Had great fun at the massive Screwfix Live exhibition today. Screwfix is expanding fast and doing great things with refurbished products, new packaging and clothes made from recycled materials.
And I met the Dulux dog 🐾
Deeply moving ceremony to unveil the mural in memory of Elianne Andam who was murdered a year ago in Croydon. One year on from her death, her family remain extraordinary in their strength. We stand together in Croydon and we will defeat violence.
New: we’ve secured investment to create one of the largest AI data centres in Europe, based in the Northeast of England, delivering jobs and wealth creation.
My number one mission is to grow our economy. With my government, Britain is back as a major player on the global stage.

Last night I challenged Mayor Perry about his council’s threat of legal action against
@WeAreNightwatch
He failed to provide any response at all - embarrassment? Ill prepared? Indifferent?
Councillors from all parties value the great work done by Nightwatch.
Does the Mayor?
@JasonForCroydon
Please answer this simple question:
Will you provide a public assurance that the council will not take legal action against a charity that has been providing help for the homeless in Croydon for almost 50 years?
After months of consultation, a petition with 700+ signatures and strong support for more events and opening hours, Croydon Council and the Mayor have ignored community's voice by deciding to close Broad Green Library at tonight's Cabinet meeting. Our community deserves better.
1/ Today at Labour Conference, I announced a plan to help bring one million families out of fuel poverty.
We know that the poorest people in our country often live in cold, draughty homes.
This Labour government will not tolerate this injustice. We will end it.
We’re delighted to hear from the Education Secretary
@bphillipsonMP
in conversation with our exec chair
@annelongfield
this evening at Labour Party conference.
Great to hear her ambition to promote inclusion in schools, reduce child poverty, and tackle the attendance crisis.
Hilary Benn at Labour conference hails the role of Mo Mowlam in delivering peace in Northern Ireland.
Working for Mo was an enormous privilege I will always be grateful for.
Brilliant to see my friend Rachel Reeves address Annual Conference as a Labour Chancellor.
The vision she set out - of rebuilding Britain with investment and jobs, of making work pay - is what this country needs after fourteen years of failed Conservative economics.
Superb speeches from
@jreynoldsMP

Jobs, growth and money in people’s pocket to fund our public services. Clear-eyed choices, stability and investment. The difference a Labour government will make.
