@bphillipsonMP The only way to stop Reform is removing Keir Starmer and bringing a new leader with new ideas and someone who will deliver on what they promise. The longer Labour MP's burying their heads in the sand the more likely Nigel Farage will be the next PM
We have delivered good, Labour things – action on child poverty, strengthening workers’ rights, protections for renters.
But we can’t and we shouldn’t pretend the status quo is working.
To stop Reform, we have to be bolder and we have to deliver change faster.
It’s important that we reflect and respond to these results - we haven’t done enough to offer people hope for the future.
In the coming days I’ll be setting out the path ahead.
These have been a very difficult set of elections. I’ve felt that in Sunderland.
But the answer is not to turn inwards. It’s to take responsibility, come together & face up to the challenges ahead.
Keir has won before, he can win again. We need to deliver change, not chaos.
These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities.
People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future.
I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
@Keir_Starmer The PM has no choice but to RESIGN. It's so clear he is not the right person to lead the Nation and by Starmer remaining Reform will clearly get stronger. Its down to the backbenchers now, will they man up and get rid of Starmer or are they happy to go down with a sinking ship
To all the Labour members and volunteers who have supported local campaigns across the country: thank you.
Together we will build a stronger and fairer Britain 🌹
To the voters who put their trust in us to deliver for your community, and for the volunteers who pounded the streets to elect Labour candidates, we thank you.
Together, we will make Britain a stronger, fairer country for all.
Lots done, lots more to do.🌹
Today marks the biggest shake-up of renters’ rights in a generation. The Renters’ Rights Act:
✅ends Section 21 evictions
✅limits rent rises to once a year
✅bans bidding wars
✅and stops discrimination against families, benefit claimants and pet owners.
Out on the doorstep with the Farringdon & Silksworth Labour team.
Phil, Joanne and Lauren are hardworking local campaigners, embedded in our community through their work in our youth groups, NHS and schools.
Reject Reform, back candidates on your side and vote Labour today.
We must build a stronger country if we are to build a fairer country. That is the mission of my government and the promise of change that we will deliver.

@Keir_Starmer No one had any trust or respect for the PM, he forced his own MP's to cover his mistakes and incompetence. If the PM really wants to do the right thing then he has to RESIGN
What is it that the Conservatives and Reform don’t like about a Labour government standing against unearned wealth?
What is it they don't like about raising money for our state schools, our hospitals, our police, and to lift children out of poverty?
Before the war in Iran I made clear: it is only fair that we have a windfall tax when energy companies make windfall profits, so we can help families with the cost of living.
The Tories, Reform, SNP all oppose it.
Only this Labour government stands up for working people.
We are investing in new rail, roads, and nuclear reactors.
New scanners for our hospitals and free breakfast clubs for our children.
We’re not going to let the Conservatives - or their friends in Reform - tear that down.
This Labour Government has delivered the biggest uplift to workers’ rights in a generation.
Labour is the only party that stands up for working people.
