A fantastic evening at @watfordpalace celebrating #ChineseNewYear2025 with stunning performances from the cast and production team. Thanks to #WatfordChineseAssociation for their hard work and that of the theatre staff as well.

Great to be out on the #LabourDoorstep! It was damp but our spirits were not dampened!

Watford workers are set for a huge pay rise from 1 April The national minimum wage for over 21s will jump to £12.21 p/hr - a record rise, worth an extra £2,500 a year for full-time employees Good news for local people We promised change and we're delivering for working people

Labour's New Deal For Working People, will end 'one-sided' zero-hours contracts. We're banning 'fire and rehire' where employers sack a workforce, only to employ them again on worse terms and conditions. That's the difference a Labour government makes. Change.

Today, @UKLabour Chancellor, @RachelReevesMP announced plans for growth. This will make a huge difference for the better in #Watford.

In Parliament, I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust's Book of Commitment, reaffirming my resolve to ensuring the horrors of the past are not forgotten by present and future generations.2/2

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, 80 years on since the liberation of Auschwitz, we will always remember the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis. I laid a wreath in Watford at the Anne Frank tree, which commemorates her life, and those of others.1/2

RT @Observer_Owl: In his latest column @Turmaine explains why there was only one topic to raise for his first question at Prime Minister's…

The UK’s first independent Armed Forces Commissioner is a step closer as the Bill passes its third reading. After 14 years of Tory neglect, morale is at record lows, with 5,000 service members on Universal Credit. Labour is taking action: Labour will stand up for those who serve.

Today I had the privilege of speaking with the @UNISONEastern Region Retired Members at their AGM. We discussed progress the government is making on delivering its manifesto commitments as well as flagging some areas for further discussion.

@The_Ice_Creamy This looks like quite a fun project. Are you working your way round them all?

Great to be out and about in #Watford today, speaking to residents about the terrible potholes in our town. The new @UKLabour government is investing £1.6 billion on road repair this year to fix them, nearly 50% more than the Tories had pledged.

I welcome the news of a ceasefire in Gaza. At last, there is hope on the horizon. We hope, with all that is good in the world, that peace will prevail and the violence is over.

RT @UKLabour: Happy Orthodox New Year to those celebrating in the UK and across the world, from all of us at Labour.

Wishing a #HappyPongal2025 to those celebrating!

There’s a difference between genuine refugees and those who are not. Those who have no right to be here are being deported. We believe in a fair and just immigration system. We promised change and here is the government delivering on it.

One of the great things about Parliamentary democracy is that residents can come and lobby their MP. I recently received a delegation wishing to talk to me about the war in the Middle East.

@JoshFG Thoughts and best wishes to you and your loved ones Josh. Hope all comes good.

@Sir_David_King is a legend in environmental politics. It was a pleasure to meet him recently and hear his thoughts on the #ClimateAndNatureBill

The government announced an immediate £86 million boost to the Disabled Facilities Gran – a happy New Year indeed. That’s on top of the £86m announced at the Budget. This means thousands more people can make improvements to their homes so they can live more independent lives.
