John Prescott was a true friend of local government and inspired so many.

We thank him for all he did.

Goodbye and rest in peace. 🌹🌹🌹

We are overjoyed that our National Chair Mike Katz @mike-katz.bsky.social has been asked by the Prime Minister to join the House of Lords as a Labour peer.

Mike has been at the very centre of the fight to rid the Labour Party of antisemitism. We are proud to have him as our Chair. Mazal tov, Mike!

Over 150,000 children in England will spend this Christmas without a proper home

This is the reality of the current housing system was broken by the Conservatives

A system which has left over one million families stuck on housing waiting lists and locked an entire generation out of homeownership

The number of homes that were granted planning permission fell from 302,000 in 2021/22 to 236,000 in 2023/24.

This Labour Government will modernise planning committees and give us the quality homes and infrastructure we are all crying out for.

Great to welcome Liz Kendall MP to Smith Sq for a wide ranging discussion with @bevcraig.bsky.social about tackling child poverty, devolving employment support and the role local councils play in getting people back to work.

For personal reasons, this debate has been difficult. I am glad this bill has passed but we must make sure palliative care and support are also improved alongside.

No matter where people sit on this, I think we can say Parliament conducted itself as it should. MPs have handled this with sensitivity and compassion.

A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

Inspiration.
Exceptional community leadership

Special award for Cllr Marion Atkinson from Sefton Council in recognition of her leadership following the tragic Southport stabbings.

Want to give a mention to Liam Robinson who won Leader of the Year at the LGIU awards. Under his leadership Liverpool Council has been transformed after a difficult few years. As all good leaders - he gives full credit to his team!🌹🌹🌹

We are deeply saddened to hear the news that John Prescott has died. John was a staunch defender of local government & a passionate supporter of devolution. He was a great campaigner who will be missed by so many in our Party.

Our thoughts are with Pauline, Jonathan & David.

The viral rumours about the sub judice Southport case should raise the issue of what X monetised, funds & incentivises

Musk's company will pay Paul Golding and Britain First for 1 million views for this. Are they *still* paying Tommy Robinson for the content for which he was jailed for contempt?

Great to discuss devolution and local growth opportunities for our regions at the #NSRegDev event in Manchester last week.

Our English Devolution White Paper will set out our plan for shifting power out of Whitehall with wider and deeper devolution. @newstatesman.com

This is really worrying and I fear will only get worse on that platform.
A prominent contributor to fuelling escalating online rumours about the sub judice Southport case was former No 10 advisor Dominic Cummings.

He got 845k views for a "nothing would surprise me" tweet sharing the rumour (235pm, Nov 17th) before tweeting that this "does NOT stack up" an hour later

The local government pension scheme is one of the largest in the world, it has more potential to deliver for members in retirement and invest in the places they live.

The Government is committed to play its part to realise its full potential.
