I got into politics because I wanted to see change in this country, I have been campaigning for 4 years so that no one has to sell their hand to receive care.

Planning a holiday? Here's what you need to know about your annual leave entitlement. 👀 👇 Most workers who work a 5-day week must get at least 28 days of paid annual leave a year. This is the equivalent of 5.6 weeks of holiday. 🧳 Part-time workers who work regular hours for the whole year are entitled to at least 5.6 weeks of paid holiday, but this will amount to fewer than 28 days. 🗓️ For example, if you work 3 days a week, they must get at least 16.8 days of leave a year (3 × 5.6). It’s up to your employer as to whether bank holidays are included as part of your statutory annual leave or not. 🌴 For more information on annual leave, head to gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-r…

Andy Burnham is putting problem solving over point scoring. That's what the people of Scotland deserve. That's what everyone across our United Kingdom deserves.

Trapped, tangled & unable to escape… This little hedgehog was completely caught up, unable to free herself. Thankfully, she was rescued & given the care she needed. ⚠️ Garden netting can be a deadly trap for wildlife. If possible, please keep it off the ground & check regularly

🚆 Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander (@Heidi_Labour) has confirmed Great British Railways will base its HQ in Derby — up to 450 staff and 600 apprenticeships. Andy Burnham (@andyburnham) said Becketwell puts the railway back in public hands. Pat McFadden (@patmcfaddenmp) linked it to the Youth Guarantee; Claire Ward (@ClaireWard4EM) welcomed the jobs.

For too many leaseholders, the dream of homeownership has become a nightmare of excessive charges and little control. Labour’s leasehold and commonhold reforms will give homeowners stronger rights, tackle unfair costs and give people greater control over their homes.

As Attorney General, I want to build a justice system that works for victims. Today I confirmed the national rollout of the Victim Transformation Programme - giving every domestic abuse victim a dedicated liaison officer, for better support from charge to trial.

These GDP figures are welcome news. Despite conflicts in the Middle East and Europe hitting people across the world, today’s figures offer more proof of Britain’s resilience in the face of these global shocks.
GDP grew 0.7% in the three months to August 2026, following revised growth of 0.5% in the three months to July. Services grew (+0.9%) while production (-0.2%) and construction (-1.0%) both fell. Read the full article ➡️ ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdome…
