When I say we will act, I mean it.
This consultation matters - that’s why I want to hear from as many people as possible, before it ends today:

“In every Industrial Revolution there are great fears... do you shape the technology to work for all… or do you try and stop it?”

Tech Secretary Liz Kendall, speaking to @mattchorley inside an AI-powered driverless car, says the UK should not “turn its back” on AI.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

The Sovereign AI fund is one of the single most important things we will do for the future of this country. We are betting on Britain because we believe in Britain

This is the difference a Labour Government can make: lifting children out of poverty so they can have the best start in life. https://t.co/n9CfOSt3xK

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

Girls just want to have funding! 📣

We've launched the Women in Tech Taskforce, bringing together industry leaders to help more women enter, stay and lead in the UK's tech sector💡

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

We are ambitious for our children and our country. By tackling poverty and giving every child the best start in life we will help them fulfil their potential and build a better future. This is the difference a ⁦@UKLabour⁩ government makes. https://t.co/QgggsE38G0

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

Caring for a loved one is one of the most important jobs someone can do. I’m proud to have commissioned the Sayce Review and I’m proud this Labour government is acting on behalf of carers. https://t.co/7YO5qrlEWJ

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

Science and innovation are essential for jobs and prosperity.
Through targeted funding, we can inspire future generations and secure the UK’s position as a global leader in research.
Thank you @UKRI_News for the opportunity to share my vision of Britain’s path to growth.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

There’s no route to stronger growth in the UK …. no answer to how we pay our way, or compete with the rest of the world … without science, technology & innovation leading the way. My speech today at the ⁦@UKRI_News⁩ Innovation for Growth Summit. https://t.co/gpCwWOLCGc

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

This is the difference a Labour government makes: growing the economy, creating great jobs and putting more money in people's pockets. And making sure that the benefits are felt right across the country, giving people the skills to seize these opportunities.

Change: delivered.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

Clean energy powering the technological revolution. Building the jobs and opportunities of the future for the people and places who need it most. That’s the difference a Labour Govt makes.

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

No child can be expected to learn on an empty stomach

500,000 more children will be able to get free school meals from September next year

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

Over half a million more children to get free school meals

https://t.co/78h1Ju8eCO

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

Read Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall in @theipaper on how expanding free school meals will lift children out of poverty

https://t.co/Xi5ydk3uhS

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

We're giving half a million more children in England free school meals to tackle hunger, give children the best start in life & help them succeed.

This will put £500 a year back in families' pockets & lift 100,000 children completely out of poverty.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

We will invest in jobs, infrastructure and public services in all parts of the country.

Real hope, based on real solutions.

That is what we are delivering through our welfare reforms.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

It was Labour MPs & trade unionists who campaigned & then legislated to transform opportunities for women

We changed the world of work – with maternity pay, childcare & employment support

We must now bring the same focus & commitment to doing the same for sick & disabled people
