UK Labour Member. We won. Now let’s deliver. But taking money off vulnerable people is not the answer to the country’s problems. So let’s not do that 🫡

According to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's former leader in Wales being convicted of taking money to undermine British national interest in favour of Russia is "ancient history". 😂🤣😂

He was sent down for ten years three days ago. Three. Days. Ago. ~AA

"I'm delivering free school meals for the nation"

For next year, Labour will ensure over half a million more children across England will get free school meals, putting money back in parents’ pockets and giving every child the best start in life!

These kids get why this is so important! Do you?

It still hurts me to see the damage the Tories did to our NHS over the years, especially when I look back at where it was when Labour left office in 2010.

It will take time to properly fix our NHS, but Labour has done it before and they doing it again. Here are just some of the ways it's happening!

I'd like to see the response to this if the question added "if that that means universities have less money to spend on UK students".
With Rachel Reeves reportedly set to apply a new tax on tuition fees paid by overseas students, most Britons support such a move at the previously mooted level of 6%

Support: 57%
Oppose: 18%

I've made a few posts about the Labour government's new Critical Mineral's Strategy.

But do you know why it's important?

It covers production of elements from lithium to gallium & germanium to bismuth!

They are all used in the world around us, especially in our technology like phones and laptops!

Earlier this year the UK launched the Global Talent Fund to attract 60-80 of the worlds top researchers (& their teams) in areas relating to the UK's Industrial Strategy.
