My thoughts are with the families of the 457 courageous and patriotic British soldiers who gave their lives in Afghanistan and who served in some of the most dangerous places in the world. Their contribution will never be forgotten.

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children.
