As the proud grandson of a toolmaker - grandad Alf Bent worked at the Linotype factory in Broadheath - I'm delighted that Progressive Britain have published my second blog on #SocialMobility. This time, I look at what's in the Labour Manifesto. @progbrit https://t.co/YHNQo0u9Bp
This is the difference this Labour government is making.
Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.
An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.
I know that Jewish people, and everyone experiencing discrimination, need action not words.
Together with NHS England, we'll waste no time in setting Lord Mann’s recommendations in motion to build a health service that lives up to its founding values.
NEETs crisis, keeping kids safe online, young victims, youth justice - childhood is under the spotlight. It’s vital we listen to young people. That’s why I want a million children to do my #TheBigFuture survey. I shared what I’ve heard so far with @TrevorPTweets@SkyNews 👇🏻
My office is recruiting a new youth advisory board for the Department for Education, for young people aged 16-18 years to share their experiences and views on AI in education, and to help shape policy. More details 👇https://t.co/H3kh2PGbHY
I commissioned Alan Milburn’s work because more opportunity for young people should be a national cause.
We have begun with the Youth Guarantee. This powerful report shows we need to do all we can to put work and opportunity at the heart of what we do. https://t.co/Vo8XuJZTXD
🔎 Almost a third of private school bursaries and scholarships go to the wealthiest families, a new study by @UCL has found.
It reveals that around 30% go to high-income households, 18% to middle-income households, and just 17% to lower-income households ⤵️

For the record:
▪️I opposed Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014
▪️I called on FIFA to strip Russia of the 2018 World Cup
▪️I have resolutely supported Ukraine and Ukrainian Mayors since 2022
▪️I believe the British Right’s closeness to Putin is a risk to our national security
Sarah Taylor was one of Andy’s constituents when her daughter, Nadia, was abducted to Libya in 2007.
He helped to get her back.
This is their incredible story.
Thanks @bbclaurak for having me on. Today we had to address incredibly difficult issues facing children so I’m glad we ended on a message of hope.
Young people are ambitious for themselves which is why I'm asking them what they need for the best future: https://t.co/Q1az42jzLI
The Labour family is united in wanting Andy Burnham to win the #Makerfield by-election on 18 June. Ace to be at his campaign launch, in blazing sunshine. Andy was pitch perfect explaining where he’s from, who he’s for, and why this matters. Vote Andy, for us. @andy4makerfield
Today we think of everyone affected by the attack in Manchester on the night of the 22nd May 2017, and particularly the families who lost loved-ones, knowing that every single day of the nine years since has been hard for them.
We are still at their side and always will be. 🐝
The U.S. & UK continue to have a close defense relationship, and it now also includes sharing in the celebrations to mark our 250th anniversary! We're delighted the @rafredarrows accepted the U.S. military’s invite for a series of special events this summer. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I sense that this is out of temper with the times but, for once, I am on Rachel Reeves’s side. Civility matters in politics and, if we stop policing the boundaries, things slide very quickly. I’m afraid I don’t see it as remotely brave to shout at a woman while you drive away.
The Nova Festival exhibition tells a raw story. Love, horror and hope.
It’s intensely powerful.
You will not regret going.
