Greens side with developer: We are disappointed that Hackney Greens voted down our motion at the Full Council to keep our promise to Woodberry Down residents not to have to suffer moving twice. We will continue fighting for residents who wanted one move. https://t.co/vts4S1f7yI

You know that feeling when you book a flight for 50 quid and somehow it ends up costing 100?

Getting seats together, correcting a typo, another charge here and there, it all adds up.

When the cost of living is already squeezing people, those endless extras can feel relentless.

So we're changing the rules for you.

Parents won't need to pay a penny extra just to sit next to their own children.

You'll be able to fix any name errors on your booking free of charge.

And because the last thing you want once you're on the plane is more stress, we're working with the industry to make sure that disruptive passengers who have been banned from one airline can be banned from flying with other airlines too.

I know holidays are expensive and these are small things, but hopefully they'll make your trip just that little bit cheaper and easier.

That's exactly the kind of thing I want this government to keep on fixing.

In the next Parliament, Labour will build a National Care Service. This will be the biggest change to the provision of care in Britain since we established our NHS in the 1940s.

At Labour Party Conference, Prime Minister Andy Burnham explained why.

Everyone knows that Britain’s social care system is broken. And for decades, politicians have failed to fix it. That’s left millions of older people facing care costs which are too much to bear, and living in conditions which are not up to scratch.

It’s also increased pressure on our NHS. Visit any hospital and you will see the impact: older people who should be supported at home forced into A&E, and beds occupied by people who could leave hospital, but can’t get access to the help they need as they recover.

We won’t let this system continue.

So, the Labour way of looking after older people in our country will be a fundamental change.

By setting up a National Care Service, we’ll build a way of delivering care with the same principles as the NHS: where everyone contributes and everyone is covered.

Older people will be able to access good quality, free personal care with support for their needs. And our National Care Service will deliver care in the home wherever possible, giving older people the respect they deserve.

We’ll pay for it by adjusting the triple lock.

The triple lock will stay the same throughout this parliament. Labour pledged it in our manifesto and we’ll keep that promise.

From April 2030, we’ll adjust it, but it will always continue to rise. We will guarantee that the state pension will rise every year by either inflation or by 2.5% - whichever is higher.

Nobody’s pension will go down, and the state pension will be on a sustainable footing for the years to come.

We will start laying the groundwork for the National Care Service now, and introduce it in the next Parliament.

So this is Labour’s deal.

A state pension that rises every year.

And a high-quality National Care Service to give peace of mind in later life.

Social housing gives families security. So pleased to talk to @AngelaRayner about the progress we're making here in Camden.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

London is the wild west when it comes to e-bikes for hire. I welcome the government's plans to give cities powers to better manage e-bikes, but London can't afford further delays.

We’re working with the government and operators now to speed up the process.

[Ben Lucas @benlucas94]

What an excellent and inspiring week up in Liverpool for @UKLabour #LPC26.

As @andyburnham said, when we pull together as one, there is nothing our country can’t do!

[Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood]

This Government will reopen the UK Resettlement Route in partnership with the United Nations.

We will take vulnerable refugees from camps across the world and give them the chance of a new and better life here in Britain.

With the first arrivals beginning this year.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Labour is bringing about a new age of industrialisation for Britain.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Great to be at @thefabians, speaking about the values that drive us: solidarity, equality, social justice - and building a fairer society for everyone.

[LGA Labour @LGA_Labour]

Huge thanks to everyone who came to our rally for local government. So good to hear from so many excellent speakers, 💪🌹 #Lab26 @AngelaRayner @_petermason @JimfromOldham @FloEshalomi @BellaSankey @shah_arooj @vincemaple @Eamonn_OB @4Hussain @elledodd @bevcraig

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

A positive day at Labour Party Conference.

Announcements on dealing with bogus self-employment, about owning our rail rolling-stock and bringing public services back in house.

And I made the case for the great creative industries sector in Middlesbrough.

This is what a Labour Government does.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Enough is enough.

For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti’s cancellations, delays, overcrowding, and a service that has failed them time and time again.

So my Labour government is bringing Avanti West Coast into public ownership at the earliest opportunity in March next year.

That means passengers, not shareholders, will come first.

More investment, fewer delays, and a renewed focus on getting the basics right.

We're putting essential services back in public hands and building a railway that actually works for the people who use it.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

London’s Irish community is such an important part of the life and character of our city. The contribution Irish Londoners make - economically, culturally and socially - is enormous.

Such a brilliant atmosphere at @labourirish tonight 🇮🇪

[Ben Lucas @benlucas94]

Great to do a special @parkrunUK at @UKLabour conference in Liverpool.

Parkrun brings benefits to so many people’s physical and mental health in Hackney and across the country.

Thanks to @Sky and @parkrun for hosting the session.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I am determined to be the one to fix our social care system.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A new, publicly-owned bus company for London - with routes, fares and timetables set for the benefit of Londoners and visitors, not for private profit.

The first route run by Buses for London will start next year.

Reform is not on your side. Labour is.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Let's be honest.

A lot of young people have stopped believing they'll ever own their own home.

That's what happens when rents are high, house prices are high, and saving for a deposit feels impossible.

My Labour government is stepping in to help.

With Your First Home, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%.

Because hard work and saving should count for something.

And because the dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.

London 🤝 New York

With @SadiqKhan and @ZohranKMamdani, our cities are showing how progressive leadership can deliver for working-class communities.

A brilliant NYC climate week sharing ideas and building partnerships to help deliver a fairer London for everyone.
