Climate change is driving 40% of UK food price hikes.
Protecting households from spiralling costs of living means protecting the planet.
It's time to kick the expensive fossil fuel habit and accelerate the shift towards heating & powering Britain with efficient renewables.

Labour is lifting 450,000 children out of poverty.
Almost half a million kids that will be healthier, happier and better educated.
This means a more productive, prosperous Britain. It's that simple.

Hospices are being forced to cut services due to lack of funds.
They don't just offer medical care—they provide dignity at life's hardest moments.
That support must be safeguarded.
Tomorrow's Budget must deliver sustainable funding—no more papering over the cracks.

Israel is blocking a million bottles of baby formula from entering Gaza.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians—including children, face imminent starvation.
Our Government’s action must match the urgency of this moment.
Immediate, widespread sanctions on Israel.

Today, Labour is putting passengers before profit.
For the first time in 30 years, rail fares are to be frozen—saving commuters hundreds and easing the cost of living.
Public ownership of our train services will put an end to extortionate price hikes.

Who owns Britain? Mostly aristocrats, oligarchs and big corporations.
Inheritance tax changes won’t touch their corporations and trusts that never die.
Labour should go after these wealthy landowners—not family farmers so vital to food security and climate action.

Sewage in rivers. Toxic waste near homes. Pollution in the air.
In one of the wealthiest countries in the world—people shouldn’t have to live like this.
I'm delighted Friends of the Earth back my Charter for Community Rights—a path to a fairer, greener future.

The status quo leaves people feeling powerless. Change is done to communities, not with them—leaving areas unfit for happy lives.
Time to flip the script.
The Charter for Community Rights puts power in local hands, enabling access to nature, healthy homes and liveable places.

The two-child benefit cap forces 109 children into poverty every day.
It punishes kids for circumstances they can’t control and takes food out of their mouths.
Labour values aren’t just words—they’re a call to action. Scrap the cap.

Communities are routinely at the mercy of profit-chasing companies and dodgy developers.
Cuts to bus routes, unaffordable housing, trashed green spaces—too often wealth decides everything.
A Charter for Community Rights will give people real power to shape their neighbourhoods.

Developers have no right to trash our environment—it doesn’t belong to them.
Labour has always understood access to nature is for the many, not a privilege for the few.
We created National Parks and the Green Belt.

There is no conflict between housebuilding and nature—the real conflict is between greed and the kind of country we want.
Planning deregulation lets developers put profit before people: cutting quality, hiking prices, and leaving families waiting for council homes.

If we want our national pride back, our political class needs to spend less energy scapegoating refugees and put more into cracking down on flagrant criminal pollution of our countryside.
"Oh dear, what a shame, never mind" isn't good enough. Time for "you're nicked, mate!"

Hospices are on the brink.
I’ve signed @hospiceuk.bsky.social's letter to the Secretary of State calling for fully funded equitable palliative care, proper NHS contracts and funding for NHS pay rises for hospice staff.
It's time to recognise hospices as a vital cornerstone of our health service.

Nature and housing can go hand in hand.
We’ve seen it in the past with garden cities—and now towns planned within a new forest.
They show what’s possible.
Empower councils to build sustainable council housing that puts people and nature before profit.

Baldock in North East Hertfordshire is set to double in size—but our train station still lacks step-free access.
That’s not how you build communities that foster happy, connected lives.
New homes must come with solid infrastructure, investment, and services that keep pace with growth.

Today I asked the Prime Minister to support Garden House Hospice in Letchworth.
Hospices don’t just provide care, they offer comfort in people’s final days.
Our welfare state must support us from birth to end of life—hospices shouldn't have to fundraise just to keep the lights on.

This Armistice Day I paid tribute to our fallen soldiers at memorials in Royston, Buntingford and Braughing.
The sacrifice of youth and futures cut short will always mark our nation.
Few exemplify this more than Rupert Brooke, whose poem "The Soldier" I read at the Johnson Matthey service.

Leasehold is the worst kind of parasitic exploitation.
Hardworking homeowners ripped off by offshore financiers and aristocratic landowners.
We need an economy that rewards those who work for a living—not the rich who exploit them.
