Grateful to Ben & Henry from the Environment Agency for accompanying me to meet with residents in Dallington Village & take a look at the riverbanks in St James.

It’s critical that our local communities are properly protected from flood risk & I’ll continue to work with all to that end.

The Local Power Plan isn't just about community-owned energy. It's a glimpse of a different economy.

Local power starts here. Place by place. Community by community.

As Ed Miliband MP explained in Parliament yesterday, the Local Power Plan is about more than energy. It's about putting power, wealth and opportunity in community hands.

Tonight, Labour MPs voted to scrap the two child limit – a move that puts us on course to drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against it.

Today, we commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day, remembering the millions killed during the Holocaust and other genocides, and all those who have had their lives impacted by these events.

We must resist hatred wherever it grows, and remember that we've got more in common than divides us.

Economic secretary to the Treasury @lucyrigby.bsky.social says talents evenly distributed, opportunity isn’t - denying people opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Unlocking that’s only way to restore balanced growth - and faith in the state and politics itself.
