This last week I’ve visited every region & nation in Britain - telling Labour’s story.

Today I am taking part in the Committee Stage of the Bus Services Bill, which brings back lots of the ability to run bus services that were removed by the Thatcher government’s privatisation.
Looking forward to speaking on it, informed by #Exeter residents, this afternoon.

So pleased to hear that - as promised in our manifesto - this Labour government will review maternity, paternity and parental leave.
Every mum and dad I know wants to spend more time with their kids. Current entitlements are out of step with modern families. We’ll fix them

Delighted we’re expanding free school meals to 500,000 new schoolchildren.
Also great to catch up with Devon County Council yesterday to discuss their new plan to auto-enroll all eligible children into FSMs - something I asked them to do in January.

🚨 NEW: Labour is lifting 100,000 children out of poverty by expanding access to free school meals.
Alongside free breakfast clubs, cheaper uniform costs and government-funded childcare, Labour is putting money in parents’ pockets and giving children the best start in life.
