Very strong support for Labour in Rusthall this morning for @twlabour
Labour councillors @jayne_sharratt and @BritcherAlex working hard for their community all year round. #tunbridgewells
Ofgem and our government allowed British Gas to increase prices so this profit is your money, going to shareholders. The cost of living crisis hits us all while companies make huge profits.
British Gas has profited almost £1 billion in the first half of 2023.

Sherwood ward members Cllrs Hugo Pound and Shadi Rogers were out this afternoon with residents reminding HGV drivers that they should not be using Liptraps Lane during the Pembury Road closure.
Rishi Sunak is a disgrace and should call a General Election #RefugeesWelcome

Under the Tories, nearly 650,000 households struggling with mortgage costs are at risk of repossession.
A Labour government, with @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister and @RachelReevesMP as Chancellor will deliver economic security.

Tories’ new asylum law is a con that makes things worse
Won’t stop criminal gangs
Promises to clear backlog but cancels decisions
Claims to return everyone but has nowhere to send them
Claims to be fair but locks up children
But hey, they passed a law
Only Labour has a plan

We won in Selby and Ainsty, the largest majority ever reversed at a by-election.
But we have to earn every single vote if we're going to win a general election.
Join Labour today and help us to carry on making history. ⬇️
In the South East, Labour’s plan will create 27,000 jobs, make over 2 million homes warm and build over 1,000 local power projects.
If the Tories hadn’t crashed our economy Labour could deliver this plan and make Britain a clean energy superpower much quicker.
Labour's Green Prosperity Plan is about lower bills, good jobs, energy security, and climate leadership.
Read about what our plan means for every nation and region of the United Kingdom 👇

Rishi Sunak said today at #PMQs that rising NHS waiting lists is down to industrial action.
Well how about the last 13 years of rising waiting lists?
ALT graph depicting the rise in the number of people on NHS waiting lists for consultant-led elective care from august 2007 to May 2023. The graph shows there has been a consistent rise from 2008 and way before the start of industrial action by the BMA at the end of 2022.

Rishi Sunak doesn’t want to answer questions because on his watch NHS waiting lists have grown from 7.2 million to a record high 7.5 million.

This looks like a nice design for a new hospital but if you read the NAO report it says that most of the 32 ‘new hospitals’ are actually new buildings or partial refurbishments at existing hospitals.
The longer the Tories are in government the longer patients will wait.

Delays mean the New Hospital Programme will deliver 32 new hospitals by 2030, not 40 as the government announced in 2020.
The other 8 will follow after 2030.
Report director @TSJPhillips discusses our key findings on this programme 👇

Damning National Audit Office report into the Government’s hospital building programme.
The Conservatives have overpromised, under-delivered, and they've been found out.
Meanwhile patients are being treated in outdated, crumbling hospitals.

The Tory mortgage bombshell strikes again.
First-time buyers now likely to need a £102k deposit - three times more than a year ago.
This government is wrecking people's hopes for a secure future.
Only Labour’s plans will get more people on the ladder.

The Tories keep saying that ending tax breaks for private schools will force lots of those children into public schools. The Institute for Fiscal Studies research says that’s not the case.
Labour’s plan is the right choice to drive up standards for all our children.
We will drive up standards for all our children, by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy.
That is the choice Labour will make.
Today @TheIFS report confirms its fiscal basis.
Excellence must be for everyone.
Ending tax breaks for private schools is the route to opportunity for all Britain’s children.
Pleasure to talk to the Telegraph about Labour’s priorities for our schools.
Labour’s mission is to ensure background is no barrier to opportunity.
We’ll invest in rising standards in all our schools by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy.
