Today I met Dave, who drove the first train out of Waterloo under the Government’s public ownership programme. We said we’d bring the train operating companies into public ownership. We’re delivering. Next stop: set up Great British Railways to better manage track and train!

Today’s Budget is all about giving breathing space to families and businesses, and hope for the future. As global conflict pushes up costs, we’re taking action today while building a stronger, more resilient economy that delivers growth in every postcode.

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.

Potholes can cost drivers up to £600 in repairs. That’s why we're fighting back with record investment: 🛣️ Nearly 7,000 miles of roads resurfaced this year 💷 £220m more for councils 📈 More prevention, fewer potholes We're tackling the pothole plague.

Eli showed incredible bravery during a very difficult situation, putting the needs of other passengers ahead of her own despite her injuries. I'm so pleased to see her recognised with a Pride of Britain award.

Today I am announcing a new railway station at Bradford Interchange. We are delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail, working in lock-step with local leaders like @MayorOfWY. We will create a turn-up-and-go train service for the great cities of the north.🚉 theguardian.com/business/202…

It's so frustrating when the actions of a few spoil your journey. Our new campaign reminds passengers to use headphones on trains, and highlights the penalties. And local leaders get new powers to tackle music, vaping and littering on buses. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm89…

The best news to wake up to ahead of the morning round. Congratulations to Sagal, who has led such a positive campaign. Thank you to the brilliant @LondonLabour team and members who made this win possible. Britain is backing Labour’s message of hope.

We are backing our aviation sector right across the country - exciting plans for Birmingham ✈️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm0l…

You know that feeling when you book a flight for 50 quid and somehow it ends up costing 100? Getting seats together, correcting a typo, another charge here and there, it all adds up. When the cost of living is already squeezing people, those endless extras can feel relentless. So we're changing the rules for you. Parents won't need to pay a penny extra just to sit next to their own children. You'll be able to fix any name errors on your booking free of charge. And because the last thing you want once you're on the plane is more stress, we're working with the industry to make sure that disruptive passengers who have been banned from one airline can be banned from flying with other airlines too. I know holidays are expensive and these are small things, but hopefully they'll make your trip just that little bit cheaper and easier. That's exactly the kind of thing I want this government to keep on fixing.

As I said in my speech at conference, a train without level boarding is a job you can't take. All new Great British Railways trains will be level boarding, as standard. We’re building a railway that everyone can rely on. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/r…

As Andy said today, this was a real speech - but it was also a great one. He’s a real person, in whom working class aspiration and decent family values are self-evident. It was a speech full of courage and conviction. Loved it.

For years, we've heard stories of Avanti underperforming, with passengers left paying the price. I've listened - and so today I announced that we'll haul Avanti into public ownership at the earliest opportunity, delivering a railway that serves passengers not shareholders.

For years, Avanti West Coast passengers have been left paying the price for underperforming services. Enough is enough. We will bring Avanti into public ownership.

Enough is enough. For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti’s cancellations, delays, overcrowding, and a service that has failed them time and time again. So my Labour government is bringing Avanti West Coast into public ownership at the earliest opportunity in March next year. That means passengers, not shareholders, will come first. More investment, fewer delays, and a renewed focus on getting the basics right. We're putting essential services back in public hands and building a railway that actually works for the people who use it.

Tomorrow at @UKLabour Conference, I will announce that we will nationalise Avanti West Coast train services at the first opportunity. We are building a railway Britain can rely on. thetimes.com/article/b68f649…

This is huge.

Camden is my home. I'm standing to give back to the community that gave me everything.
