Yesterday in Yarm, I joined Rachel Reeves Angela Rayner 🌹 and Yvette Cooper to launch the Labour Party's plans to breathe new life into our High Streets and Town Centres.
The Tories have failed both high street chains and independent retailers.
If I'm elected on 2 May,…

Lord Richard Rosser will be missed greatly by all who knew and worked with him.

All of our thoughts are with Richard’s wife Sheena and his family and friends at this difficult time.

It was great to welcome Angela Rayner 🌹 and Louise Haigh to the West Midlands today to discuss my plan to bring buses into public control.

This will mean our buses will be cheaper, cleaner and safer. Run for us, with the routes we need.

Great to have spent this afternoon on the doors for Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 with Angela Rayner 🌹 and Simon Lightwood MP.

On May 2nd vote Labour for better buses. 🌹🚍

Britain's bus services are in crisis.

Labour has a plan to Take Back Control 👇

Today, I'm setting out Labour's plan for better buses.

Labour's plan will give every community a say over their buses.

Our plan means vital routes created and saved across the country, and better bus services wherever you live 🚍🌹

Brilliant to be out w Angela Rayner 🌹 & Rachel Reeves in Yarm today to launch The Labour Party plan for high streets
✅ more community police
✅ scrap & replace business rates
✅ banking hubs

Showing what a Labour Govt can do working together, instead of Tory chaos letting country down

It’s time to turn the page on fourteen years of Conservative decline with a Labour government that will breathe new life into our high streets.

It was a warm welcome on the doorstep in Blackpool South even if not from the weather.

Delighted to join Chris Webb who will be the local champion this community deserves (alongside a new addition to the Webb and Labour family). 🌹

NEW: Labour's plan for high streets:

✅ 13,000 more neighbourhood police & PCSOs
✅ Face-to-face banking in every community
✅ Replace business rates
✅ Stamp out late payments
✅ Revamp empty shops, pubs & community spaces

'Labour will take action to back renters and ban no-fault evictions once and for all' says Angela Rayner 🌹

I will take on tax dodgers to fund our NHS and schools.

I promised I would honour my commitment to find new funding - and I've stuck to my word.

Soaring rents are pushing private tenants to breaking point with huge numbers falling into arrears and at risk of eviction and homelessness.

We need a strengthened Renters Reform Bill with additional protections for tenants against extortionate within-tenancy rent rises.

Lord Doug Hoyle was Labour through and through. A distinguished parliamentarian and a tenacious campaigner, serving as both a Member of Parliament for Nelson and Colne, and then Warrington.

We will truly miss him.

We can make collages too.

Labour is determined to tackle the housing crisis.

A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs.

Rishi Sunak thinks it’s funny that you want a chance to vote for change.

You can stop him laughing by voting for it on Thursday 2 May.

No progress made on half of UK government’s levelling-up targets theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, and always, Labour stands with trans people. #TDOV

Wishing you a Happy Easter!
