The test of any Prime Minister is: do you leave your country in a better place than you found it? I’m proud that the answer is yes.

Complain about British Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square — stay a Tory Shadow Minister. Complain about Badenoch’s disregard for human rights and climate change — lose the Tory whip. When people show you who they are, believe them. xitter.cf/jasongroves1/status/20…

The whole country will be utterly shocked by the awful news about the circumstances of Ann Widdecombe’s death. Today we come together across the political divide and I pay tribute to Ann’s dedication during her many years of public service. My thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ann’s family and friends.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

Today we remember the victims and survivors of the 7 July 2005 terrorist attacks and honour the extraordinary bravery of the emergency services who responded.
Today, I laid a wreath in Hyde Park to honour the 52 innocent people killed on 7 July 2005. We honour those injured, the families who carry the loss, and the heroic emergency responders who ran towards danger that day. London remembers. You will never be forgotten.

Two years on, we've delivered real change across the country. From putting more money in people's pockets, to improving public services and making communities safer. Here's a look at what we've achieved so far👇

Today we're apologising to those affected by the injustice of forced adoption, as this government acknowledges the role of the state in the appalling practice. An apology cannot undo what happened, but it can be the start of real change.

I met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. The United Kingdom has taken new important decisions in support of Ukraine and introduced new sanctions steps against Russia’s shadow fleet. Thank you! All of this works towards peace. I informed Keir about the consequences of the recent Russian strikes. We discussed the possible participation of the United Kingdom in the restoration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the implementation of the agreements reached during today’s G7–Ukraine meeting, potential areas for further pressure on Russia, and steps to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. Thank you, Keir Starmer, for your unwavering support for our people.

Keir Starmer and I disagree on many things, but good people across the political spectrum will welcome today’s verdicts, condemn these appalling attacks which seem to have been sponsored by Russia, and wish the PM and his family well. Whatever our political differences, no one should face intimidation, threats or attacks because they hold public office. Democracy is settled at the ballot box, not through fear or violence and definitely not through foreign interference from hostile countries.

Labour has increased the pay for our armed forces by 14% since we formed the government. We said we would renew the contract between the nation and those who serve and we meant it. 🇬🇧
People are the heart of defence. We thank our Armed Forces for their sacrifices. This Government has awarded a 3.6% pay rise, bringing total pay increases to 14.1% since July 2024 - recognising their dedication as defence demands grow. Read more: ow.ly/IkQb50Z9k9e

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts. You voted against banning fire and rehire. You voted against day one sick pay for workers. You said the minimum wage was too high for young people. Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions. You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
Reform is now the party of workers. Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK. We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever. We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women. Our debt to them can never be repaid.

'It is inflammatory, it is extremist, it is divisive, it is everything the family didn't want.’ Former senior police officer Neil Basu tells James O'Brien that he believes Nigel Farage is using Henry Novak’s death to score ‘political points'.

From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys. We’ve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.
