I was very impressed by Sainsbury's’ commitment to sustainability and zero food waste, working with @TrussellTrust and neighbourly.com. I really felt the sense of community at their Wandsworth store created by people like Hilary, who has worked for Sainsbury’s for 43 years!

We are once again topping up the Government funded Healthy Start scheme with a £2 printed coupon, helping to feed eligible pregnant women and children. The coupons are available every week for six months, from 12th October-11th April 2023. Read more here: bit.ly/3V8Q9bU

A pleasure to meet people working at Sainsbury's in Durham this month with Martin Scicluna & Mary Kelly Foy MP. We talked about the cost of living crisis hitting customers and Labour’s plan to fix business rates. Labour is pro-worker & pro-business, and we will get our economy growing.

Do you use a NHS Healthy Start Scheme card? We are providing a £2 top up coupon every week for fruit & veg. We hope this additional support will ensure that good, quality food is accessible to everyone.

Sainsbury’s is investing £205m to boost hourly colleague pay to at least £11 and help support colleagues with the rising cost of living. This investment is the largest we've ever made in pay and exceeds the government's new National Living Wage rates bitly.ws/yya8

On Friday I visited Sainsbury's at the Galleries. It was great to hear about the community work Sainsbury's is currently doing, supporting local school breakfast clubs and regular donations to Washington Community Food Project.

We welcome the Chancellor’s announcement to improve childcare provision, helping more women stay in, and return to, work. Our latest WiPA survey found that the cost of childcare was one of the biggest barriers women in the industry wanted support for from their employers on (1/2)

Delighted to host Kevin Hollinrake MP, Florence Eshalomi MP and other attendees at our #NourishTheNation Reception. With our wonderful Community Champions and charity partners, it was great to talk about our collaboration in cutting food waste and tackling food poverty.

Great visit to Sainsbury's at the Nook earlier to talk about the #CostOfLiving help available to the workforce and their 'Waste not Want' initiative to distribute surplus food to food banks, charities and community groups. 🪙🍎🍌

Delighted to host an excellent discussion with Sainsbury's & a range of academic & policy experts in Parliament. As I say in my #HealthyBritain report, we need all sectors working together to help people #EatWell #LiveWell & to make healthy food #Affordable & #Sustainable🍎🥦🍍

Thank you to everyone who visited us at #LPC23 and experienced our farm to fork scalextric. Huge congratulations to our fastest MPs Florence Eshalomi MP Liz Twist MP Claire Hanna Rachel Hopkins MP ⏱️👏🛒

It's small wins that make the job worthwhile 🏎️

Had a great time talking to Harlow residents today with Calvin Bailey MBE MP and Leyton & Wanstead Labour Party supporting @ChrisJVince. It’s clear Harlow is ready for change! 🌹 #voteforchange #VoteLabour #Labourdoorstep

Change will only happen if you vote for it. Vote Labour on Thursday 4 July

Really pleased to have the continued support of Sainsbury’s in protecting our members and their colleagues. The sector, with Simon, has really come together to deliver on this one and thanks to that work, I’m looking forward to hearing from the Home Secretary on the issue today

Thank you to all those in the food sector. You are the unsung heroes over Christmas, working tirelessly to put delicious food onto our plates.
