Reform is not on your side...
Labour is banning fire and rehire. We’re stopping the abusive use of zero hours contracts. And we’re protecting workers against unfair dismissal.
Reform’s MPs voted against all of these basic rights at work

The UK is currently 98% below the trajectory for home energy efficiency installations we were on in 2010.
Our report recommends:
✅ A Warm Homes Advice Service
✅ EPC reform
✅ Skills + accountability
✅ Rebalancing of policy costs to deliver lower bills
Time to get retrofit back on track.

The Tories crashed the economy.
In January, Reform said Labour was pushing us into recession.
With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

80 years ago, the freedoms we enjoy today were defended by the remarkable generation of WWII.
This morning in Formby, we paused to remember their courage and sacrifice.

Britain wants energy independence.
Those who oppose this Government’s path to energy security are standing in the way of that independence.
They’re standing against lower bills, high-quality British jobs and an end to vulnerable imported energy.

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Those standing in the way of a clean energy future are undermining the security of this country.

Maghull Health Park has @lcrmayor.bsky.social backing to develop plans for a National Mental Health Research & Diagnostics Centre.
Mental illness costs the country £300bn a year—and untold misery for millions.
Today, I had a very encouraging response from the Chancellor on government support.

Today, I welcomed swift govt action to support the UK car industry in response to US tariffs – crucial for constituents working at JLR Halewood.
Many EV drivers benefit from cheap electricity; many more should and will if govt cuts electricity prices.

The implementation of US tariffs highlights the need for government support for strategically important industries, including steel.
I asked the Secretary of State if he shared my view that retaining sovereign steel-making capacity is vital in an uncertain world.

The Heathrow power outage has highlighted gaps in resilience and a lack of back up in the power system. The short comings at Heathrow show the government’s plan to expand of the electricity network as part of its Clean Power Mission is more important than ever.

The Conservatives have abandoned evidence-informed policymaking.
Evidence to the Select Committee shows reducing reliance on fossil fuels will lower bills.
I asked the Minister if he would cut household bills now by rebalancing the levies, which are part of how we pay for infrastructure.
