The reality for Amina caring for mum.
Her earnings limit will increase from £151 a week to about £196
“I nearly started crying when I heard about the announcement. It means at the end of the month I won’t be struggling, worried or anxious,” she says.

Pleased to raise the vital work that 311,000 unpaid carers in Wales do every day. It’s crucial they have support & are not pushed into debt.
I’m glad the UK Gov have launched an independent review to find out what went wrong with Carer’s Allowance under the previous government.

We have issued the following statement:
The awful and shocking murders of three young girls in Southport on Monday 29 July have deeply affected so many here in Waltham Forest and across the country.
We refuse to be cowed by those who seek to exploit this tragedy.

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

While election night did not give us the MP we hoped for in Broxbourne, we delivered a Labour government by a landslide. We woke up this morning to Sir Keir Starmer in 10 Downing Street ready to work on delivering change.
Catherine Deakin retweeted
My government will serve you.
Politics can be a force for good.
The work of change begins today.
ALT Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria arrive at Number 10 Downing Street upon his appointment.

This Thursday, Britain faces a clear choice – five more years of Tory chaos, or my changed Labour Party that will turn the page and start to rebuild.
This is your chance to vote for your future. Vote Labour on Thursday.
Catherine Deakin retweeted
You could make this the last full week of the Tories.
Vote for change with Labour next Thursday.

Ready for the game at the Roman Urn! Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁

Thinking of our former Chair Jo on the 8th anniversary of her death, ahead of her 50th birthday this week. We miss you. Sending love to all who do too.

Today I’ve set out Labour’s plan to create 3,000 new school-based nurseries, to drive high and rising standards from children’s early years.
A Labour government will deliver life chances for children and work choices for parents.
Paid for by ending private schools’ tax breaks.
Catherine Deakin retweeted
The Conservatives made a pledge without a plan.
Only Labour has a plan to deliver the childcare our country needs.
Only Labour can bring the change our children deserve.

🏘️ @Keir_Starmer will not sit by as the Tories leave a generation of young people to become renters for life.
Labour will get Britain building and deliver the change needed to get first-time buyers on the housing ladder.
My grandad, who was a WW2 Corporal, ran a @PoppyLegion club in Cheshunt. My grandmother was a Sergeant. I've worked with disfigured veterans and cadet charities.
It was a very special moment to mark #DDay80 and honour those who gave their lives so we could live in freedom.
Our candidate, Catherine Deakin, shares what a privilege it was to attend the D-day celebrations in Hoddesdon this evening, and her family's deep commitment to our Armed Forces.
Lest we forget.
