“Probably the single most ambitious thing about economic devolution that this country has ever seen” Economist Lord O’Neill says Rachel Reeves’ announcement on giving regional bodies more spending powers over income tax is “fabulous news” and has been overlooked #Peston

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

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.

I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

Fly-tipping blights many parts of our city. Only right that the people who make the mess are required to clear it up. 👏👏👏

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.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves vows to stop UK tech from "drifting abroad" bbc.in/47A2OMQ

Sometimes the jokes write themselves. Farage going to Clacton for English Tourism Week. Sounds about right.

I met with tenants at Lightbox Apartments to hear firsthand the shocking and consistent violations of housing rights they’ve suffered under Noble City Living. From weeks without heating or hot water to unsafe doors, faulty alarms, unexplained billing and outright intimidation, nobody should be treated this way. I’ll be raising this urgently in Parliament. Acorn have been doing a great job organising, with members across all Noble's apartment blocks. No one should have to live in these conditions.

Politicians welcome Sheffield £33m government investment in zero-emission buses trib.al/verioag

The government and SYMCA have announced funding for a fleet of 186 new zero-emission buses to replace diesel, which will cut pollution across Sheffield. Great to see Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander here to unveil the plans and another example of what we can achieve when we work together at a regional level. Working together to quite literally give the city a breath of fresh air!

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes bbc.in/4seAibO

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform UK voted against. Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Happy International Women's Day to all the inspiring women striving for fairness and justice in their communities! #IWD2026

Labour changed Britain for women: delivering the Equal Pay Act, Sex Discrimination Act, maternity rights and flexible working. This International Women’s Day, we’re continuing that work, to build a more equal future and to empower women in every corner of the country.

Another great student surgery at the University of Sheffield, with plenty to take forward after conversations around student finance concerns, support for new courses and new opportunities for working with charities. Student finance is becoming a national conversation, and rightly so. Under the current Plan 2 system, many graduates are paying significant monthly amounts but seeing their loan balances rise because interest is tied to the cost of living. And I want to change that.
