Moving the motion on NHS Dentistry at Labour Party Conference was a “pinch me moment” and a great opportunity to highlight issues with the current system. It was great to have the ear of @wesstreeting, @SKinnock and @karinsmyth and I can’t wait to see what happens next #Lab25

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.

Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.

It’s completely unforgivable.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I promised we would fix our broken railways.

Today Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express return to public ownership. Run for the public good, not private profit.

This Labour government is putting passengers first.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

This would be the definition of insanity

NEW:

Andy Burnham is wargaming holding a snap general election if he wins Makerfield and becomes Prime Minister.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Tony Blair might not like my plan, but he's wrong: it's changing Britain for the better.

Nobody for a second has spared a thought to the hard-working Labour Party staff who now have to deal with this nonsense with yet another by-election and internal drama

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

🌟 The NHS waiting list dropped by a record amount in the month of March.

⬇️ It's fallen by 110,000.

✅ We're turning the NHS around through record investment and modernising services across the country.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

In a day we should be talking about this, we’re talking about our party’s ridiculous psychodrama

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

Solid growth of 0.6% in UK economy at start of year Jan-March, even taking in the first month of Iran War. Compares well internationally… some clear resilience shown here… though there has been a pattern of strong starts to years which then fade.

[Connor Naismith MP @connor_naismith]

The independent ethics adviser was clear that Angela acted in good faith and with integrity, and it's good to see HMRC reach the same conclusion.

I'm really pleased to see Angela exonerated in this way and hope this means her and her family can move on.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

Hypocrite of the worst kind. This so called “man of the people” dodging tax then pledging to after tax dodgers. He’s absolutely not qualified or equipped to be in public office

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

From the get go, certain people have briefed against Keir, chiefly Andy Burnham who allowed a by-election and Conference 2025 to be all about him. Burnham promised to serve his full term until 2028, he should focus on that instead of stroking his ego with petty game playing

"The longer this drags on the more damage it does to the government," Labour MP Clive Lewis tells #PoliticsLive

Andy Burnham "isn’t tainted" by this government, he says, as he adds his backing to the Greater Manchester mayor

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

I’m a big fan of Angela but this statement massively forgets one huge thing. Rightly, the decision on cutting WFA has been criticised but she was Deputy PM when the decision was made. Collective responsibility means you cannot just own the good parts and distance from the bad

[PoliticsJOE @PoliticsJOE_UK]

🚨🚨

Angela Rayner makes an intervention after Labour’s local election wipeout.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

The exact right lesson to learn and tone to strike from the Local Elections. The government is doing some very good things but undeniably has made mistakes. We have to show who we are for and we need to deliver tangible change in working people’s everyday lives

[ITVPolitics @ITVNewsPolitics]

After Labour lost more than 1,000 seats across England, Wes Streeting said: “There's no doubt that with the message that the voters have sent us… that the government bears a huge degree of responsibility for good Labour people losing.”

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Labour has achieved more than Reform UK has even proposed.

Chapter 1 of the book entitled “Things that Never Happened”…

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Restore Britain is refusing a large number of councillors who wish to defect to Restore Britain.

There is a stringent selection process, and plenty have failed that.

Standards.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

This is absolutely appalling. All people in public office should be able to get on without intimidation and harassment. People from all sides should condemn this

[Connor Naismith MP @connor_naismith]

This evening, while attempting to carry out my duties as the Member of Parliament, to do media interviews to give more information about the situation at Webb House, my staff and I were followed and subjected to serious harassment, abuse and intimidation...

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Our latest Party Election Broadcast cannot be shown in full on TV. But we think you should see it anyway - uncensored. https://t.co/bp91qJnyP2

[Darren Jones MP @darrenpjones]

We are investing in new rail, roads, and nuclear reactors.


New scanners for our hospitals and free breakfast clubs for our children.

We’re not going to let the Conservatives - or their friends in Reform - tear that down.

[Josh Simons @joshsimonsmp]

What an absolute load of garbage. Good to be reminded that class is never dead in Britain.

Birth guarantees zero command of history. Some of those I know who most cherish and retell our history grew up on council estates.

[James 🌹 @James_HSSmith]

Worst kind of pathetic politics to generate clips to put on social media. It’s interesting to see her and Lee Anderson play the same tactic on the same day. The horseshoe theory in action…
