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.

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.

@friends-earth.bsky.social

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.

@thetcpa.bsky.social

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.

Nature is at breaking point—real Labour values will rescue it.

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!"

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.

Leaseholders are being exploited in every corner of North East Hertfordshire.

One constituent put it plainly: “They’re making people’s lives miserable.”

The harder wealthy landowners fight leasehold reform, the clearer its necessity.

Labour will deliver for leaseholders.

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.

Labour must end this scandal fast.
