First time representing the Government at Treasury Questions yesterday. Looking forward to helping the Tories understand that unless we deliver secure, home-grown renewable energy through cheap renewable generation, there is no energy security ahead.

The last quarter of a century tells a clear story: pensioner poverty halved under the last Labour Government, but it rose by 300,000 under the Conservatives. That is their legacy.

At a time when politics feels divisive, it's important to hold onto what really matters. 👉 Half a million kids out of poverty 👉 Ground rent capped at £250 👉 Sick pay for low earners 👉 Zero hour contracts banned Real answers. Real change.

Tony Blair is right about the politics of the 2020s, but his essay doesn't have a project that fits what the country needs today. Britain's economy is being held back by collapsing public services. From energy to health, we must become a country that invests in our future again.

The two-child cap pushed half of children in larger families into poverty. Today, Labour abolishes it. I stood for office to stop drawing charts and start changing them. This change will see the biggest drop in child poverty of any parliament on record. Know what that is? Hope.

This is staggering. Real wages have grown more in the first 10 months of this Labour government than during the first ten years of Tory governments since 2010. And not one apology from Conservative MPs for the mess they left us in today - shameful.

What's going on with the economy? Four interest rate cuts, three trade deals, and faster wage growth in 10 months with Labour than under 10 years of the Tories. That's what.

This week, thousands of people in Swansea will have more money in their pockets because the state pension and National Living Wage are going up. No one's pretending the cost of living is now solved. But we're on the right track 👇

After today, the child poverty charts I spent 15 years looking at rise under the Conservatives will be coming down. Not in a chart - in Swansea and every other part of the country. Life is more complicated now. But I'll take that any day.
