Key workers keep London moving. They deserve to live in the city they serve.
That’s why I’m proud to have launched the Key Worker Living Rent scheme, which could save key workers thousands per year in rent.

“It could take years to restore Brexit losses”
Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the ‘reset’ as he threatens.
Honest to god.. it’s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. There’s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot.

Disturbing but unsurprising research on Ofsted.
"Rather than inspections being simply performative, they are performatively harmful, potentially putting children at risk.... teacher suicidal ideation is an urgent issue, Ofsted and DoE have responsibility.

History repeating itself?
UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.
Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.
Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

Horrendous and heartbreaking in equal measure.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare
