The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as β€˜Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on Β£2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

🚨Thousands of ex-mineworkers are set to receive extra retirement payments after Rachel Reeves released funds from a pension scheme.

A huge shout-out to the women in our coalfield communities who fought for fairness every step of the way. You made this happen. ✊

The details coming out about that LNER train is why you'll never catch me complaining that train drivers, train guards, signal operatives and many other staff on our railways simply want a fair wage, one that allows them to live comfortably, for the work they do.

Yorkshire Water customers are angry, and rightly so. They’ve seen bills rise, rivers polluted, and trust in the company all but vanish.

We’ve been clear today that enough is enough. People deserve a water company that is open, accountable, and focused on delivering clean water and healthy rivers - not secret pay deals and excuses.

This isn’t a one-off conversation, we’ll be holding Yorkshire Water to account over the months ahead to make sure they deliver on their promises - and if they don’t, we’ll be back at the table demanding answers.

β–ͺ️ A staggering 41% increase on bills
β–ͺ️ Continuing pollution incidents
β–ͺ️ A breakdown in public trust

Today we met with the company's chair with a very clear message – enough is enough.

The Sheffield Wednesday news has made me think of the great bunch of anonymous lads at Astor and Krato who so desperately wanted Ken Bates to retain control after he'd lost
them a load of money and forced us into administration. You don't see that kind of generosity every day, do you?

I visited Handsworth this afternoon to shine a light on the strong sense of community spirit there. The people of Handsworth are rightly proud of their culture and heritage and anyone suggesting otherwise is simply wrong.
