Congratulations to Andy Burnham on becoming PM. Our politics starts with our values: that all should be able to live a decent life. That starts with breathing space to help make life affordable for all.

Congratulations to Andy Burnham on being elected to lead our Party. For us, the task ahead is to build a stronger nation - where we stand together and make life affordable for person in every place. Together, we will. Divided, we won’t.

Affordability and security go hand in hand. We cannot have one without the other. Only then do we unite this nation to meet this moment.

Here’s why life feels unaffordable. And how we’re fixing it.

Devolution means prosperity in every part of the country. But most importantly in Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages. Me on Sky News.

Good growth in every postcode, including LE11 and LE12, means moving power out from London and across the country.

A brilliant piece on British culture by my mate Sof www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A moral ideal. Policy Principles of good jobs, common ownership and devolution. And a political vision unites us. That’s what Andy represents. Me on Sky News this morning.

This is a really difficult time for our country: an affordability crisis, a planet that's burning and war in Europe. We're backing Andy to help us meet this moment.

I'll be on Sky News at 8 15 tomorrow morning

I’ve actually always loved VAR. I will be taking no further questions at this time.

It’s coming home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The World Cup is so important, even beyond football. It bring us together as one nation, one community. I hope everyone enjoys the game tonight (it's coming home...) ⚽

The circumstances surrounding Ann Widdecombe's death are horrific. All of my thoughts are with Ann's loved ones at this deeply distressing time.

Burnhamism means every person in every place being able to live a good life.

I’ll be on BBC Newsnight tonight. Chatting about who I nominated to be the next Labour PM

I have a confession to make: I'm a fiscal credibility hawk. We only change this country when the numbers make sense. I learnt that in Somaliland, where the choice was pay the soldiers or feed the kids. Substack link: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/confession...

I would simply like to point out that what we are seeing rn, from Binface in particular, is Mr Blobby Patriotism in action (@renewaljournal.bsky.social). We are in Silly Sausage Britain and we just have to accept it: renewal.org.uk/blog/mr-blob...

"The first rule of politics is to learn how to Count."

Good growth means we all share in it. Me on Abundance Pod.

Kemi disagrees with the child poverty measure as it “changes if more billionaires come here.” She doesn’t understand the maths. Relative poverty measures incomes compared to the *median* not the *mean*.

🏠️ Building social homes is good for people, yes. 📈 But it's also *very* good for growth. The reasons might surprise you 👇

It’s hot, right?🌡️ Climate change is already here. The good news: clean, homegrown energy cuts your bills and protects the planet for the next generation.

What a win last night. It didn't matter who you were or what you looked like, everyone was in it together. That's worth celebrating as much as the result itself. Roll on Saturday … ⚽️

NEW YIMBY POD! - @mjrobbins.com and I discuss the problem with the new war on delivery robots - And we speak to @jeevunsandher.bsky.social about how to actually achieve "good growth in every postcode". Listen/subscribe: www.abundancepod.com/p/the-new-wa...

I'm backing Andy because he knows we are stronger when we stand together. Not when we stand apart.

I’ve worked in finance ministries across the world. That’s why I’m a fiscal credibility hawk.

Fiscal credibility hawkishness for the win.

Will be on LBC Cross Questions at 8pm

Young people face three big challenges: not enough good, non-graduate jobs, a housing crisis, and a punitive tax system. They've been locked out, and we’re letting them back in again.

Britain is one of the most geographically unequal nations. Here's how we fix it.

Here's what I'm excited about this week 👇

I'm a fiscal credibility hawk. But there is more we can and will do to change our country - within the fiscal rules.

Andy's vision is this. Building a country where every single one of us does well.

"It's the wonk-friendly version of the speech" Winning at life.

Will be on Newsnight tonight chatting about Andy's speech.

Andy wants us to get good growth in every postcode. He's right. I've worked on this for a *long* time on this (1/3 of my PhD, think tanks, HMT) So here's how we do it 🧵 Substack link: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/good-growt...

How much do you need for a decebt standard of living? @jeevunsandher.bsky.social MP told us last week that far too few people are earning enough to get by.

Our affordability crisis was decades in the making, and has exploded in recent years. We were hit the worst by the post-Ukraine inflation. But why? Well it has a lot to do with energy and spending ...

Young people deserve what previous generations had: the chance to get on in life. That's this Labour government's mission.

Speaking at our event @jeevunsandher.bsky.social calls for: - better vocational routes into work to reduce the NEET rate - build more homes - help young people to build wealth who can't get it from their parents - shift tax base from work to wealth. A strong living standards agenda for Gen Z....

I’m a doctor… …of economics. Here's how we make our economy healthier.

📲 Banning social media for under-16s Earlier this year, I asked constituents for their views on banning social media for under-16s. Here’s what they had to say.

On the tenth anniversary of Brexit, the cost to the country is more stark than ever. We debated Defence investment in the Commons today. It felt appropriate to remind Conservative benches that leaving the EU has weakened our economy and as a result, made it harder to invest in our armed forces.

Keir Starmer resigned today with dignity and grace. It is for us to build on his successes. Making life affordable, defending our nation, and uniting this country with a vision of strength. Together we will meet this moment, divided we won't.

The train crash near Bedford is deeply sad news. Many in Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages use this line regularly. My thoughts are with those involved and their families.

A massive congratulations to @andyburnham.bsky.social for winning in Makerfield. Strength in Unity beats Weakness in Division

Building a country where we stand together. That’s what @andyburnham.bsky.social’s campaign is about 👇

Great to campaign for Andy Burnham on the weekend. Looking forward to getting out the vote tomorrow.

It's been ten years since Jo Cox was killed. Her words stay with us now and always. "We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us."
