In 2009, when I was Health Secretary, I took an on-the-spot decision at my MP’s surgery to go to Libya to help Sarah, a mum from Hindley, find her daughter. I have always used whatever influence I have for the benefit of people here - and I always will. WATCH the full story.👇🏻

Very honest from Reform on #bbcpnw. Clear they would REPEAL the Renters Rights Act. This would mean: 😬 The return of no fault evictions 🫣 no challenge to rent increases 😲 Removal of the decent home standard for private renters Reform UK are not on the side of renters.

@LeeAndersonMP_ You don’t need to argue with me, Lee. You need to listen to Gemma, the person who runs The Hamlet, and then decide whether as a Party you are prepared to do the decent thing.

Mr @christiancalgie has been busy putting out a partial version of events these last few days, amplified by yourselves. I think it’s time all your readers had the whole story. They were all out of order and, if they had any decency, would now hold their hands up and apologise.

🚨 This is massive. After years of injustice, the first arrest has been made in the Bickershaw waste dump scandal. @AndyBurnhamGM called it out, and now those responsible are being brought to book.

Staggering figures today which @ShabanaMahmood and the wider Home Office team deserves immense credit for. Our diversity is part of what makes our country great, but if we don't demonstrate control over our borders, we lose democratic consent for migration.

@BramellDerek It's chief benefits were never about speed but about capacity: increasing the number of local services and unlocking opportunities to move freight off our roads and onto the rail network.

@connor_naismith HS2 will run from Birmingham to old oak common in 55 mins. The west coast line goes straight to Euston in 1 hour 15 mins. Bit of a no brainer.

Capacity between Birmingham and Crewe is a problem now, not in 10 or 20 years time. HS2 is a case study of how Britain got infrastructure projects so badly wrong, but the need for that infrastructure is more urgent than ever. I called for government to recognise this urgency 👇

Im so proud of my constituent Jonathan for his persistence in raising the need for greater action on tackling and educating about antisemitism. I raised this with the @JLC_uk this morning and am firmly committed to working with government to see progress in this area.
Good Morning Britain@GMB

A Jewish schoolboy who says his classmates hissed at him to replicate the sound of a gas chamber, as well as threatened to vandalise his house with swastikas, has fought to introduce a new class on 'contemporary antisemitism' in his school to challenge these views.

Can there be anything more condescending to the people of Makerfield than the overwhelmingly London based @reformparty_uk operation trying to tell them what they should think about @AndyBurnhamGM? People in this area already know Andy because he's rooted there...

@andylarge2m Clearly a ridiculous extension of my argument. Jenrick is claiming that tax cuts are automatically wholly passed on to consumers. I'm pointing out that isn't true. Doesn't mean I think profit is unacceptable, but I don't think the taxpayer should be subsidising it 🤷‍♂️

@connor_naismith In that case why not just tax all business 100pc in their profits? Connor it is depressing that your understanding of economics is so puerile.

Slashing taxes on corporations doesn’t magically guarantee lower prices. More often than not, it just results in taxpayer subsidised profit while working families see little benefit. ​It's poor value for the taxpayer and a terrible way to tackle the cost of living.

@sjustaguess The UK government is still drilling in the north Sea and will continue to do so for decades... we're honouring existing licences but not issuing new ones. Even if we did issue new licences, all the evidence suggests it wouldn't bring down bills. Need home grown clean energy.

@connor_naismith You can’t drive econic growth when industries a facing crippling energy costs because your climate nut job bans our own oil and gas extraction then pays a premium to import our oil and gas needs from abroad

Very welcome 👇 If Britain wants to sustain its reputation as a serious country we need to build the critical infrastructure necessary to drive economic growth. That means removing unnecessary barriers to getting things built.
Faisal Islam@faisalislam

NEW Chancellor announces new restriction on use of judicial review for “critical infrastructure” clean energy projects - ie wind and nuclear - and time limitation for other projects, roads, rail and reservoirs - this is in addition to the streamlining of the process in the planning law. Will curb environmental challenges to big infrastructure plans.
