Britain is becoming more and more divided. Some of us can afford a decent life, a lot of us can't. We see different worlds through our screens. The places we live in look and feel increasingly different. Our task is to help unite this nation again.

Punishing people isn't the answer to unemployment. Creating good jobs is.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

The bond rate fell substantially today as 4 MPC members voted to cut. Nothing to do with fiscal position. All to do with Bank of England. Reminder: The UK government bond rate = demand for investment + expected inflation + political risk* *(usually 0, sometimes you get Truss).

We see the growing destitution. We want everyone to be able to live a decent life.

The lesson from last night's results: Win on affordability, and you win the election

It's (mostly) about living standards, folks

Voters in New Jersey and Virginia who said the economy was their number 1 issue voted 63-35 for Democrats last night. That’s a sharp reversal from 2024, when Trump won economy voters by 60 points www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

Punishing people doesn’t get people into work. We get people into work by creating good jobs.

We used to agree on climate change, but now the Conservatives are turning their back on future generations. They’re becoming more radical by the day.

David Lammy is right. The way progressives win the next election is by making life affordable again 👇 h/t @newstatesman1913.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

There was a time the party opposite condemned Enoch Powell. We can hear the dog whistle. Being British is about our values, the way we act, and the way we cohere together 🇬🇧

The senseless attack on a train near Huntingdon yesterday was horrifying. I cannot imagine the fear of the passengers, and all my thoughts are with those affected. Thank you to the emergency services and train crew for their quick response.

I agree with The Chancellor, the OBR needs to move to one forecast a year. Find out more ⬇️

Get living standards rising -> Beat the radical right

Will be on LBC at 4pm

🚨 OUT NOW 🚨 Does the OBR really run Britain? 💼 Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt, Labour MP @jeevunsandher.bsky.social, and the IFS's @benzaranko.bsky.social join @alaintolhurst.bsky.social to discuss whether the Office for Budget Responsibility is too powerful 🎧 Listen now: pod.fo/e/347deb

Will be on BBC Politics Live at 12 15

Trump won because Biden didn’t get living standards rising. In fact, they *fell*. Learning from Biden’s mistakes is why we will win in 2029. Here's how we are (link at bottom) 👇

I love a pint with the mates. Here's why 👇

Nice to make the Guardian editorial yesterday 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Me on Times Radio 🔊 It is our shared British values that tell us to stand together and respect others. And to call out disrespect when we see it.

The Griffin in Loughborough for stop number 24 on my constituency pub tour! 🍻 A great pint in a great venue.

Financially struggling voters are *thinking* of voting for radical parties 👇 We'll win those voters back by getting living standards rising.

A day in my life as an MP (with my beautiful wife) 👇

Will be on Times Radio between 5 and 6 pm this evening

The UK bond rate has fallen pretty far over the past month. No news stories on that though. Funny that.

It's a great book - I highly recommend

UK inflation is stable at 3.8%. Better than expected but still a way to go.

Wishing you all a happy Diwali! 🎆 This October, over 1 billion people of different faiths and nationalities, living in all countries of our world, will string up lights, and share a meal with the ones they love. I hope you have a great day.

Farage's tax cuts for the richest won't work. Here's what does.

I worked in Somaliland during its worst drought in living memory. A burning planet led to drought and hunger. But there are things we can do👇

Good news on growth this morning Higher growth -> higher wages -> higher living standards for middle income families To get living standards rising for *low-income* families, we need to get costs down More here: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/labours-li...

I love our flag. That’s why I’ve asked the County Council to take them down from lampposts 👇

Statement on Gaza Ceasefire

Between 2007 and 2022: - The wealth of the top 10% grew 30% faster than for average households - The wealth of 60 year olds has grown *100%* faster than 30 year olds (both are underestimates as they miss the super wealthy)

It has been two years since the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists. Those attacks included British citizens as their victims. We stand with the Jewish community against all hatred and discrimination, the return of all hostages, and will do what we can to build a lasting peace.

Sof is one of the best comms people I've met. Read her insightful piece on British patriotism here: renewal.org.uk/blog/mr-blob...

Just 20% of Brits think today's youth will be have better lives than their parents. That's 'cos today's youth are stuck in a Long-term Living Standards Crisis. Not enough good jobs and not enough houses. That's why we have to create more good jobs and build a lot more houses

Everyone being able to afford a good life is a Labour value. Gabby Hinssliff rightly sets out why a paying £5 for a coffee makes a good life less affordable. That's why this government is investing to get costs down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 GOOD NEWS: SOCIAL MEDIA USE IS FALLING 🚨 Social media has become more damaging. We are being driven apart by algorithms that are designed to drive up engagement through outrage.

I am appalled by the horrid attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester today, on Yom Kippur. All of my thoughts are with those injured and their families. I stand with the British Jewish community against antisemitic hate. We are all stronger when we stand together.

Why did this Labour Party conference matter so much? Join me for a delicious pint to find out 🍻

.@Ed_Miliband is right. There is no law of economics that says we must all do well. We have to act to make it so: by investing in people and the communities they live in.

Let's all gloat a bit at Putin's expense, shall we?

Britain achieves great things when we stand together, rather than apart. Thank you to Peter Kyle for standing up for a united, inclusive Britain.

These are dangerous times we are living in. We have two choices in how we respond to them. We can find someone to blame — as Reform do. Or we can act, so that we all do well.

Each of us coming together, with a common cause. Those are our Labour values. My reflections on the PM’s speech on the last (full) day of Conference.

Supporting business is essential for growing the economy and creating good jobs 💼

Our values say everyone should be able to live a decent life. Making life affordable is what this government will do.
