Labour is giving good, local businesses a bit of breathing space. We’re bringing down the cost of business with our cut in rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues. Thanks to the Chantry Tap in Rotherham for having me! 🍺

Many of us on the left have talked for a long time (and had our fair share of slander for it) about how white working class kids' misfortune was being deprioritised wholesale by the adoption of identity politics from America.
The working-class children struggling to find their way in a new world White working-class pupils have been the lowest attaining major ethnic group at GCSE level for more than a decade. @JackieLongc4 examines why the system is holding them back. 📩Read our latest newsletter: channel4news.substack.com/p/…

Positive ideas from @andyburnham this week: 'Buying British' through Defence plan, a pathway from school to industry, & support for comminuties facing upheavel. Devolving power and raising living standards through council housebuilding + taking back public control of utilities.

Regenerating town centres, tackling the cost of living, reindustrialising, using the state's £ to support UK companies, taking control of utilities for the public good and letting power flow from Westminster to the whole country- so much from @andyburnham to feel positive about!

Here's more @andyburnham ambition for you... - Reform Business Rates to make our high streets a "British Renaissance" story - 10 Year Plan to raise living standards - More public control of water, transport, energy, housing "Good growth in every post code. Hope in every heart"
"In an uncertain world, we need to safeguard sovereign manufacturing: steel, defence, energy, food & farming." Not my words this time - those of @andyburnham, who today set out plans to Buy British - incl. in our Defence Plan - & for clear pathways from school to industry 🏭 👏

On by-election day, it's worth re-watching Andy's campaign video - which now has nearly 3,000,000 views on X alone. "Andy is proper Labour - Labour for the working class" - as one constituent convert put it on Monday. Whatever happens today, Labour must learn from this.
Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

The best teams I've served in didn't agree on everything. We did, however, agree on the mission. That's Labour at its best. Plenty of perspectives, but we know who we stand for. Working people. Their kids. The next generation. That's the job 🌹

We need to get out of this mindset that wars are won by soldiers alone. They're won by supply chains, factories and the country behind them. That's the conversation we need to have.

This trial is part of our efforts to give workers the opportunity to stay in work wherever possible, with support from their employer - helping them preserve the independence and dignity that comes from working.

Net migration down 82%. Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives. This Government is restoring order and control to our borders.

We need to dump half of Britain's university courses and build a new Renaissance in trade education. Britain must be a nation of crafters again, like in William Morris' vision.
I’ve just voted against increasing student tuition fees. The system is a total mess. Students are saddled with huge debts while universities remain massively underfunded. It needs fundamental change. But that change needs to be based on ending student debt, not increasing it.

Nobody should finish a week’s work and find they’ve been paid less than they’ve earned. That’s why we’re cracking down on underpayment and making sure workers get the pay they deserve helping return £7.3 million to workers. Employers should check their payroll and get it right.
Millions repaid. Millions in fines issued. Minimum wage compliance made clear 👉 ow.ly/MPsh50YwnnB
