The safety of British people is my top priority. An update on what we’re doing to protect our citizens, support our Armed Forces and defend our interests in the Middle East 👇

It took less than 30 seconds for Sarah Pochin to start making jokes about Muslims after her autocue broke. The same Sarah Pochin who said it drives her mad seeing too many black and Asian people on TV adverts.

5 things we’re doing to help tackle the cost of living 👇

In Canterbury I’ve announced an expansion of antibiotics and vaccinations to help contain the outbreak of Meningitis B. Anyone who attended Club Chemistry from 5th March is eligible and those who’ve previously had the antibiotics can get the vaccine.

I am thrilled that the Manchester Digital Campus has been confirmed by the Government today. This is fantastic news for our city and will create over 9,000 jobs and a new city centre park that will bring the derelict former Ancoats retail park brought back to life. Today’s £310million investment shows how the Labour government is working with Labour locally, delivering for Manchester, helping to create good jobs for local people and raise living standards in the city. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Labour is backing British steel by setting a new target for up to 50% of steel used in Britain to be made in Britain.

For the 8th month in a row, NHS waiting lists are coming down in Wales. Lots done, lots more to do.

This Labour Government has lifted the two child limit because every child the best start in life.

Some jokes write themselves...

As Shadow Justice Secretary, Nick Timothy has no plan for the prison capacity crisis or the unprecedented court backlog the last Conservative government caused. He should concentrate on policy over weird, offensive analysis like this. I know plenty of his Tory colleagues agree.

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down. I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel. Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again. My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.

Steel used in Britain should be made in Britain. Our new steel strategy makes more of that possible. news.sky.com/story/watershe…

We've halved the cost of childcare but we're doing more to improve the quality of early years education, too. Today, we’ve announced: 9,000 early years SENCOs will start training next month 5,000 more nurseries will join the Maths Champions programme gov.uk/government/new…

This is how far the Conservative Party has fallen. Stoking anti-Muslim hate and dressing it up as ‘British values’. This does not represent the Britain I know or love - tolerant, diverse and proud of it. The hate being peddled towards Muslims by the Tories has no place in our politics or our society.

Lent and Ramadan coinciding this year feels truly special 🤍 Grateful to share moments like our Trafalgar Square @OpenIftar with Londoners from different faiths and backgrounds - not just tolerating, but respecting and celebrating each other.

Christians, Jews, Sikhs and Hindus have all prayed in Trafalgar Square. Nick Timothy singled out Muslims, then had the brass neck today to sit on the front bench. He should be sacked. The Tories are following Reform into the gutter. Neither are fit to govern.

Labour is calling on Kemi Badenoch to sack her Shadow Justice Secretary over his appalling online remarks about Muslims. @annaturley has written to the Tory leader👇

Thrilled to announce the longlist for #UKCityOfCulture today. Congratulations to Blackpool, Inverness-Highland, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Portsmouth, Sheffield, Swindon and Wrexham gov.uk/government/new…

I know there is a lot of concern about the meningitis outbreak in Kent. We've already given out 2,500 doses of antibiotics. Our vaccine programme starts today for students in Canterbury Campus Halls of Residence. If you have symptoms, call NHS 111 or in an emergency dial 999.
