Rather than a proper plan to get Britain working, the govt has proposed more consultation.

Labour would help to break down barriers to employment by driving down NHS waiting lists, reforming job centres and making work pay.

Thousands of people are languishing on mental health waiting lists.

Labour would tackle the mental health crisis by:

✅Recruiting 8,500 specialist mental health staff
✅Providing mental health support in every school
✅Setting up mental health hubs in every community

Today it was Education Questions in Parliament — perhaps the last time before the General Election.

The Shadow Education team were again holding Ministers to account for the mess they’ve made of our children’s future.

A thread: 🧵

Despite the cheery tune, what Andy Street has done (and hasn't done) for the West Midlands is no laughing matter.

Take a look 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

The reason more people are on benefits for longer is because people are waiting on waiting lists for years on end & because mental health care in this country is horrendous.

There are people who could work & want to if they get the treatment they need as soon as possible.

Spineless. This is about morality and decency. The Tory Party is now a cult of immorality and nastiness. Will Andy do or say anything to try and save his party?

Nope.

I don't deny there are issues with sexism in all parties. However, Rosie's nasty behaviour towards other people is horrendous. Wes Streeting MP is right.

This isn't about her so-called 'gender critical' views. She can have them if she wishes to, but why be so horrid with them?

As we've seen in Birmingham, too, Hope Not Hate exposed a Tory Councillor with years worth of extremist hate & calls to violence, and we're just expected to believe that they had no idea?

Pull the other one - it wasn't one off or casual.
