14 years of Tory government left our prisons on the verge of collapse.

Labour is taking action to clear up the mess.

👷The biggest prison building programme since the Victoria era.

📝 A Sentencing Bill which will reduce reoffending and crime.

✅ Punishment that works.

The Tories can’t have it both ways.

Do they support investment in our NHS, and the difficult decisions made to pay for it?

Or are they happy with growing waiting lists, crumbling hospitals and more ill-health?

Until they answer that, they are not remotely serious.

The Chancellor changed Tory fiscal rules last autumn so we could properly invest in Britain’s security and prosperity. This was the change the country needed - and voted for.

A very welcome statement yesterday by the Chancellor using these new tools for the country’s priorities. 🌹👇

Yesterday, the OBR confirmed that Labour’s planning reforms are working.

And we are just getting started.

Enjoyed a thoughtful discussion with Harry Cole and Sir Simon Clarke @TheSun @LabourGrowth

Labour is the Party of working people - and we must always support people to work if they can, whilst ensuring those who cannot live with dignity.

That’s good for the individual, their families, our communities, and wider society.

@BBCNewsnight last night on welfare reform 👇i

I’m totally unapologetic about the government’s decision to prioritise defence spending and our country’s security.

Labour is the Party of Atlee and Bevin, central to the creation of NATO and fervent in our support for our armed services.
