Today at Chatham House I’m setting out the next Labour government’s contract with the British public on foreign policy.

After years of Conservative isolation, we will create a Britain Reconnected, for Security and Prosperity at Home.

The Government and Ofgem now admit that the prepayment meter system is broken.

But words are not enough- we need a complete ban on the forced installations of PPMs whilst we reform the system, so that more families do not pay the price for the Government's failure.

Only Labour has a plan to keep Britain open for business.

As businesses struggle with energy costs, Labour would be helping with their bills now.

And we'll lower business costs for good in the future, helping small firms go green to save on energy bills.

Sticking plaster politics is not enough.  
 
We cannot persist with walking into crises unprepared.  
 
That is why Labour has a plan to reach clean power by 2030 and to insulate millions of homes.  
 
That will save families money for years to come. #BBCLauraK

To the East and Southeast Asian community in the United Kingdom and around the world, the Labour Party wishes you a happy and prosperous Lunar New Year!

新年快樂, 恭喜發財!

.Yvette Cooper and I have written for the Sunday Telegraph about the state of our emergency services and Labour’s determination to reform and rebuild our public services 👇🏻

When I said I want to be Britain’s first green Chancellor, I meant it.

I want the electorate to judge me by my actions on tackling climate change.

I know Labour’s plans will bring down family energy bills, create jobs and boost energy security.

Labour would stop the energy price cap rise in April, with our cost of living package easing the burden on families across the UK.

And our plan to deliver clean power and warm homes will cut energy bills for good.

NEW: Millions will face soaring energy bills in April.

That’s why Labour today calls on the government to stop the price cap rising.

But we must end these sticking plasters - and get moving with Labour’s clean power sprint for lower bills the future too.

Labour will build a Clean Power Alliance, bringing countries together to cut energy prices and boost energy security around the world.

At home, our Green Prosperity Plan will lower bills, create jobs, and spread economic growth across the UK.

Who would've guessed?

With Labour, Britain will be open for business.

Britain needs a government ready to tap into the green opportunities of the future.

With Keir Starmer as Prime Minister and Rachel Reeves as Chancellor, Labour will decarbonise the economy, creating good jobs and boosting energy security.

With Labour, Britain will be open for business.

.Keir Starmer and I are in Davos today showing how, with a Labour government, Britain will be open for business.

Our ambitious plans, built on the rock of economic stability, will boost growth and bring global investment back into the UK.

The Levelling Up Fund is in chaos, beset by delays and allegations of favouritism. And despite today’s announcement, communities across the country are still paying a Tory premium for the last 13 years.

A 🧵 on today’s announcement 👇

theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Only a Labour government, with Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, will deliver for every community across the United Kingdom.

Under the Tories the NHS is in crisis.

And this Prime Minister is showing no leadership to tackle it.

The longer we give the Tories, the longer people will wait for the care they need. #PMQs

It’s shameful that Rishi Sunak’s response to heart-breaking stories of people left waiting hours for ambulances at #pmqs is to deflect.

We need a Prime Minister who takes responsibility and shows the leadership needed to get waiting times down.

Today at #PMQs the Prime Minister was asked about people waiting hours for an ambulance. He evaded, he sidestepped, he deflected. What he didn't do was finally accept that the NHS is in crisis and apologise.
