Great to see @SadiqKhan making the case for bringing cross-Channel services to Stratford International.

This would be a game changer for local communities, increasing connectivity, boosting jobs, and attracting investment.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Stratford is one of Europe’s great regeneration success stories. It’s ready for its next chapter - European rail links.

I’m proud to say I’m working with the government to deliver new cross-Channel trains from East London. The benefits would be felt far beyond our city.

More than 325,000 people in supported and temporary housing can keep more of what they earn under reforms taking effect today.

Social Security minister @stephenctimms said the change removes a cliff edge that could leave people worse off when they increased their hours.

“For too long, the system has been doing the opposite of what it should,” he said.

Local faith groups around the world know best how to tackle the issues their communities face - from climate change to conflict. 🌎🌟

We took that message to the Labour Conference, standing alongside @ChrLeft, @christian_aid, @Tearfund, and @CAFOD!

Families who lose a loved one to mesothelioma or another occupational dust disease will get the same government compensation as sufferers, Social Security and Disability Minister Sir Stephen Timms has announced.

At present dependants can receive less if the sufferer dies before a claim is completed: around £10,700 on average, against £17,700 for sufferers. The new rules close that £7,000 gap.

Timms said families "deserve our support, not a system that treats them as an afterthought". The regulations are due to take effect on 31 October, subject to Parliament.

It was a real honour to partner with @FaithLabour and @CAPuk for this year’s Faith Reception at Labour Conference, featuring incredible speakers including @FloEshalomi, @Georgia_Gould, @stephenctimms, @zubirahmed, and @russrook. 💙

When people voted Labour in 2024, they wanted the sort of policies @andyburnham announced today. Labour is on the side of ordinary working people and I'll work with Andy and his government to make sure Newham benefits from this strong, principled Labour government

⚖️ Labour MP Stephen Timms has announced changes to deliver fairer compensation for families of people who die from mesothelioma and other dust-related diseases.

The reforms are intended to address inequalities in the compensation system and ensure bereaved families receive greater financial support following the loss of a loved one to work-related disease.

The move is about fairness for victims, dignity for their families and recognising the devastating legacy of occupational illness.

Absolutely rammed reception with @TrussellUK and @jrf_uk, discussing how we can tackle poverty and end the need for food banks.

Thanks for @Alison_McGovern, @stephenctimms and @ChrisWebbMP for joining.

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

This is very welcome news from @patmcfaddenmp, Secretary of State for Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). We know young people with a learning disability are disproportionately likely to not have a job, not have access to training or be let down by the education system.

[Forhad Hussain @4Hussain]

Today I told the @LGA_Labour rally how @newham_labour are fighting for our residents, putting Labour's values into action and winning back voters.

[Pat McFadden @patmcfaddenmp]

Expansion of Jobs Guarantee to put young disabled people at the front of the queue.

This is the kind of change we need.

What an amazing day at Newham Mayor’s Street Party 2026! 🎉❤️
A beautiful celebration of the diversity of Newham, bringing together people from so many different communities, cultures and backgrounds.
This is what Newham is about — different communities coming together as one.

[James Asser MP @JamesAsser]

I was in Silvertown this week to visit Gee & Ivan at The Tate Institute

Built as the social club for sugar refinery workers. It was a valued community space but has been empty for years

REinsTate are restoring the building in a sustainable way, bringing it back to the community
