Last week, I delivered my maiden speech. Besides expounding the joys of Buckingham & Bletchley, I recognised those who'd helped me - but most importantly told our young people that regardless of your background, Britain is still a country where you can make it if you work hard.

RT @LucyMPowell: Bringing back hope to our education system, to our children and to our country, that’s my goal as Deputy Leader and Labour…

Don’t let us down.

I am determined to be the one to fix our social care system.

This is huge.

What drives me is creating good growth in every postcode

If you don't have help from the bank of Mum and Dad, this is for you: This government is introducing the Your First Home scheme to help more young people buy their first home with a deposit of just 2.5%. That means less to save upfront, and lower monthly costs once you’ve got the keys. And this help is coming soon, with pre-registration set to open by the end of the year.

Expansion of Jobs Guarantee to put young disabled people at the front of the queue. This is the kind of change we need.

In case you missed it, three big wins for the UK at the UN this week. When we work together – the way we have this week – we are all safer and stronger.

Businesses have responsibilities – rewarding workers, reducing emissions, respecting communities. I’m calling on them to work with government in our national mission, using their power, influence and resources to tackle the poison that is misogyny. lbc.co.uk/article/businesses…

As Prime Minister @andyburnham said at the @UN General Assembly, the UK is standing up for our values and the rule of law. This is exemplified by our exceptional candidate for judge to the International Court of Justice @DapoAkandeLaw, who joined the UK delegation for #UNGA81.

“I've never let anyone stop me from doing anything.” — Jamie Clarke From Captaining England & GB Deaf Football to modelling, @JayyModel is a huge inspiration. He sat down with @bphillipsonMP to share the advice he’d give his younger self on chasing your dreams!

“Trying to be nice and decent to people is much better than being routinely rude.” Labour Party Chair Bridget Philipson responds to Kemi Badenoch’s ‘people pleasing’ claims of Prime Minister Andy Burnham. #Newsnight

We should come down like a ton of bricks on those who are violent against women – whatever their background. Yet today, you only ever hear women's safety mentioned by right-wing politicians when they are discussing immigration. It's weaponisation. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Absolutely brilliant result in New Bradwell overnight, with a resounding Labour win in our city. Milton Keynes is getting a fantastic, locally-rooted representative in @DrTABailey - and I could not be prouder of our campaign🌹

It’s International Week Of Deaf People! @bphillipsonMP sat down with @JayyModel for a lesson in BSL. Learning basic introductions is a simple step toward bridging the gap between the hearing and Deaf communities! Do you know how to introduce yourself in BSL? ⬇️

Expanding access to affordable credit, encouraging saving & strengthening financial resilience in communities across the country. Thank you to credit union leaders for joining me at No 10 North today to discuss how we can help facilitate the further growth of the sector 🤝

Climate change is an urgent national security issue.

We've all heard someone say 'school wasn't really for me’. And we should think about why that is. Our system is set up to reward young people who thrive in academic subjects and exams, but what about those who learn best by getting stuck in and doing things? Too often they're left behind. So we’re introducing new vocational GCSEs - proper, nationally recognised qualifications giving young people practical, hands-on learning that they can study alongside Maths, English and Science. And we’re creating 200,000 more work experience opportunities, so every teenager gets the chance to experience the world of work before they leave school. A one-size fits all approach simply doesn't work - I want to build an education system that values both academic and technical paths and gives all young people hope that their future will be brighter, whether it starts at university or not.

Our climate is changing and the Government has one message: Britain is stepping up. Cleaner energy. Lower bills. More jobs. Protecting nature.

Jade is one of the very best. Her knowledge, experience & passion has been invaluable for Britain & for AI. She was also a huge support to me personally. We need more great women in tech and AI so I’m v pleased about her new roles. Thank you Jade 👏 gov.uk/government/news/dr-ja…
