As a former trade union rep, I'm really pleased that unions & businesses have come together to get the Employment Rights Bill passed.
Stronger working relationships are more productive.
Good for workers, good for businesses, good for growth.

Reducing energy bills by £150 per household. This helps us all.
But it *especially* helps the poorest and the squeezed middle.
Because essentials cost you more the lower your income 👇

The two-child limit led to shocking numbers of children going hungry.
That's why we're abolishing it.
It was introduced in 2017. The number of food bank parcels *tripled* after its introduction.
No ifs. No buts. No child should be going hungry in Britain.

Our pro-business measures will get productivity and wages rising again.
Cutting industrial energy bills, getting business rates down on our high streets, an industrial strategy that invests in our country.
After 14 years of zero productivity and wage growth.

The OBR has got their key judgements wrong for 14 years. Consistently underestimating the impact of public spending (cuts) on growth.
Today they’ve released the forecast document early.
Completely unacceptable.

Happy Budget Day Everyone!
The UK faces three (existential) crises:
1. Affordability
2. Climate
3. Military
We have to meet all three to help this nation survive.

This is such a great thread from my friend, Ruth. Do read.
This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!
Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!
This was done despite fierce opposition.

Our voter coalition is fracturing. But we *can* win them back.
Read this 🧵 and article to find out how
1) We've lost half our vote - 20% to Green/Lib Dem, 20% to Don't Know, and 10% to Reform
We need to get *all* these voters back. And we can.

🌊 Good News: The canal has been lowered in Loughborough 🌊
This was agreed at my flooding roundtable and it is brilliant to see this in action so quickly.
Thank you to CRT and the EA for collaborating on this.
However, water levels are still rising – we need to prepare in case floods do come.

Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in service of our country and express thanks for all our brave personnel who still serve.
I remember, in particular, all those from Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages who have served.
We will never forget their sacrifice and service.

Significant fall in gilt rate this morning.
They fell of today's labour market stats. Markets think it more likely MPC will cut rates at next meeting.
Again, no changes in fiscal policy this morning.
