Hard work matters. Results matter. That's why the Education Secretary telling young people that the qualifications they got today won't be relevant in ten years isn't just plain wrong, it's downright rude. She’s talking down England’s young people, and she needs to apologise.

Our children need teachers more than private schools need tax breaks. That's why Labour will recruit 6,500 new teachers in key subjects to set children up for life, work and the future, paid for by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy.

Rupert Lowe is no supporter of women. His track record speaks for itself. Only Labour will tackle violence against women and girls.

Thanks to everyone who has been in touch in recent weeks, seems I'm not the only 'spiteful class warrior' out there – here's my new T-shirt haul. I spoke to The News Agents about why I wear the Tories' jibe with pride. You can listen to that here:

The constant chatter about private schools reminds me exactly why I do this job. We’re raising more money than expected, school offer days passed smoothly and we’re investing in state schools. My focus remains on the schools attended by the majority of kids in this country.

The Tories left behind a mess that I've spent the last two years clearing up. In that time, they've come up with one policy: to cut state school budgets to reinstate private school tax breaks. Two years, one policy, no clue.

I stand by my record – including putting us on course for a record reduction in child poverty – and if the Tories think that makes me a 'spiteful class warrior', it tells you everything you need to know about them.

Despite what you've heard this week, we're delivering on our manifesto with over 4,600 teachers recruited into where we need them most – secondaries, special schools and colleges. That's alongside more teachers in training, more rejoining and more staying in our schools.

Nigel Farage has spent the summer chasing a bin around Clacton, but his distraction by-election is over. It’s time for him to come clean on his dodgy £5m ‘gift’, his connections to a convicted fraudster and the rest of the sleaze and scandal engulfing his party.

This is a reminder of what politics is really about. A Labour government delivering for working people and making sure all of our children get the best start in life.

It's time for action to protect vulnerable children. Today Labour brings forward the single biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation. The Tories are trying to block action to keep children safe.

As the school year draws to a close, I want to say thank you to all of our incredible teachers, support staff, teaching assistants and school leaders. Your dedication to breaking the link between background and success for every child is at the heart of our Plan for Change.

10 million free breakfasts served is a massive achievement. It's not just about the breakfast, it's the club too. A softer start to the day that gets children ready to learn and helps parents juggle work and family life.

We have delivered good, Labour things – action on child poverty, strengthening workers’ rights, protections for renters. But we can’t and we shouldn’t pretend the status quo is working. To stop Reform, we have to be bolder and we have to deliver change faster.

Recognising the State of Palestine rights a historic wrong. The mass starvation and killing of civilians in Gaza is morally reprehensible — we must see an immediate ceasefire, a surge in aid and the release of all hostages to begin building a lasting peace.

We want children growing up in our country healthy and happy. With Best Start free breakfast clubs, half a million more children to receive free school meals and new updates to the quality of school food, Labour is setting children up to achieve and thrive.

The Secretary of State says with pride that after 13 years of the Tories running their schools, children would rather be in portacabins. Children are telling her that Tory governments have failed them. Failed to deliver schools fit for children to learn in and staff to work in.

Let me be clear: I take no joy from the decision I've made on fees today. But it's rich to see the Tories' faux outrage, pretending they didn't go into the last election talking down students' ambition and deriding 'mickey mouse' degrees. Do they think we've forgotten already?
