It's clear who Reform UK stand for - and it's not workers.

They seek to sow division, while committing to throw our hard-won rights on the scrapheap.

BREAKING: THERE'S ONE POINT IN IT. LABOUR 28% REFORM 27% Gorton and Denton

New poll suggests there is just one point between Labour & Reform in Gorton and Denton.

Every vote will count on Thursday. Back Labour & choose unity over Reform’s division.

The PM who turned PI: why is Gordon Brown delving so deep into the Epstein files? Brown is said to be driven by moral anger but insiders suggest he may feel guilty for bringing Peter Mandelson back into government

Thank you Gordon Brown. May you continue to make the weather on bringing down those involved in Epstein’s disgusting world.

Labour is restoring stability to the economy, reducing inflation on food & fuel prices while also bringing down the national debt.

Are you concerned about #knifecrime? Me too.

Find out more about the Government's new plan to stop re-offending and offer children the foundations to walk away from crime for good.

This is good news for all of us.

Getting inflation under control benefits us all, and will make it easier to hit the other key indicators of economic stability that in turn will help build confidence and growth.

Today marks a major step forward for workers’ rights.

Thanks to the Employment Rights Act, most of the 2016 Trade Union Act has been repealed - cutting red tape and giving unions stronger freedom to organise for better pay, job security and conditions.

β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

More garbage coming out of Reform.

This time that they want to tear up the Equality Act.

So you’re stuffed if you’re a woman, black, gay, pregnant, old.

No rights. Allowing bad bosses to do exactly as they please. This is not how our country should operate.

Fire and rehire leaves workers vulnerable to low pay and poor conditions.

This UK Labour Government is banning this practice, ensuring fair pay, job security and dignity at work. #HeartUnions

We've cut NHS waiting lists again.

From expanding surgical hubs and Community Diagnostic Centres across the country, to more evening and weekend clinics, 2025 was a record year for elective care activity in the NHS.

Our trade unions play a vital role in improving the lives of working people, and in delivering Labour's landmark Employment Rights Act.

This #HeartUnions week, @warinderjussmp.bsky.social celebrates the work our unions do ❀️

NHS waiting lists have fallen to their LOWEST level in three years.

THAT is the difference a LABOUR government makes.

Labour are having a radical week. Not necessarily for what you think.

They’ve introduced measures to stop MPs having Second jobs (or 9).

They’re also introducing a restriction on donations to political parties from foreign donors.

Change is coming.

Expect loud noise.

History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.

Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

The wave of support for Keir Starmer has left me emotional this morning.

It feels Like our country has woken from a drugged slumber that was poisoned by populists and racism.

We’ve changed overnight. It’s impressive.

Great to be out talking with residents on Thorndon Rd/Close and also some of Chorleywood Crescent today. Previously, residents had raised concerns about parking, and it was good to update them on the propsed plans we had asked the council to prepare for Thorndon Close. #LabourDoorstep #StPaulsCray
