Labour is supporting families

Thank you, @patmcfaddenmp for visiting Stevenage! @StevenageLabour

Pensioners with Guaranteed Minimum Pensions built up between 1988–1997 will receive a 3% increase from April 2026.

Our Labour government is taking action with a package of measures that will drive down in-work poverty. Our strategy will take 550,000 children out of poverty – the largest reduction in child poverty in a single Parliament since records began.

Applications for the new wave of free breakfast clubs open today for first 500 schools to start in April 2026, with 1,500 more to follow in September.

We are fixing forces family housing with a record £9bn renewal. And we are supercharging housebuilding on surplus Defence land: new homes for veterans, military and civilian families. Delivering for defence, delivering for Britain.

Congratulations, Adam Fox - Labour’s candidate for Mayor of Greater Essex!

Congratulations, Carli Harper - Labour’s candidate for Mayor of Norfolk and Suffolk!

This is what a Labour government can do in a week.

We've approved 21 major infrastructure projects in one year – the most in the first year of a Parliament in history  🌊 Offshore wind farms powering 3m homes  🛣️ Roads to speed up 90,000+ commutes  ✈️ Airport expansion for cheaper holidays  ⚡ Clean energy creating 1000s of jobs

Happy Rosh Hashanah! Shana Tova from all of us at Labour.

Farage’s ideological opposition to clean energy would rob communities of good jobs and lose billions of pounds of investment from industrial communities.

Labour is bringing nursing, mental health, post-op, rehab, and diagnostics to your doorstep by opening new neighbourhood health centres.

Earlier this year, I promised to put government services in your pocket. Today I'm pleased that we’ve delivered on this promise, giving you a new way to interact with government.

🌹Your Labour Council 🌹Your Labour MP and 🌹Your Labour government are working together and delivering for Peterborough.

Supporting working parents isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s vital for our economy. Today, Labour has launched a review of parental leave, to look at the whole system and see how it can work better for parents and employers.
