As the first Black Lord Chancellor, I’m determined to widen opportunity, break down barriers, and ensure talent, not background, determines success.
A judiciary that reflects modern Britain is a stronger judiciary.

At the General Election we pledged to bring down net migration.
Following reforms in our Immigration White Paper last Spring, it has now fallen 82% from the peak under the Tories.
We promised a fair, controlled and managed migration system, and that is what we are delivering.

Under the Tories overseas recruitment shot up while UK training was cut - a failed free-market experiment which quadrupled net migration in 4years. Tomorrow’s White Paper will restore control to the immigration system, bring down net migration & boost skills & training in the UK

Tommy Robinson was sent to prison for showing a film. Lucy Connolly was sent to prison for a tweet. A British Pakistani man can break the nose of a female police officer, have the footage go viral, and walk away free.
You can be stabbed by a Sikh and if he says the magic words, the police will handcuff you as you bleed out on the floor.
If you notice and complain, your own government will accuse you of hate. You cannot possibly hate them enough for what they have done to England.

🚨Breaking news: Jury fails to reach a verdict. In other news: Sectarianism kills trial by jury. We’re broken.

Today the voices of division will be loud.
They don't speak for the country I know, one that belongs to all of us.
That's our Britain. A Britain worth fighting for.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.
I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.
Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.
Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.
However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.
I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.
Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.
