This government will build an economy that works for working people, and rewards working people.

Today, the Prime Minister has written to parents benefitting from 30 hours of government-funded childcare, saving £7,500 a year and giving their children the best start. This didn't happen by accident. It's the difference a Labour government makes. educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/09/prime-…

While Nigel Farage swans off to the US to genuflect to Trump, slag our country off and compare us to North Korea, here’s a working-class Labour Education Secretary getting on with the job.

“To those who say that the only way to love your country is to hate your neighbour … we reject you, you will never win. Because the values we stand for … [are] a love for this country & our neighbours, the respect for difference under the same flag.” Keir Starmer, Lab Conf 2024

Thanks to Angela Rayner, zero hours contracts will be banned, no-one will be subject to fire at will, no-one will be able to be fired and rehired, and no-one will lose their private rented home just cos their landlord wants them out. That's quite some legacy. Thank you Angela.

Angela Rayner has achieved more in the last year than most politicians achieve in a lifetime - a trailblazer for working class kids from backgrounds like ours. When those kids have a council house, when their mums and dads have better rights and pay, they’ll have her to thank.

It can hardly be said that Nadine Dorries was a ministerial titan 🥴 She also took the Online Safety Act through. Does she now support its scrapping? Dorries. Lee Anderson. Jake Berry. Reform is simply recycling the same old Tory faces who failed you and wrecked the country.

To quote an old political phrase: this is not normal

Sick. Wrong. Un-British.

They aren’t. They are arrested if they incite violence and in her case jailed because she pled guilty. Reasonable people will disagree on sentences/her guilty plea, but what Reform are doing is glorifying the spreading of hate

With falling numbers of parents getting their children vaccinated, and a resurgence of disease we had previously eradicated, it’s shockingly irresponsible for Farage to give a platform to these poisonous lies. He should apologise and sever all ties with this dangerous extremism.

Nigel Farage has had a lot to say about other people's tax recently. But why doesn't he like talking about his own?

Year one of a Labour government: 👶 30 hours of childcare, breakfast clubs and school based nurseries 💷 Five interest rate cuts saving £100s on mortgages, and higher pay 🤝 US, EU and India trade deals, protecting jobs 📜 Reform of planning laws to help build 1.5m homes

Absolute lunacy. Vaccines save lives. Vaccine denial puts them at risk, and in the worst cases ends them. Reform represents a wholesale import of Trumpism into the UK - cranks and all. Our country needs this nonsense like a hole in the head.

A lot of good people in Mainstream, but the only group I want Labour to be in step with is the *public*. This contest can’t be a therapy session or exercise in talking to ourselves. I want a deputy leader who’ll celebrate our achievements & galvanise the party to take on Reform

“The role of the deputy leader is not to provide an alternative, oppositional voice.” Ex-Labour deputy leader Baroness Harman says the new deputy leader needs to be a woman from outside London. #R4Today

Excellent news!

Voters saw Andrea Jenkyns singing, a convicted racist being cheered, and a Trumpian vaccine denier on stage at Reform’s conference. They did not like it.

There is a cruelty and meanness to so much of what you see from Reform. My firm belief is that decent Brits simply do not think like this or approve of it.

The hard right are telling young people where I come from that it doesn't matter if they work hard in life, they can't get on. Theirs is a politics of simple slogans, of scapegoats and traitors, of betrayal and division. The only way to beat them is to unite and deliver.
