📢Everyone should have the right to a contract that reflects the hours they actually work. Labour’s manifesto promised this right for all workers.

⚠️But employers have been lobbying hard to limit it to people on low-hours contracts, and unfortunately the Government is proposing to go along with this. 1/3 https://t.co/bvUzu2FTyS

London is open to African investment, talent and innovation. One of the fastest-growing regions in the world, Africa’s role in global trade will continue to rise.

Today’s London-Africa Business Summit is about jobs, investment & opportunity in London and across African markets.

🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most.

We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Bonus good news: the future of teaching looks really promising.

Today’s stats show one of the lowest rates of teachers leaving their jobs on record.

There’s also been a 13% rise in people training to teach, smashing recruitment targets in subjects like maths and science.

Today we're stepping up the fight against prostate cancer.

Black men face a significantly higher risk of developing and dying from the disease.

That’s why we're taking action by ensuring all eligible Black men are invited to join a vital new trial. Early diagnosis saves lives✅

We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.

10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.

10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.

Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹

1/ NEW: The net zero economy is now supporting:

✅Over 1m jobs
✅£105bn in GVA
✅22,000 small businesses

This analysis from @CBItweets is a reminder that net zero is a great British success story. And exactly why this Government is doubling down.

Cleaners only have 8 minutes to clean an entire train - because they're employed by outsourcing companies that put profits ahead of workers and passengers.

We know how to fix inequality. We just need the guts to do it again.

@garyseconomics speaking at #ChangeNOW 🤝
Full speech coming soon.

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

On @Channel4News this evening discussing my new book, The Common Good Economy, with @JackieLongc4. Links to watch online in replies.

The crises we face—from the climate, water, and biodiversity crises to health and digital inequalities—are not isolated market failures. They are the product of an economic system organised around the wrong assumptions. The Common Good Economy sets out the framework for a fundamental shift: from reactive corrections to proactive, shared objectives, where how we govern our economy matters as much as the goals we set.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The Tories waged an ideological war on the idea of social housing, leaving many families stranded without support.

This Labour government is ending that so everyone, no matter their background or circumstance, can have a secure place of their own.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

NEW: Landlords and courts will get new powers to evict domestic abuse perpetrators from social homes, without the victim having to leave first.

Under legislation introduced by this government, perpetrators will no longer be able to use social housing as a weapon of control.

That's alongside building more homes and reforming the Right to Buy scheme, all part of our reforms to deliver stability for families in social housing.

The money you spend on your ticket will now go back into fixing your train. Not a shareholder’s yacht.

This is what we were elected to do.
