Tory cuts to our local budgets over the last 14 years have decimated SEND provision. They want us to forget what got us into this mess.

At Full Council, I spoke about West SILC’s fantastic post-16 provision and this Labour government's recent investments in SEND provision.

🌹 Grateful to the committed Labour activists who joined us on the Upper Reach Estate this morning to speak to residents about the issues that matter most to them.

We picked up several issues which we will be following up this week. Thank you to all residents who gave us their time this morning.

Our first Leeds City Council Outer West Community Committee meeting of the year is Monday 30th June from 1pm at Farnley Hall. It would be great to see residents there as we take decisions on funding applications for community projects, as well as decide on our local priorities for the upcoming year.

🥵 I haven’t done a parkrun for years but I came out of retirement for the 10th anniversary of Bramley Parkrun this morning.

🏃🏻‍♂️ A really welcoming group of volunteers, runners and residents. Thank you to everyone who makes Bramley healthier and happier.

Following ours and local residents' representations to West Yorkshire Police, a Section 61 has now been agreed and the Travellers will be moved on from Bramley Falls sports pitches today.

Our next steps will be to review the damage on the site, arrange repairs and look into preventative measures.

NEW: This Labour Government is extending free school meals to 500,000 more children.

Any child whose parents receive Universal Credit will be able to get free school meals.

This change will benefit many in Bramley, Stanningley and Rodley, saving families around £500 a year.

🇬🇧 A pleasure to visit Ghyll Royd Care Home for their VE Day celebrations. It was great to meet residents, many of whom have served our country and put their lives on the line for our freedom.

Thank you to local Labour Councillors Eleanor, Sonia and Oliver for inviting me.

Under the Tories, military homes fell into disrepair.

Labour is setting new standards, with better move-in conditions, more reliable repairs, and a named housing officer for every family.

🌞 Out on the Calverleys with Rachel Reeves and Labour activists speaking with local residents about the issues that matter to them.

Thank you to residents for speaking with us and giving us a warm welcome.

🚮 Thank you to local residents and volunteers who joined us on the Broadleas yesterday for our community litter pick. So grateful to everyone who gave up their time to make our streets cleaner and tidier.

Our community shouldn’t have to put up with rising crime or antisocial behaviour.

That’s why Labour’s Crime and Policing Bill will give police and communities power to take back our streets and tackle serious violence.

NEW: Today, the Labour government announces the first schools that will become the first to offer a new free breakfast club.

I'm pleased that Bramley St. Peter's Primary School will benefit from this initial rollout. This will ensure children are fed and parents can drop them off in time for work.

OWN GOAL: Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch has refused to support the government on introducing a football regulator.

As #LUFC fans, we know how important it is to prevent inappropriate owners taking charge of clubs for financial profit with no interest in improving the club.

Today, my thoughts are with the Jewish Community in Leeds and across the UK.

80 years since Auschwitz was liberated, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis.

We must stamp out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.

NEW: Labour MPs have just voted for an Armed Forces Commissioner - a direct point of contact, dedicated to improving service life for our armed forces personnel, veterans and their families.

This Labour Government is prioritising those who risk everything in defence of our freedoms.

🧑‍🍳 Fantastic to visit Flourishing Families at Bramley St. Peter's School with our MP and Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

🥘 We spoke with families about the support they are receiving from this brilliant local organisation and was shown a Family Cookery Club in action.
