For too long, Britain depended on other countries for energy to power our homes.
Secure, homegrown, clean energy is the only way to take back control of our energy system, deliver jobs across the country and bring down bills for good.
That is exactly what my Plan for Change is delivering.
At the election, Labour promised to hold those who pollute our rivers, lakes and seas to account.
We are delivering on that promise.
As part of Labour’s Plan for Change, polluting water bosses face up to two years in prison.
No-one should be sleeping rough on our streets.
It's freezing outside - and in addition to other services, our emergency shelters are open, across our city, all weekend.
If you see someone sleeping rough who needs help - contact @StreetLink_
1/ This news should alarm us all. The climate crisis is here and now and getting worse. Sticking our head in the sand would be a betrayal of future generations.

Minus 4 degrees ⛄️🧊 but still a wonderful morning out speaking to residents in #GipsyHill.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk on this chilly morning.
Women and girls are facing brutal discrimination in Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban.
Working with international partners we will support action to hold the those responsible to account.
No Govt choses the circumstances in which they come to office. But the Tories left us with the worst inheritance of any post-war Govt:
💷A £22bn black hole in public finances
📈NHS Waiting lists at 7.6 Million
🏡Record low new home approvals
Labour is fixing the foundations.
Standards is the watchword for Labour.
The Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill will get qualified teachers at the front of classrooms, teaching a curriculum that gets children ready for work, ready for life.
Pragmatic reform to drive high & rising standards across all schools.

City Hall has announced £4.8m of additional investment to provide support for people previously sleeping rough.
This support will help people access financial advice, apply for benefits and use public services to help them stay off the streets for good.
Wind power has overtaken gas as Britain’s biggest source of electricity.
This is a huge moment in our journey away from energy insecurity and towards clean homegrown power.

The Conservative line seems to be: “you had 14 years in opposition, why is it taking you longer than six months to clean up our mess?”
Well, it’ll take longer than six months, but the work is underway and we’ll get Britain on the road to recovery in 2025.
This Labour Government is choosing investment over decline.
We’re choosing to rebuild Britain and fix our public services.
The Tories would choose to cut public services.
Today over 100,000 former mineworkers across the UK received a 32% uplift in their pensions.
I am proud that we have ended the injustice of the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme.
That’s the difference a Labour government makes to our coalfield communities.

It’s an incredible honour to have been asked to take on this role. @LouHaigh was formidable. I will do all I can to ensure we have a transport system that drives economic growth, connects our communities and protects the environment. A mammoth task ahead.
