We’re getting Britain building. Sizewell C has officially been given the green light, with government the main shareholder. Helping deliver clean, homegrown power to millions of homes, supporting thousands of jobs and unlocking growth across the country.

The Football Governance Bill is now the Football Governance Act. Supporter engagement & more are now enshrined in law. Charlton fans’ experience played its part in the making this law #cafc FSA response: Football Governance Bill achieves Royal Assent thefsa.org.uk/news/fsa-respo…
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
The Football Governance Bill received Royal Assent today. It is now law. Stronger protection for the clubs we love and more say for fans in how they are run.
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…
Out on the doorstep in West Greenwich this afternoon. Thanks to all those residents who took the time to speak to us.
🚨🤝@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.
Families have watched their local rivers, coastlines and lakes suffer from record levels of pollution. The Conservatives let it happen. Labour will clean it up.
Russian spies are trying to destabilise Europe, undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and threaten the safety of British citizens. Today we are exposing this activity and sanctioning those responsible. Protecting the UK from harm is fundamental to this government’s Plan for Change.
My message to people smugglers: We're going to send back the people you smuggle across the Channel, with our new agreement with France. We're coming after the boats you use, with our new agreement with Germany. We will destroy your business model, piece by piece.
'Slight delay' says @mtpennycook in setting enfranchisement rates until Judicial Review judgment is out @josephpowell @NLC_2019
Deeply concerned by the Israeli Civil Administration’s plan to revive the E1 settlement programme. If implemented, this would critically undermine a future Palestinian state and the path to a two-state solution - crushing the hopes of millions who wish for peace.
Our plan to become a green energy superpower is cutting bills and creating jobs right across the country. Reform UK would destroy those jobs and hurt hardworking families in every community.
WE NEVER QUIT. ENGLAND ARE IN THE #WEURO2025 SEMI-FINALS ❤️
Side by side, we're working with Germany to crush the people smuggling gangs and boost our defence exports. Today we've signed a first of its kind agreement to deliver security, growth, and jobs for working people.
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…
Great to visit Citizens House in Sydenham today and meet residents. Community-led housing delivers social and affordable homes for local people and gives local communities a greater say on where new homes are built and how they are designed. We want to see the sector grow.
