Today I met Dave, who drove the first train out of Waterloo under the Government’s public ownership programme. We said we’d bring the train operating companies into public ownership. We’re delivering. Next stop: set up Great British Railways to better manage track and train!

Everyone should be able to travel with dignity and respect. That’s why I welcome today’s report by an industry-led group headed up by @Tanni_GT, helping airports & air carriers to make flying more accessible & inclusive for disabled passengers ✈️ gov.uk/government/pub…

I know people have faced disruption at Waterloo this morning. Signalling has now been restored. It will take time to get trains and crew back in the right place, but @SW_Help are working hard to restore a reliable service to get you home later. Please check before you travel.

With C2C coming into public ownership today, 28% of train journeys are now run by the public operator. Here's my explanation of what this actually means - in 28 seconds ⬇️

🚨🤝@c2c_Rail to public ownership, here we go! Transfer confirmed! Next step in encouraging more people to take the train and deliver the world class service that passengers deserve.

Good to be out knocking on doors in Swindon today - we are out and about all year round, not just at election time.

Promises made. Promises delivered.

It is heartbreaking to hear that a child has died and others are seriously injured following the incident in Minehead earlier today. My thoughts are with their friends and families, and all those affected by this tragic event.

I’m aware of the serious incident involving a bus near Minehead, Somerset. My thoughts are with all those involved. The emergency services are on scene, and I am receiving regular updates on the situation.

Excited to launch the @activetraveleng Junior Inspectors scheme with @Chris_Boardman & @JoshDeanMP. Kids will be able to audit their school run, giving feedback via an app, creating safer, greener routes - boosting health, cutting congestion & supporting our Plan for Change.🚶‍♀️🚲

Labour's first King's Speech was a year ago today. From bringing rail services into public ownership, to strengthening water regulations and reforming workers' rights, we are standing up for the public.

Great to be announcing this today! Delighted by the investment in the town and new skilled jobs that are coming. Huge thanks to our excellent MP @WStone4SN who has really been championing the town alongside our @SwindonCouncil inward investment team! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My deepest sympathies are with everyone impacted by the awful incident at Southend Airport. My thanks go to the emergency services for their ongoing response. @aaibgovuk is working alongside the authorities to investigate this tragic accident and I continue to receive updates.
