The UK's largest solar farm has today been approved by the government.

Tillbridge Solar Project in Lincolnshire has potential for up to 500MW of energy - equivalent for 300,000 homes.

I believe it's the 13th approval by this government for major solar and wind projects.

For 14 years, the Tories failed to build the homes this country needed.

With Labour, they are slashing delays & getting Britain building faster.

Tories put barriers to getting on the housing ladder, held back economic growth & doubled homelessness.

Labour will smash down those barriers.

Just had a thought, did FarRage’s bestie Tommy 10 names Robinson pay for his Frinton house? All that cash swilling around in his Bentley? Was it the left over spare change?

Yesterday the Bus Services (No2) Bill completed its process through Parliament.

It now goes to the King for Royal Assent, when it becomes law.

As well as overturning the ban on public ownership of bus companies, it gives local authorities more power over who runs buses, fares, routes & timetables.

What's this?

An actual media story being positive about the real achievements the Labour government are making towards delivering their manifesto.

I know many of you already know this fact, but isn't it good to see someone in the media reporting it?

Thank you @politicsjoe.bsky.social

Greater Anglia services come back under public ownership today.

It now puts a third of all passenger journeys under control of the DFTO.

Dates for most other services to follow have been set and eventually services will transfer to GB Railways (following legislation)

Meanwhile House Republicans adjourned another pro forma session. For the sixth time they’ve refused to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump is determined to keep them hidden!
