Loughborough Labour

This is what we're about - bringing communities together with ownership.

That's because we think communities should be at the heart of politics, not just an afterthought.

How Our Employment Rights Bill Will Lead to Higher Wages and More Growth Good for business, good for workers

Yesterday in Parliament, Labour and Co-operative MPs and Government Ministers welcomed new powers to save local assets like pubs, cafes, and sports venues.

Catch up with yesterday's day in Parliament 👇

Parliament has completed the Second Reading of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.

This Bill legislates for a new Community Right to Buy in England, automatic registration of sports venues as Assets of Community Value, and expands the definition of ACVs.

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills down.

Before recess, over 100 MPs in the Living Standards Coalition called for progressive changes to reduce bills for low- and middle-income households.

Thanks to DESNZ and Ofgem for pursuing this.

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills falling.

That’s why over 100 Labour MPs from the Living Standards Coalition have written to @Ed_Miliband.

We're asking him to consider progressive price changes that will get bills down more quickly.

The Spending Review has set out how we’re going to get bills down and wages rising in Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages.

This Labour government is taking action to ensure everyone can be better off.

Making people better off, getting bills down, getting wages rising. That's what this Spending Review is about.

Farage’s pledges to slash taxes don’t add up, top economists warn Nigel Farage has pledged billions of pounds of tax cuts and painted Reform UK as the true ‘party of workers’

Farage says Reform are the “true party of the workers”.

Give over.🙄

Reform voted against the Employment Rights Bill and now they’re pushing £80bn in tax cuts with no plan to pay for them.💸

Not pro-worker. Not credible. Not fooling anyone. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

🏥 Today on #InternationalNursesDay, I want to recognise the incredible work nurses do every single day.

That’s why we delivered a pay rise — with 1,500 nursing vacancies in the East Midlands, action was needed. If we want nurses, we need to pay for them.

Happy Easter everybody!

At this time of year, I like to remember the eternal values that Jesus Christ espoused. Of empathy (Matthew 7:12), forgiveness (Matthew 5:7), and our duty to future generations (Psalm 89).

I hope you all have a great day with friends and family.
