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.

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.

So sad to hear about Richard Rosser. Absolute best of our Party. Huge knowledge of every part of our transport network, always interested in new ideas. President of Isthmian League, fmr TSSA Gen-Sec, chaired the NEC in 97. Labour Party legend. Will be missed enormously

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

Under this Tory government, where you are born too often dictates where you end up.

Labour will change that.

Angela Rayner 🌹 and I have set out how.

The Tories’ low-productivity, low-security, low-wage doom loop is bad for workers and bad for business.

A Labour Government will work with employers to deliver a New Deal that lifts the bar.

Proud to be the co-chair of the civility commission & help launch #JoCoxCommission call to action in Parliament today. Abuse has no place in politics. Such a huge amount of support, now we must campaign for the recommendations.

As we approach Christmas, those people who are homeless are uppermost in our minds. I outline how a future Labour Government will tackle homelessness by building homes, hopes and dreams.

Britain’s brick industry is on the brink of collapse.

Broken Government housebuilding promises and spiralling energy costs are to blame.

Nearly 8,000 UK jobs rely on brick manufacturing- It’s time for urgent action to support this vital industry.

My priority is to grow our economy and make working people better off.

With Labour, Britain will be run on clean power by 2030. It’s my mission.

Alistair Strathern MP! What an incredible result. Blown the Tories out the water and showed there are no no-go areas for the Labour Party!

A day to make history in #Tamworth and #MidBeds ! #LabourDoorstep

A week ago we awoke to the unimaginable and heartbreaking news of terrorist attacks on Israel from Gaza by Hamas.

We repeat our call for Hamas to release all hostages immediately, and for the protection of innocent civilian lives in Israel and Gaza.

My statement:

It’s time to get Britain’s future back.

Cancelling HS2's Northern leg is a disaster.

It will cost hundreds of construction jobs.

It sounds a death knell for rebalancing the UK economy.

Our unelected Prime Minister has inflicted the biggest rail cut since the Beeching axe.
