESTS 🪧 The best moments in our nations past, our present, are when we stand together 👇🏾

Excited to be joining the Department for Business and Trade team as a PPS to Peter Kyle. Working with businesses and workers to create prosperity for every person and place in our great nation. That’s what this Government is about.

After tonight's hustings, I have decided to nominate Bridget Phillipson to be Deputy Leader. It was a strong and impressive performance. As Secretary of State, she has also shown she can raise quality *and* tackle the cost of living in difficult times.

A house that is divided against itself cannot stand. If we don’t invest so we all share in our prosperity, to unite our divided nation, the House I am a member of will not stand.

In just a year, Angela Rayner has changed the lives of millions. She has put us on a path for building the (social) homes young people need and workers have rights to bargain for better pay & decent conditions. I admire everything she has achieved.

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills down. Before recess, over 100 MPs in the Living Standards Coalition called for progressive changes to reduce bills for low- and middle-income households. Thanks to DESNZ and Ofgem for pursuing this.

Our flags – the Union Jack, the St George’s Cross – represent our national spirit. They symbolise our decency, our unity, and our determination that has always defined Britain at its best. My piece for @labourlist.bsky.social - labourlist.org/2025/09/jeev...

🚨GREAT NEWS FOR PARENTS🚨 From the moment parental leave ends, parents will now get 30 hours of free childcare per week. That gets costs down today and is good for the public finances. Early years childcare means parents work today and their children earn more tomorrow. Win-Win.

🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Let's Talk About Flags🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👇 Our flag represents our national spirit. Our decency, unity and determination.

So delighted to share that I got married! We were so blessed to have a wonderful wedding celebrating our two heritages and I'm so lucky to be sharing my future with such a wonderful man @jeevunsandher.bsky.social

WONDERFUL NEWS!! ✨ I am delighted to share with you all that, over the summer, I married my wonderful wife, Louise Sandher-Jones. I’m very happy and we’re very excited to start the next chapter of our shared future together.

We need a new vision to rise to the existential crises we face. A vision of strength in unity. Read more in my piece for @thefabians.bsky.social. fabians.org.uk/strong-labour/

GREAT NEWS: Cancer survival rates have almost tripled over the past 50 years 👇

Bull and Bush in Shepshed – stop 22 on my pub tour of the constituency. Great pint and great pub! 🍺

Rupert Matthews, Leicestershire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, has left the Conservatives and joined Reform Rupert shows the real difference in values between us and Reform 👇

Thank you @jeevunsandher.bsky.social MP for visiting Punch Pubs' Horse and Trumpet in Sileby, Leicestershire. 🍻 We discussed the challenges and opportunities facing pubs across the UK ahead of the #AutumnBudget and the potential for business rates reform. 💼

🚨GOOD NEWS🚨 Renewables are overtaking fossil fuels in electricity production That's because wind and solar are *cheaper* than the alternatives

We live in dangerous times. Living standards are stagnant, Putin threatens war in Europe, and our burning planet is making us poorer. We need a new vision to rise to this moment. A vision of strength in unity. Originally from the Fabian Review: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/strong-lab... 🧵 below

Climate change is a living standards issue. It's driving up food prices, making us all poorer. And it hits the poorest, who spend more of their income on food, the hardest. 👇 Read more from @autonomy-institute.bsky.social below

Congratulations to the @Lionesses on an historic victory! A proud moment for our country, #Lionesses #WEURO2025

Progressive pricing changes can get energy bills down today. My words in the @newstatesman.com: www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/su...

Ed Miliband has been urged by more than 100 Labour MPs to explore overhauling UK energy bills. He is understood to be considering a number of options for progressive energy pricing, inc discounts for the least intensive consumers – known as rising block tariffs www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Government is taking the right decisions to decarbonise and end the reliance on imported fossil fuels. Energy independence is our future, but we need bills to come down soon, especially for lower earners. Our Living Standards Coalition enters the debate 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills falling. That’s why over 100 Labour MPs from the Living Standards Coalition have written to @Ed_Miliband. We're asking him to consider progressive price changes that will get bills down more quickly.

This government is committed to uniting the nation after 14 years of division. Through common prosperity, we can find the strength and purpose to build a country we can be proud of.

Pub no.21 on my tour - Ring O’Bells in Storer. Cheers! 🍻

Getting living standards rising is core to our values *and* is what we need to win the next election. That is why we set up the Living Standards Coalition. To make sure everyone can earn a decent life. You can read more here: labourlist.org/2025/07/comm...

Getting living standards rising is core to our Labour values. It’s what we were elected to do. That is why over 100 Labour MPs have set up the Living Standards Coalition.

Exc - Tonight a new group of Labour MPs launches calling on the PM to radically refocus on cost of living. They say there should be now a major effort to drive down every day costs of energy, childcare, bills and housing or the party risks defeat. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The party opposite had 7 sets of fiscal rules in 14 years. They kept cutting, kept driving down growth, and kept missing their deficit targets. The way to get the debt burden down is to invest in economic growth.

Big changes are coming to the NHS. Here’s what the new 10-Year Health Plan means for you. 👉

1 year of being an MP. 20 pints on my pub tour. At the Organ Grinder in Loughborough. Cheers 🍺

Talking about his past year as an MP, @jeevunsandher.bsky.social says he is proudest of helping to organise Labour support for the assisted dying legislation www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/03/seven-of-labours-newest-mps-look-back-on-a-relentless-first-year

To pay for the public investment we need, we are taxing the very richest in this country.

We need to create millions of good jobs to win the next election. A couple with two children need to earn £35k each to live a decent life. But currently, 10 million people earn less than this. Here's how we fix that Link: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/how-to-cre... (1/6)

The 10 year bond rate has fallen over the past month

I came into politics because I believe everyone in this country should be able to earn a good life. I welcome the hundreds of thousands of good jobs we will create in construction. But we need millions more.

I agree with ‪@josephestiglitz.bsky.social‬. The poorest countries are paying debt to private lenders they cannot re-negotiate. We in Parliament should act. We should pass a law so that their taxpayers' money can be spent on vaccines, not debt.

Sophie Blake is terminally ill. She wants the choice to shorten a painful death.
 I am pleased the Bill to give the terminally ill a choice has passed the Commons. The British public support this Bill 73% to 16%. I look forward to the Lords scrutinising this Bill.

73% of Britons support the assisted dying bill as it stands, ahead of its final Commons vote tomorrow Support: 73% (no change from 19-20 Nov 2024 to 15-16 May 2025) Oppose: 16% (+3) yougov.co.uk/health/artic...

This is what happens to prices while we remain addicted to fossil fuels👇 If oil is used to transport goods, then everything goes up in price when oil does
