Families are struggling with their energy bills and this VAT cut to electricity will give some breathing space this winter.

My focus now is working to bring bills down for good.

[Heidi Alexander MP @Heidi_Labour]

Delighted to be re-appointed Transport Secretary.

First rail fares freeze in 30 years. 9 train operators in public ownership. 5 more coming. A new Road Safety Strategy. Northern Powerhouse Rail on its way. Free bus travel for kids this August.

Lots done. Lots more to do!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I said I would give people a bit more breathing space.

Today I’m taking immediate action - cutting taxes on energy bills to put more money in your pocket.

It is the greatest privilege to be appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by the Prime Minister.

Together, we will build a new economy, build new hope and advance the working people of this country.

Time to get on with the job.

[Lou Macari @LouMacari10]

I want to wish our new PM all the very best with his pledge today to end rough sleeping in the UK. A huge task, but one worthy of his attention

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

And with that…. We have a new Prime Minister!

I wish @andyburnham well, and I am delighted he will serve as the first ever @UKLabour and @CoopParty Prime Minister, especially as we go into our centenary year in 2027 as sister party to the Labour Party.

And what an iconic front page of the @MENnewsdesk today. 🌹🐝
