Great to be in Glasgow today, as we talk through the negotiated offer to end pay discrimination in the city. When we win equal pay, it will be because the men and women of Glasgow stood together. Solidarity to GMB members in Leeds and Swansea in their fights for pay justice.

Remarkable how she is just always wrong.

Controversial opinion, I love #TheCelebrityTraitors but have no time for the activities; they are not a patch on Raven.

Labour was elected on a promise to fix a broken Britain.    Workers and communities are crying out for a better future.   We need action to put our industries, communities, and our country back where we belong.  #Lab26

Been at @UKLabour Conferences for a decade and I’ve never left one feeling as hopeful as I do today. A government that gets it - an emotional, political and genuinely Labour argument for the UK + what our country can be with workers at its heart. #Lab26 join.labour.org.uk/join?utm_…

I will build the Britain my dad wanted to see.

A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system. Today I set out a different path for Britain. You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics. Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love. If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other. It's time to draw a line. To move beyond a decade of drift and division. To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country. To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode. To hope again.

Working class aspiration. Reindustrialistion. Solidarity. A Britain we can all believe in. We’re in. #Lab26

“A union of nations that gave trade unions and the co-operative movement to the world.” Our first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister @andyburnham on the Britain he loves: a country of solidarity, not separation.

Today I am reminded of the words of my Labour predecessor Denis Healey: “Once we cut defence expenditure to the extent where our security is imperilled, we have no houses, we have no hospitals, we have no schools. We have a heap of cinders.” In a dangerous and volatile world, our @UKLabour government is investing in defence - with the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War. I’ve seen first hand in Ukraine the consequences of war and it is vital we strengthen our deterrence to prevent another. As we do so, we’re reindustrialising Britain - fulfilling the PM’s commitment to growth in every postcode - and we’re buying British, delivering new jobs, skills, apprenticeships and opportunities for young people from a wide range of backgrounds. Those in any doubt about the value of that investment to our people should ask our reps in GMB, Unite, and Prospect. Labour values in action. I’m happy to sing the red flag, but this Labour government won’t wave the white flag #TUC26 #Congress26

No more excuses. We need homes, jobs and economic growth. Time for Labour to get building.

Cathie was of the kindest people in the Scottish Labour family who had time for everyone. Thinking of her many friends and family. We have lost one of the good ones.

Better pay, safer workplaces, more family-friendly conditions - this is what union recognition brings. But weak enforcement on union access rights stops progress. We will not let US-style union-busting take root in the UK. @antoniabance

What a privilege it was to introduce Alex Logan to Prime Minister @andyburnham and see him recognised for nearly 50 years of service at Ferguson Marine. Alex has spent 48 years working at the yard, including 25 years and counting as the @GMBScotOrg Shop Steward.
