The Labour Party

We took a different approach. Labour has been clear from the beginning that this is not our war - and we’re not going to get dragged into it. We will defend Britain’s interests at home and abroad.

Reform and the Tories wanted Britain to dive headfirst into war.

Don't forget what Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch would have done if they were in charge.

That has always been the plan. Read more here: keirstarmer.org/theplan

We will be defined by our ability to stand up for British interests in this volatile world. To make our country more secure and resilient. To give working people a fairer deal and deliver more opportunities for their children.

Energy bills coming down immediately for everyone, for the next 3 months, regardless of global events. Prescriptions frozen, so they stay under a tenner.

Because of the changes we've made, our economy is better placed to meet this challenge. And from today, people will start to see the difference. The minimum wage and living wage up.

Labour will always defend British interests abroad and stand up for you at home.

This morning, I’ll be giving an update on how we are supporting you with the cost of living through the conflict in the Middle East. Watch live.

Morning from Westminster! From today, the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage are rising. We’re cutting energy bills by an average of £117 a year. And we’re freezing prescription prices. We’re putting more money in your pocket.

⚡£117 on average coming off energy bills 🚗 Fuel Duty freeze extended 🧒 450,000 children to be lifted out of poverty 💷 A payrise for over 2 million people 💊 Prescription charges frozen again This is a government for working people.

This is one of the most important dials that affects our success as a country. Productivity. But what does it really mean, and what are we doing about it? Let me explain 👇🏻

Parking your car shouldn't be a faff. We're making it easier. Just one of the changes we're making as part of our Integrated National Transport Strategy, launching later this week.👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/….

Our brilliant Wolverhampton and wider Black Country team at the launch of Labour's local election campaign today. Thank you to the PM for bringing his message of help with the cost of living, pride in the country and the right leadership in uncertain times. 🌹

At today's @G7 talks with @bankofengland Andrew Bailey and @Ed_Miliband, I reiterated the need for a swift resolution in the Middle East. This is not our war and we won't be drawn into it, but its economic impacts are global - we must work with partners to strengthen resilience.

Great to launch Labour’s local election campaign in Wolverhampton today alongside @Keir_Starmer. These elections are about our Labour values in action. We have a strong Labour story to tell. Reform are cutting services, where in charge. The Greens hypnotic promises are an illusion.

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest. It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards. And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride. Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children. That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.
