Lord Des Browne's amdt to the Rwanda Bill will exempt those who served with our Armed Forces from being sent to Rwanda.

The Afghans who served shoulder to shoulder with us deserve our respect and gratitude.

Don't just take my word for it👇🏼

Ministers lowered performance targets for failing firms…opening the door to lucrative taxpayer-funded bonuses.
 
Rigging the rules to reward failure.

With Labour, change is coming. We will bring our railways into public ownership as contracts expire.

Is there too much negativity about Sheffield city centre? Listen more: bbc.in/3xJBSLA

By bringing our buses into public control they’ll be cheaper, cleaner and safer.

Run for us, with the routes we need.

The Tories have failed to deliver for South Yorkshire.

See what a real plan for delivery looks like: olivercoppard.co.uk

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

Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need.

This is a devastating admission of failure from the SNP-Green government in Scotland - one that will leave bills higher for longer, energy jobs continuing to flow overseas, and households and businesses across Scotland vulnerable to Putin’s whims.

64,000 ppl on waiting list for social housing in West Mids.

What does Mayor Andy Street do?

Build 46 new social homes in 8 yrs as mayor.. ie ONE home for every 1,391 people on the waiting list.

The region deserves better.

Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 will deliver.

Q) Would the UK Government be keen to prevent organisations, such as political parties, using images of the King in their propaganda?

Minister's answer: Uh, I don't know how to answer that.

Britain’s ports are the lifeblood of our coastal communities, and vital engines to growing our economy.

Labour will deliver the most significant investment in UK ports in a generation, creating thousands of good jobs up and down the country ⛴👇

🚨🚨A record £100m handed out in compensation for rail delays as cancellations soar.

It’s taxpayers footing the bill, while private operators pick up a cheque regardless.

With Labour change is coming: we will end this something-for-nothing culture.

Delighted that Labour has won the trust of so many business leaders.

It is clear that business has had enough of Conservative chaos and wants the stability to prosper that only Labour can provide.

The government must act now. We cannot afford to lose good jobs and great opportunities.

It is the taxpayer who is forced to carry the can for our broken, dysfunctional rail network.

Labour will end this something-for-nothing culture, bringing our railways back into public ownership as contracts expire and holding the industry to account.

Good to spend the morning with Denmark in UK, and Danish business and investors. The message is clear - industry partners need a Government which provides long-term stability to deliver on infrastructure, transport and Britain's climate targets.

News that the govt will remove the parental rights of paedophiles is incredible vindication for the testimony and campaigning from some of the bravest women I know.

Particularly proud to know and have worked with the brilliant S A M M Y woodhouse for so many years.

On the 26th April 2024, 917 years worth of experience (32people) leave my department of Carbodies (welding) at Alstom Derby. This is due to the UK not having a long term rail strategy which has left us without any workload. #alstomderby Alstom UK & Ireland Louise Haigh Mark Harper

Absolutely incredible results after just one month under public control in South Yorkshire.

It shows that with the right model and accountability you can get the best service for passengers and value for the taxpayer

I agree with Louise Haigh it’s a disgraceful insult for the the Transport Minister to dismiss redundancies at Alstom as “peaks and troughs” - these are real people - their livelihoods, and a tradition that goes back nearly a century and a half standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

🚨Our rail manufacturing sector is in crisis.

Jobs are already being lost due to months of inaction from Conservative Ministers, with thousands more at risk.

Britain created the railways, but that legacy is being trashed by a Government content to oversee their managed decline.
