This is what we're about - bringing communities together with ownership.
That's because we think communities should be at the heart of politics, not just an afterthought.

Parliament has completed the Second Reading of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.
This Bill legislates for a new Community Right to Buy in England, automatic registration of sports venues as Assets of Community Value, and expands the definition of ACVs.

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills down.
Before recess, over 100 MPs in the Living Standards Coalition called for progressive changes to reduce bills for low- and middle-income households.
Thanks to DESNZ and Ofgem for pursuing this.

To get living standards rising, we need to get energy bills falling.
That’s why over 100 Labour MPs from the Living Standards Coalition have written to @Ed_Miliband.
We're asking him to consider progressive price changes that will get bills down more quickly.

That’s why we delivered a pay rise — with 1,500 nursing vacancies in the East Midlands, action was needed. If we want nurses, we need to pay for them.
