Today the
@mhclg
team met with the Prime Minister to talk about our contribution to deliver the change the country voted for.
Local gov, our cllrs, mayors and communities are central to our missions. Though a difficult inheritance after 14 years, still very exciting times ahead.
Car insurance is an essential, not a luxury. But the rising cost of cover has hit drivers hard.
Today I've launched a taskforce to give this the attention it deserves.
We will root out the factors driving up costs to ensure drivers get a fair deal 🚗✅
No veteran should be turned away from voting - these people risked their life for their country.
Every legitimate voter must be supported to cast their vote in our elections.
This week, our Renters' Rights Bill passed second reading.
Labour is determined to move quickly to give private renters the security, rights and protections they deserve.

Ministers, Mayors, MPs and members.
We're so thankful to have such a fantastic community of co-operation, and to everyone who made it to Manchester to celebrate co-operative change with us: thank you. 🐝
Today we held the first Council of the Nations and Regions.
Working together, we will unlock the whole of the UK’s untapped potential to make everyone, everywhere better off.
Under the Tories, chaos in Westminster left towns and cities adrift, ‘Levelling Up’ was a scam and living standards stagnated.
Today,
@Keir_Starmer
has secured billions of clean energy investment for the UK - driving growth, creating jobs, and making working people better off.
Decisions are best made by those with skin in the game.
Great to welcome
@AngelaRayner
and Mayors to Newcastle for the first Council of Mayors.
This Govt knows that more devolution will drive growth and create opportunity in every part of our country. That’s what we’ll deliver.
The mass sacking by P&O Ferries was a national scandal which can never be allowed to happen again.
These measures will make sure it doesn’t.
Labour will Make Work Pay.
I am determined to get the Renters’ Rights Bill in to law as soon as possible.
The threat of no-fault evictions will then finally be confined to history.

Under the Tories, bus services were cut, passengers were let down and growth stagnated.
Now, I am delivering on Labour's mission for economic growth with a £500 million investment in UK-made electric buses announced today.
Britain is open for business.
