Labour has a plan to bring down energy bills for good.

Working class white boys highest group to drop out after GCSEs. This is a growing national crisis. Boys lag girls from nursery to university. They are more likely to be socially isolated – suspended from the classroom, excluded from school, and checked out of the workforce. Research even suggests that the much-vaunted gender pay gap has reversed for the younger generation, with young women outearning their young male peers. More gravely, young men make up almost the entirety of the prison youth estate and are twice as likely to take their own life than girls.  @csjthinktank thetimes.com/article/217d0c6…

Andy Burnham is grasping the nettle, making the difficult decisions that the Tories avoided for 14 years.

🚨 New figures show that knife crime is down by 11% and overall homicides are down by 7%, since July 2024. Fatal knife attacks are also at their lowest level in 35 years.

Britain has been exposed to volatile international energy markets for far too long. That is why Labour is establishing a new Energy Wealth Fund which will reinvest tax revenues from North Sea oil and gas into renewable and low carbon projects to support the clean energy transition and bring bills down for good.

Today marks 60 years since 144 children & adults lost their lives in Aberfan.   In a matter of moments, families were devastated & a village left carrying grief beyond words.   Six decades on, we remember every life lost & pay tribute to the enduring strength of the community.

NEW: Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh has confirmed homegrown gas production at Jackdaw will go ahead. In the middle of an energy crisis, homegrown gas has a role to play in our energy security as we transition to net zero.

I want Britain’s energy wealth to spark a new wave of clean power. Our decision to approve Jackdaw alongside the new Energy Wealth Fund means we invest in green transition and benefit from our existing natural resources.

🚨BREAKING: Andy Burnham has announced that drivers will get new rights to challenge unfair private parking charges.

Today, Labour has announced that drivers will be getting new rights to challenge unfair private parking charges. This is yet another step forward in Labour’s plan to take the stress out of everyday life.

🚨NEW: Andy Burnham has announced crackdown on anti-social behaviour on public transport.

My thoughts are with the police officer who was injured in Nottingham city centre yesterday. This was a shocking and deeply concerning incident. I am pleased to hear that the officer is in a stable condition, and I want to pay tribute to all emergency services that attended.

Everyone across this country wants change - with governments across the United Kingdom working together. Andy Burnham is making that change.

Andy Burnham is putting problem solving over point scoring. That's what the people of Scotland deserve. That's what everyone across our United Kingdom deserves.

Out listening to residents in sunny #Basford with Linda, Alex & Salma. Great to sort out local problems and discuss national issues with our #Labour #Coop MP #Labourdoorstep #Nottingham #CoopParty

This Labour Governent is putting power into every postcode.

Supporting offenders to turn their lives around is an important part of cutting crime and making our communities safer.  This week, I visited HMP Northumberland to see how prison and probation staff are working together to support rehabilitation.
