Wishing you a Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🎄

Lovely festive evening at Tingley Garden Centre for the #TingleyWinterTrail before heading back down to Parliament for another busy week. The boys loved looking at the lights, toasting marshmallows, and of course, meeting Father Christmas!

A privilege to attend the service at Armley War Memorial this morning. Wonderful to see over 150 people there to honour the fallen. We will remember them.

Would be lovely if @LNER had somewhere to put prams so you didn’t have to collapse them with your two toddlers and all your luggage…

I love this beautiful, tolerant, and diverse country. Reform can't say the same thing. How can they, when they want to deport people who are our nurses, our teachers, our friends and our neighbours? That's the politics of division. That's not the politics I stand for.

I am thrilled that Armley and New Wortley have secured £20 million of funding as part of the @UKLabour Government’s Pride of Place programme. That’s 2 million a year for the next decade and local people will decide how it’s spent.

Together, we are making the NHS fit for the future.

Today we are expanding Winter Fuel Payments to benefit nine million pensioners this winter. It is right that we continue to means-test this payment so that it is targeted and fair. That's why we have acted to expand eligibility so no pensioner on a lower income will miss out.

I want young people to have the opportunity to fulfil their potential, wherever they’re from, whatever their background. That’s what really matters to me. observer.co.uk/news/national/…

Great to be out with @TracyBrabin in Bramley yesterday discussing the exciting plans for mass transit. Funding I announced this week will help get spades in the ground by 2028. Labour is investing in our region's future 🌹

Outstanding Morley! Another wonderful St George’s Day parade. Our first as a family of four.
