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

This Labour Government is determined to bring back hope for young people. This is how.

What drives me is creating good growth in every postcode

Let's be honest. A lot of young people have stopped believing they'll ever own their own home. That's what happens when rents are high, house prices are high, and saving for a deposit feels impossible. My Labour government is stepping in to help. With Your First Home, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%. Because hard work and saving should count for something. And because the dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.

I know I’m usually in Liverpool to support the Blues… but the next few days are all about the Reds 🌹

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…

Labour is giving young people the support they need.

Really lovely to meet so many in the community today. Looking forward to another big campaign weekend 💪 See you there!

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…

We've all walked past them. The empty shop that's been boarded up for years. The old cinema gathering dust. The building everyone says, "someone should do something about that." Well, that's exactly what I'm doing. We're investing £210 million to help bring neglected high street buildings back into use - turning empty spaces into community hubs, health centres, shared workspaces, cafés and the local services that people actually want to see. The funding will also help communities save spaces like pubs and sports clubs and support co-operatives so local people can share directly in their area's success. People don't measure growth by looking at a spreadsheet. They measure it by looking at their local high street. That's how we restore pride and bring hope back. Not by telling people things are getting better, but by giving them the power to see and feel the difference where they live.

Labour is giving families breathing space – opening new school-based nurseries, offering parents 30 hours of government-funded childcare and bringing back the best of Sure Start with Best Start Family Hubs. Reform UK are closing nurseries. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmdx…

Today @wesstreeting and I met some of the representatives of the nuclear veteran community. We talked about what the veterans and their families have been through and what matters most to them now. This is the start of a conversation, not the end, and we'll be working together on next steps.

Labour is ensuring that every young person is prepared for the world of work, by expanding vocational GCSEs and creating 200,000 more opportunities for work experience.

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.

This is our Industrial Strategy delivering on its mission to reindustrialise Britain and bring growth across the country.

Today at the UN Security Council I had a simple message for the Russian representative: It's time to tell Putin the truth. The world knows that Russia is failing in this war. The Russian people can feel it and ministers know it too. The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
