There are days in politics that you are particularly proud of. Today is one of those, because we are debating the Great British Energy Bill in Parliament. This Government won a mandate for the first publicly-owned national energy company in 75 years. It will be owned by you

The Tories allowed record levels of sewage to be pumped into our rivers, lakes and seas. This Labour government will crack down on polluting water companies, with tougher penalties for law-breaking, including imprisonment for water bosses. 🌊

At the start of the new term, it was great to be with @Keir_Starmer , outlining how this Labour government will deliver on our mission to break down barriers to opportunity. We’ll make sure background is no barrier to success. (…and belated happy birthday, Prime Minister 🎂)

Tory Ministers blocked this development, which includes much needed affordable homes, for no reason other than petty politics. Labour is serious about getting Britain building.

Tragic to learn of over 40 Ukrainians killed and many more injured in an indiscriminate strike by Putin’s forces in Poltava. I offered condolences to Defence Minister @rustem_umerov on his visit to London today & assured him the UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes

From Monday, this government will be delivering 15 hours funded childcare for hundreds of thousands more families. High quality early education and childcare boosts children's life chances and parents' work choices. There's still time to sign-up👇

We inherited a Tory housing crisis. Too few homes have been built. Ordinary people can’t get on the housing ladder. There’s no time to waste. I’m calling on landowners, local authorities & housebuilders to help unblock sites & get shovels in the ground.
