This is a political failure of the current & last govt, and a regulatory one. The solution is simple... BAN (ABOVE INFLATION) MID CONTRACT PRICE HIKES.
- They took too long to tackle mid-contract above inflation price rises
- When Ofcom did, it just said 'mid contract rises are ok, if you say in £s at sign-up what it'll be'. This has resulted in even bigger % above inflation hikes.
You might have heard the rumours, it's time to reveal what we are working on.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.
I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.
Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.
Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.
However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.
I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.
Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

Small correction here.
You don’t need to reach a core temperature of 102.3°F to activate HSP expression. And you definitely don’t need to sit in a 200°F sauna for 30 minutes.
The research shows HSP expression can increase by ~50% after 30 minutes at 163°F, with core body temperature rising to only about 101°F.
Sauna benefits (even those related to HSPs) don’t require extreme heat or pushing core temperature that high.
Not a single pro team / player thinks having this change in the middle of the season is a good idea
It’s not like this was even that big of a pain point for most players who can’t even last hit
Who is this change for?!
Buy a train ticket from London to Manchester three weeks in advance. Costs you more than a return flight to Spain.
Get to Euston, the board flips to delayed. Then cancelled. Then 'we're sorry to announce this service has been altered.'
Stand on the platform with a few hundred other people while a bloke on a microphone reads out a list of stations that no longer exist on your journey. Half the platform is sat on the floor.
The replacement bus turns up 90 minutes later. You arrive at midnight. The compensation form online is 18 questions long and ends with 'this delay was partially weather related, no compensation due.'
The trains keep getting more expensive every year. The reliability never quite keeps up. Nobody in charge seems particularly bothered.
Saw Project Hail Mary last night and the only thing I’ll say is that there’s one scene where Ryan Gosling’s character runs two samples in a fully unbalanced centrifuge. Someone needs to be fired for that
No wonder those cowardly Reform defectors are too scared to go to the polls. I just had my best by-election result yet. Against bloody Kit Harington! I am binevitable. #Industry
Different generation man. In year 8 someone showed my a Liveleaks video from Brazil of a man’s head being blown off on a Blackberry Bold and I just had to firm it 😭😭😭😭😭
