@StephenMorganMP That amounts to £441 per playground; provided that the admin costs are not included.

After years of Tory austerity, we're backing councils to fix the basics - with a new £18 million fund to make sure kids have somewhere safe to play👇🏻

@KarlTurnerMP @KemiBadenoch @Keir_Starmer @POTUS And so Labour should be cautious given that HMS Middleton was given a lift by MV Rollback Storm.
English
It’s “a difficult one” now apparently. But @KemiBadenoch savagely criticised @Keir_Starmer for not jumping to the tune of @POTUS Trump in rushing headlong into an illegal invasion of Iran by the US and Israel. The PM was right to be cautious and I am very glad that he was.

Just three weeks in, we finally have a clear answer from Kemi Badenoch on whether she supports the war.
English
@UKLabour That's £441 per playground, if you exclude the planning costs.

@MirrorPolitics At £46,000 per High Street that'll fund a couple of benches in each location if Local Councils are managing it.

High streets set for £319 million investment and boost to playgrounds

@RichardBurgon @jeremycorbyn Was this part of your job description for your taxpayer funded £98k/year job as an MP? Expenses too?
English
With my friend @jeremycorbyn, I've just delivered key medical aid to Cuba.
This is part of the Nuestra America Convoy that’s bringing in huge amounts of aid as Trump tightens the cruel and illegal blockade of Cuba.
Donate and learn about the #NuestraAmericaConvoy below.

The UK State Pension should be abolished, and replaced by a "Population Restocking Award Annuity" for retirement. This will repay parents the £250,000 cost per child of raising them to the age of 18.
English
@JonathanPieNews Good to see that JP makes the case to cease UK State Pensions in the future. I presume he has his own private pension arrangements.
English
Does welfare include state pensions? I think it does you disingenuous tit. In fact unemployment benefits are roughly 1% of what we spend on state pensions. We can see what you're trying to do here. Wanker.
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott
The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.
English
@MirrorPolitics I wonder how Labour will legislate against Private Landlords who say: "I'm no longer going to rent out my property. It's not worth the risks of rental. I'll sell it and take a profit."
English
Challenging unfair rents will be cheaper than expected under Labour shakeup

Fuel prices are expected to rise to
£1.50L - unleaded
£1.80L - diesel
Within a week.
This is what happens in a world addicted to fossil fuels.

@KarlTurnerMP @NickTorfaen Yet another Labour MP wanting to rejoin the EU without a mandate. He doesn't have the slightest idea as to what tribute will be demanded in the surrender terms imposed by that Empire.
English
We must tear down the trade barriers between the UK and our European Union neighbours. It’s won’t be the magic wand to a broken economy but it will help a lot. Well done @NickTorfaen for pointing out the reality and for driving sensible much needed policy. 🌹👏

“I’ve got it in front of me…it's 22 pages long and it's got 56 wet stamps on it.” Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds expresses his frustration with red tape caused by Brexit, saying the forms businesses need to fill in are damaging trade. @KateEMcCann @StigAbell
English
@paullewismoney It is misleading, the total tax take by the Labour Gov't is £1.1 Trillion/year. That's up from £876 Billion/year in 2025. Not to mention increasing Gov't debt at circa £12 Billion per month.
English
That’s nonsense because many of the people who get what he calls welfare do in fact Work. And much of this total is paid to pensioners in return for their national insurance and they would certainly not consider it welfare. But it’s fake statistics like these that can influence peoples beliefs.

@ret_ward Time for you to note that North Sea gas and oil is delivered to our shores via pipeline, rather than the tankers marooned in the Persian Gulf.
English
This is wrong. More drilling in the North Sea will not generate enough production to affect international prices of oil and gas, and will not cut the bills of British consumers. Time for you to be straight with the public.
Kevin Hollinrake MP@kevinhollinrake
The best way to cut people’s bills is through the Conservatives Cheap Power Plan and by drilling our own Gas and oil in the North Sea.

@bphillipsonMP @FJMcNally The difference is that unemployment is increasing under Labour as you pile costs and regulations on the employers.
English
This week Parliament ended the two child limit.
Great to hear from parents and @FJMcNally at Bellshill JobCentre Plus about the difference we’re making and the next challenges to tackle.

UK Gov't could generate 156,000 new jobs just by completing one unfinished job: fibreprovider.net/news/digital-i…

@SteveReedMP Have HMRC heard from you? I hear they plan to cane returning British Nationals.

@MosiniElisa What are the Surrender Terms on offer from the EU?
English
British politicians now speak about returning to the EU.
As a European, this makes me truly happy.
I will support this with all my strength, so that when the British people decide to come back, they will find an open door waiting for them.
Because we are one European family 🇪🇺🇬🇧
European Democrats@democrats_eu
When even London’s mayor @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon says the UK cannot afford to drift between Trump’s tariffs, geopolitical shocks and the long shadow of Brexit, it’s time to listen — in Britain and beyond. Sadiq Khan’s message is clear: the illusion of sovereignty has come at a real cost, with weaker growth and less influence. In an unstable world, standing alone is not strength. Rebuilding a close partnership with Europe is not nostalgia — it is a strategic necessity.

This rainbow junction in Hounslow cost £48,174 of public money.
Some will say it promotes inclusion. Others will question the cost.
Where do you stand?

@bphillipsonMP Child care is £6/hour; 30 hours/"week" equates to 6 hours per day which is £36/day, which if spread over a school year is £6,840. But which parent leaves their school age kid alone in child care for 6 hours day?
English
😞 Our offer of 30 hours of government-funded childcare is no longer saving families £7,500...
...it's now saving them £8,000! 😃
Labour is delivering for working families and tackling the cost of living.
English
@HigginsKieron That'll be relative poverty rather than absolute poverty, which are two very different states. Meanwhile Labour's total tax take = £1.1 Trillion/year; up from £876 Billion last year.
English
450,000 children across the UK lifted out of poverty.
That’s the difference with a Labour government.
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP
This week Labour ended the two child limit. Change like that only comes when you vote for it. Out in Coatbridge at lunchtime today with the fantastic @HigginsKieron talking with local people about the change Scotland needs that only @ScottishLabour can bring.
