Good jobs, better wages and higher living standards are key to economic growth.

Labour will deliver for working people.

The Rwanda gimmick was announced in April 2022. Since then, 3 home secretaries and hundreds of millions of £s have been sent to Kigali, whilst the total chaos in the Channel has gone from bad to worse. And Sunak is asking you to vote for him because his plan is working...??? 🤦‍♂️

Rishi Sunak has finally found the courage to call a General Election.

For Wales, for Britain, Labour stands ready to lead 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇧 #Labour #GE24

7 years to prepare for these new checks, yet Govt has failed to do groundwork.

Ministers have failed to approve £45m for vital improvements at Dover, & admit digital app won't be ready or solve problem.

They must get a grip or holidaymakers & workers will be stuck in queues.

Justice delayed is justice denied – and it has taken far too long to get to this point.

The UK Government must set out details of the compensation scheme without delay.

On the day that the Infected Blood Inquiry publishes its final report, I pay tribute to campaigners like my constituent David Farrugia, my colleague Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈, and all the victims and their families who have fought so hard for justice, never giving up.

The infected blood scandal has caused decades of suffering. My constituents, along with all the victims and their families, have campaigned for justice but it’s taken far too long and is long overdue, justice must not be delayed any further.

This week I presented a petition to the House of Commons on behalf of residents in Aberavon. The petition called on the Government to get on with implementing the recommendations of Sir Brian Langstaff’s Second Interim Report of the Infected Blood Inquiry, without delay.

Glorious weather for campaigning in #MidandSouthPembrokeshire today.

Great conversations on the doorsteps, and loads of support for our brilliant candidate Henry Tufnell 👍👍👍

Residents sick & tired of the Tories, and calling for a #GeneralElectionNow 🌹

We're cancelling the headline-chasing Rwanda gimmick because it's unaffordable, unworkable & unlawful.

Instead Labour will deliver a new Border Security Command.

We'll also end asylum hotel use - & create a new Returns Unit to speed up removals of those with no right to be here

Labour's Border Security Command will form part of Keir Starmer's 6 first steps for change.

Here's my BBC Newsnight interview setting out why it's so important...

On Monday I visited a hotel housing asylum seekers - and spoke with Islington Council about the challenges they face.

Labour is determined to fix the broken asylum system - to save the taxpayer £billions, improve mental health of refugees, & take pressure off hard-working councils.

IPPR point to how wind energy can deliver UK a modern manufacturing renaissance.

Port Talbot & Celtic Sea are a prime location for Floating Offshore Wind - & Keir Starmer has committed Labour to seizing this opportunity.

Report also underlines key role of steel in this re-birth

Labour's new Border Security Command will increase the capacity and powers of those keeping our border safe - going after the criminal smuggler gangs that the Conservatives have allowed to take hold.

It will be funded by cancelling the unworkable & unaffordable Rwanda gimmick.

Tories again say one thing but do another.

In contrast, Labour has fully-costed policies for our new Border Security Command with hundreds of offices & specialist investigators, our plan to end asylum hotel use, and our new Returns Unit to remove people with no right to be here.

(2/2) ... of the National Security Council.
Discussions covered a range of key issues, from Ukraine to China to trade and development. The US is a vitally important partner and ally, and it is vital that we build and strengthen the special relationship.

I was in Washington DC last week, as part of a cross-party delegation organised by the Coalition for Global Prosperity. We met members of Congress (House and Senate), think-tanks, World Bank, USAID, State Dept and we also went to the White House to meet with representatives (1/2)

Just another Tory MP recklessly putting the extortionate Rwanda con ahead of the Good Friday Agreement.
