My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

The word ‘Tory’, commonly used to refer to a member of the UK Conservative Party, comes from the Irish Gaelic word ‘tóraidhe’ meaning outlaw or robber.

This is reindustrialisation

Sheffield does not welcome masked boys dressed up as Blackshirts. We will not be intimidated by your pathetic thuggery. We will not allow racism to be normalised or people to be made to feel they don’t belong in their own communities.
I completely back Zahira’s demand for answers from South Yorkshire Police. How did this happen without warning? Why should people feel unsafe walking their own streets?
Sheffield was the UK’s first City of Sanctuary. We have a proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution and war, and offering them community, peace and security.
I stand with Zahira, Fran and our communities. We will not be divided, and we will not let the far right define our city

Once again. The reason why the motion is antisemitic and racist is because in its narrowest interpretation it gives permission to discriminate against Jews based on a unmeetable litmus test. And conference today voted AGAINST safeguards against such a narrow interpretation.

They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
South West Water (SWW) has been fined almost £8m for hundreds of sewage spillages across Devon and Cornwall over a six-year period.

Great to hear @JohnHealey_MP put young people at the heart of his speech today.
A bold vision for a new age of industrialisation, with investment in skills, and good jobs in every postcode ⭐️
Labour is putting hope, growth and opportunity into the hands of the next generation!

@ZackPolanski ‘s interest is flattering, but we won’t take lessons on humiliation from the boob-hypnotist who defended austerity 🤭🤭🤭

🚨 NEW: Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has called for Andy Burnham to introduce compulsory voting with £10 fines for those who don't
"Compulsion to use, or even to attend and abstain, is now increasingly justified and necessary"

Every country is steaming ahead with rail electrification but the UK keeps delaying it. In essence, we avoid a high up-front capital cost in exchange for keeping higher maintenance and operation costs. Fiscally sensible on a short time horizon, but punitive in the mid & long term

Labour GAIN from Green.
Changes w/ 2026.
The threat has never been more real or more morbid.
The left needs to stand behind Burnham and fight the far right. A Labour government with Labour values is the only way to renew the country not the vile dogma of Reform, Restore and the groups they enable.

'Pensions are, whether you like it or not, a form of benefits.'
@blondepraxis argues that the triple lock counts as welfare, so why is nobody talking about cutting that too?
