Buses provide a lifeline and opportunity for people across the country. Keeping fares affordable is a top priority for me, as our landmark Buses Bill overhauls how services are delivered. Better buses are around the corner with Labour.🚌🚏 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Remember when the Tories boasted that they were taking money from the poorest areas to give to the richest? Here’s the Labour difference a Labour Government makes: more money for areas with greatest poverty to tackle health inequalities. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
The US has taken action to alleviate the grave threat that Iran poses to global security. The UK did not participate in these strikes. The safety of UK personnel and bases is my top priority. Force protection is at its highest level and we deployed additional jets this week.
