The Rt Hon James Murray MP @JamesMurray_ldn has been appointed Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk.

This Labour government has the right economic plan. The choices we have made mean our economy is in a stronger position, as we deal with the costs of conflict abroad.

So now the PM needs to appoint her as Health Secretary to replace Streeting. She would be brilliant at it.

'We need to take a deep breath.' Labour MP Hilary Benn says that he 'supports' Keir Starmer and encourages his party to 'get on with governing'.

Increasing long-term investment in social housing. Speeding up remediation to make buildings safer. Making things fairer for millions of leaseholders. Transferring power out of Westminster. Protecting our democracy. This government is delivering for the public.

We are taking action to strengthen Britain’s national security and defend against threats from hostile states. New Bills set out in the King’s Speech will help us to take down criminal proxies, crackdown on cyber criminals, and tackle extreme violent content online.

With this Labour Government, Britain has seen inflation come down, six interest rate cuts and borrowing fall. The PM’s steady leadership means we are better able to protect families, support businesses, work with allies and face global challenges.

It is an honour to accept the appointment as the Minister for Housing, Communities, and Local Government. I will work tirelessly to deliver the government’s agenda and will continue to represent my constituents in #Barking & Dagenham.

Tonight on @GBNews I addressed @UKLabour MPs directly - do not turn on @Keir_Starmer. It isn’t what the British public voted for and it isn’t what is in the best interests of our country or our party.

We are delivering on our manifesto and our economy is stabilising. The Prime Ministers global leadership has been excellent. A 5th prime minister in 6 years will paralyse our government and make the cost of living crisis worse. We promised stability and I will fight for that.

In our first Parliamentary session, this Labour Government passed 50 new laws, delivering real change after years of decline. Today’s King’s Speech sets out how we’ll build on these foundations to create a stronger, fairer country with opportunity for all.

Do we favour politicians with character over politicians who get things done?

🚨 NEW: Politics UK understands around 1,600 new members have joined Labour since last Thursday The vast majority cited support for Keir Starmer as the reason

Labour has already passed 50 new laws to tackle the cost of living, empower local communities and get a better deal for working people. In today’s King’s Speech we’re going further, with action on energy bills, national security, and making public services fit for the future.

The Tories haven't tabled a debate on education for the King's Speech. I wonder why? Maybe they don't want to talk about all the things Labour are doing to give children growing up in our country the best start in life – so here's your reminder. 👇

Our @UKLabour Government has already passed over 50 new laws to transform the lives of working people. Today’s #KingsSpeech sets out the next steps we are taking to create a stronger, fairer country with opportunity for everyone.

I rarely ever comment publicly on parliamentary Labour politics anymore but I know so many (albeit quietly) feel the same as I do. I first joined the Labour Party when I was 16 years old, under Ed Miliband. I’m now 28, meaning I’ve been an active member for over 12 years. A Labour government is rare. Do they always get it right? Absolutely not. But every single one has brought about profound changes for the better of the working class. Many members just like me have spent over a decade campaigning to give us a chance in government. It’s an absolute kick in the teeth to watch so many MPs urge Starmer to resign & leave their own positions they were apparently ‘comitted’ to when Starmer won a landslide victory 2 years ago, and a leadership contest before that. It comes across as unstable, insecure, and incredibly individualistic. It echoes of the exact behaviour the Tories exemplified for almost 15 years. The behaviour the country were fed up of & voted out! In my sector, I’ve seen in real-time the positive changes this government have already made. Realistically, we knew we wouldn’t have long, and we were to make the most of this term. Purity politics is the enemy of progress. Reform have control of fewer than 10% of councils. That’s it. Now is not the time to run scared.

Nigel Farage was a directly elected member of the European Parliament, with the power to amend, approve or block any EU law proposal. Yet he told us the EU was a dictatorship. 10 Years later, we're still paying for his lies. Brexit must die! youtu.be/Oc-7Tyc89Kg?si…

Turning back to the leader of the opposition, the PM says he and Kemi Badenoch have something in common: "Our parties both had tough results at the local elections last week, the difference is she hasn't noticed," he says Follow live: bbc.in/48TqGfk
