They’re kinder, harder working, and more empathetic.
That’s why we owe young people a decent life.
Great to speak to the @LabourList team last week.

This is great news! It's a policy I have been lobbying for, both privately with Government Ministers and in an article for @LabourList, which you can read here: labourlist.org/2026/07/drive…

Nigel Farage is a whiny winner. And that's deeply unattractive to the voters he needs to persuade labourlist.org/2026/08/farag…

I couldn’t be happier to see @bevcraig elected as the next Mayor of Greater Manchester.
We’ve worked together for many years, and I’ve seen first-hand her intelligence, compassion and determination. I know she’ll bring people together and stand up for every part of our city-region.
Being Mayor of Greater Manchester was everything to me. I’ll forever be grateful for the privilege and I can’t think of anyone better to take Greater Manchester forward.

What are the five things the new Labour Chancellor should do to deliver good growth in every postcode?
To answer this vital question, our Chief Economist @DanRCorry (former Chair of the Treasury’s Council of Economic Advisers) has written for @LabourList outlining how @JohnHealey_MP should devolve power & money across the UK.
By boosting control over expenditure in Mayoral Combined Authorities and devolving more funding – including capital budgets and elements of the National Wealth Fund to regional and local government, Dan argues the incoming Chancellor can set a firm direction of travel for the UK economy.
How to deliver good growth across the country is a big focus for FGF's work. As the Chancellor continues to think through this important question, we hope our proposals on how to #transformthestate to #renewthenation will offer a useful guide.

I’m giving thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues a 20% cut in business rates.
I won’t stand by while these cherished local spaces disappear, replaced by boarded-up windows and ‘For Sale’ signs.
They’re the heart of our communities and it’s time we backed them.

31% of the appearances by the Govt's top 10 ministers were by women, as per @LabourList's excellent tracker. Being in the room matters. Being heard matters too. LWN want to see Labour women having equal prominence & visibility. As the new Cabinet takes shape, we'll be watching.

Competition for most viral @LabourList columns is on.
My rival claims he’s only watched 1,000 hours of GB News, **for the cause**. Babe. That’s a Tuesday.
I’ve launched a new monthly column for @LabourList on what progressives can learn from the right’s media machine.
For the first piece, I consumed 1,000 hours of GB News, right-wing podcasts and the darker corners of the internet.
Here’s what I learned 🧵

EXC: Bermondsey and Old Southwark MP Neil Coyle tells @LabourList he has nominated Catherine West in the Labour leadership contest (she has already backed Burnham and no other candidate is mathematically able to reach the 81 MP threshold to get onto the ballot…)

How do the latest list of PLP leadership nominations break down by party group?
Four more members of the Socialist Campaign Group have now backed Burnham, including Richard Burgon - which still leaves eight MPs who have yet to nominate him
