This is an issue lots of people have got in touch with me about across our communities.
We're backing researchers to instead deliver solutions that protect animal welfare.

Today, the Government is rolling out the first national network of veterans support centres, and launching its new Veterans Strategy, backed by £50 million.
This is the first Veterans strategy in 7 years, and will transform government support for our national heroes.

I was nearly 5 years old when Hillsborough happened
The Hillsborough Law is for the 97, but also for those who fought for justice when they'd been betrayed by authorities meant to protect them.
Brave families will never again be left fighting endlessly for that truth.

No child should die because a landlord ignored mould on the walls.
Awaab’s Law makes that promise real – forcing landlords to act fast or face the courts.
This is our Labour government turning heartbreak into justice, protection and decent homes for millions of families.

It’s fantastic that this week the government have taken further steps to give the Environment Agency stronger powers to hold water companies to account, through a new consultation.
This will mean quicker and tougher penalties and no unfair bonuses for water company bosses.
