This is a huge day for Britain. After 14 years of decline, we will invest in our country - rebuilding our schools, hospitals and roads. We won’t shy away from the tough decisions to grow our economy and protect working people’s payslips. There is a brighter future ahead.

Working people won’t face higher taxes in their payslips.

We promised we wouldn’t increase income tax, National Insurance or VAT for working people. We have delivered on that promise.

A landmark Budget, by the first female Chancellor, my friend, Rachel Reeves. We will fix the foundations and deliver the change Britain needs.

This is the start of a new chapter towards making Britain better off. Only by taking the tough decisions now, can we deliver our long-term plan for a brighter future.

Today's Budget will fix the foundations to deliver change. Here are just some of the things announced by Rachel Reeves today 👇

NEW IMF back today’s UK tax-raising Budget “welcome the budget’s focus on boosting growth -needed increase in public investment -support the envisaged reduction in the deficit .. including by sustainably raising revenue”

The Budget yesterday chose investment over decline. And it will pay off for Britain.

For the people. Always.

My statement on the events in Syria.

I spoke with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The United Kingdom’s role in fortifying Europe’s defense and security is important for us. We discussed upcoming plans and opportunities. UK’s support matters indeed, and we will never forget the respect the British people have shown

Action, not just words. Britain stands with Ukraine, today and always 🇬🇧🇺🇦

I am running to be Deputy Leader of The Labour Party. As a proud working-class woman from the North East, I have come from a tough council street all the way to the Cabinet. I will be a strong voice to unite our Party, take the fight to Reform, and deliver for our country.

🌹Some really strong candidates here - after lots of conversations, I've decided to nominate our tenacious and transformative Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson.

I’m supporting Bridget Phillipson in the contest for Deputy Leader. We need a Deputy to unite the Labour Movement and continue the fight to transform our country. Bridget’s life experience and record in Government equips her uniquely for this role. I’m proud to give her my support.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

My thoughts this evening are with the loved ones of Charlie Kirk. It is heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband. We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - there can be no justification for political violence.

We are proud to endorse Bridget Phillipson for Labour Party Deputy Leader. She’s a team player, ready to work with Keir to make this Labour Government a success and win again. We urge all our supporters to nominate her in their CLPs and affiliates and vote for her in the ballot.

I’m pleased to have nominated Bridget Phillipson to be Deputy Leader of The Labour Party. Like me, she’s passionate about ensuring every child has the best start in life, and is laser focused on delivery, from free breakfast clubs, to expanding free school meals and childcare.

It’s time to unite the Party and beat Reform. backbridget.com
