Every child, wherever they live, should grow up with opportunity on their doorstep. It was a privilege to walk through the door as Education Secretary to start that work.

Most people know, it’s only Labour that can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. Labour in Manchester is delivering - better buses, more social housing, more GP appointments, more police on the beat. 👇🏻

Andy Burnham has a big bold vision of a country that works better for ordinary people, taking the pressure of family budgets, putting power and agency in the hands of communities. 👇🏻

Only Labour can defeat Reform in this by-election. A vote for any other Party risks letting them in. Manchester is proud of its diversity. Together we must stand against Reform’s division and hate and elect a local Labour MP who will stand up for the values we share.

We won’t out Reform Reform, or out Green the Greens. We’ll be authentically Labour - taking the pressure of people’s lives and rewiring the country so it works for the many not the few. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning on the BBC.

Speaking to Nick Robinson for Political Thinking on Today on why I’m standing to be a full time Deputy Leader - being clear about whose side we are on, being a bridge between the movement & leadership, lifting the 2-child limit, the atrocities in Gaza and telling a unifying story

The only way to protect ourselves from oil and gas price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets and onto clean homegrown power. That’s the mission of this Labour Government. #BBCQT

Today could have been a significant day … it's the last day the general election could have been under Tories. How different things might have been & worse for the country by now if they’d gone on. Thankfully Rishi Sunak called quits and went early. My Business statement today

Here's what the Renters Rights Act delivers for renters from today 👇 ✅ Ends Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions. ✅ Introduces rolling tenancies. ✅ Limits rent increases to once a year. ✅ Bans rent bidding & rent in advance. ✅ Makes discrimination against renters who have children or receive social security illegal.

The Conservatives don’t like to hear it, but we found a £22bn black hole in the country’s finances for this year, which the OBR didn’t know either. We’ve seen what happens when a government is reckless and ignores financial institutions: the economy crashed & the poorest paid the heaviest price. We won’t do that 👇

Transparency and donations rules for MPs are really important. They exist for everyone - it’s not one rule for Farage, another for the rest of us. It’s vital his failure to declare these further gifts are probed.

The stakes are really high in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Manchester gave birth to the trade union movement, home to the suffragettes, grew the coop movement. A city built on equality and community spirit. Only Labour can stop Reform’s Tommy Robinson backed candidate.

If you live in a Labour-run council, your council tax is on average £300 lower. Meanwhile, the Tories are so desperate to out Reform Reform, they’ve become indistinguishable. Today’s Business Questions 👇

The Elections Bill does great things like votes at 16 & tackling foreign donations. It’s also a chance to protect democracy in the digital age. Online platforms play a central role in how people access news, they must accept responsibilities that reflect that influence.
