What a performance! Absolutely brilliant from our England women's team! 🏴🏆 You're not just champions on the pitch - you're inspiring the next generation. Bring it home, Lionesses! ❤️ #ComeOnEngland 🦁🦁🦁
Wishing the very best of luck to our incredible England women's team tonight! 🏴 The whole country is behind you. #ComeOnEngland 🦁🦁🦁
Yesterday I chaired Leaders Council which brings together local government leaders from across England to drive forward our missions for national renewal. From the 10-Year Health Plan to our landmark Devolution Bill, we're building partnerships that will transform communities.
This Labour government is bringing forward the next generation of new towns. In doing so, we want the active support of local leaders and communities, but be in no doubt that site selection will ultimately be based on what is in the national interest. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Heartbreaking to learn a child has lost their life in the devastating incident in Minehead. Thinking of all the families and loved ones of those injured and impacted by this horrific tragedy. Grateful for the emergency services' tireless efforts.
We've announced changes to modernise UK democracy to: 🗳️Give 16 and 17 year olds the vote for the next general election. #Votesat16 🗳️Extend voter ID to include bank cards - removing barriers to the ballot box. 🗳️Bring in tougher rules to protect against foreign interference.
🚨 Breaking 🚨 16 and 17 year olds will be able to vote in the next general election for the first time ever. Tell us what you think 👇 #VotesAt16
When it comes to development and the environment, we must move beyond a failing status quo. To provide confidence that the Planning and Infrastructure Bill delivers the win-win we know it will, we have today tabled a package of amendments to Part 3 👇🏻 gov.uk/government/pub…
Today we’re delivering on our promise to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote. Young people already contribute to society by working, paying taxes and serving in the military. It's only right they can have a say on the issues that affect them. #VotesAt16
Canada and the UK share more than history — we’re working together to deliver inclusive growth, energy resilience, and a fairer global economy. Great to sit down with @fp_champagne in Rome last week. 🇨🇦🤝🇬🇧
Our Labour Government is taking decisive action to give children the best start in life. Our new, world-leading £500m Better Futures Fund will give hundreds of thousands of children, young people and their families the support they need to help them reach their full potential.
You shouldn’t need a driveway to own an electric car. My Plan for Change is boosting funding for infrastructure to allow cables to run safely beneath pavements. That’s cheaper, at home charging – putting money back in the pockets of working people.
There's been criticism of our Employment Rights Bill from plenty of quarters but some of the Tory complaints about it bear little relation the actual Bill! We are proud of the biggest upgrade in workers rights in a generation to improve security, fairness and respect at work!
We want to ensure our democracy is resilient and thriving, that people are able to engage and participate in our democracy, free from the fear of harassment and intimidation. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Labour is bringing decision-making closer to you, where it belongs.
This government is supporting rural communities to build new homes for local people. Building on the funding available from our new Social and Affordable Homes Programme, we’re giving particular focus to how we can boost the supply of rural affordable housing. #RuralHousingWeek
Today we mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, when over 8,000 predominantly Bosnian Muslim men and boys were brutally murdered. The horrors of Srebrenica remind us why we must remain vigilant against hatred and division. We must never forget.
