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.

Blackpool Jobs Fair was praised by Work and Pensions Secretary @patmcfaddenmp amid national concern about nearly 1 million young people not in education, employment or training. I asked if he agreed that this approach could be a game changer for towns like Blackpool. 🗼

Labour has halved the cost of childcare, and now we’re doing even more to make high-quality early years education more accessible and affordable. We’re cutting the cost of living and giving children the best start in life. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Tories reduced face to face appointments to almost zero when in power. They then agreed new contracts embedding the reduction just months before the election. Now they attack their own record and legacy while we sort out what they left behind.
Helen Whately MP@Helen_Whately

Government could save £2bn by bringing back face-to-face PIP assessments. Ministers say they're doing that, but the numbers tell a different story. So do the empty assessment centres. Time to get a grip of the benefits bill.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mums. My own mum came from Donegal and made a new life, raising seven children and working hard all her life. And now my own kids have a brilliant and wonderful mum for whom we are all thankful every day. 🌹
