Happy May Day! 🚩
For the first time in British history, shopworkers are specifically protected from assault and abuse at work – a protection won with help from @UsdawUnion and co-operative societies, and delivered by @UKLabour & Co-operative MPs.
📆 An end to fixed term tenancies. All tenancies will default to being a monthly rolling contract.
🐕 More rights for your pets. Landlords must consider pet requests fairly.
🗓️ Landlords will have to give at least four months notice when ending a tenancy to sell.
🚫 No more bidding wars. It will be illegal to request, encourage or accept offers above the set price.
🚫 Landlords will not be allowed to ask for more than one month’s rent upfront.
🚫 No more “no-fault” evictions. All evictions will require valid grounds.
I was on the @MartinSLewis show last night talking about how we’re protecting vulnerable households from energy price spikes.
The cost of living is the number one issue families are facing at the moment, and we’re determined to act.
When I became Education Secretary, I said we'd drive a sea change in the way we approached the early years. These stats show progress:
Childcare costs halved
Working parents now saving £8,000 a year
Cost of a childcare place dropped back to 2005 levels

We're hearing loads of stories like this from women and men who have experienced frightening safety incidents at @TravelodgeUK hotels. Their CEO must come out of hiding and appear before MPs to discuss how they are fixing this issue.
@BBCBreakfast My daughter and her friend stayed @TravelodgeUK and a member of staff, a male, pestered them for #sex and he banged on their door and frightened them both.
Was reported. This was 4 years ago and nothing was done about it and now this.
Why are you still allowing this to happen??
I'm disappointed that the CEO of @TravelodgeUK did not turn up to yesterday's meeting to listen to MPs concerned about women’s safety in their hotels.
I hope there will be opportunities in the future to understand the steps the hotel industry are taking to address VAWG.
Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down.
I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel.
Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again.
My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.
We're shocked to learn this. This is a lapse of judgement by @TravelodgeUK's executive leadership -- almost as bad as offering a token voucher to a survivor of sexual violence in lieu of what took place in their Maidenhead hotel.
I cannot understand why @TravelodgeUK CEO has cancelled the scheduled MP meeting to discuss this today.
I’m pleased the PM just raised this at PMQs.
Women need to know they are safe when they sleep.
Travelodge should have no issue providing this assurance as a minimum.
