Today I argued for raising inheritance tax, a tax on a hand out, unearned wealth, in exchange for cuts in income tax-a tax on work. This has riled up lots of people on here. But I think it’s essential to make capitalism function. Watch my argument in full. youtu.be/YSruUZBxlrE?si=jr15…

We're facing a housing crisis — it's ridiculous to let land we could build on sit empty and disused.
I said I would get Britain building. I am.
We're unlocking brownfield railway sites across Britain to build 40,000 new homes.
Giving more families the security they deserve.

And we're only just getting started...
ALT Text: So what has Labour done in the last year? A lot can happen in a year with a Labour government. Four million extra NHS appointments delivered. A Border Security Command launched. GB Energy set up. Breakfast clubs rolling out. Wages for millions of workers boosted. Undeserved bonuses for water bosses banned. Ninja swords outlawed. More potholes filled. Trade deals with the EU, US and India secured. A sustained increase in defence spending confirmed. A National Wealth Fund set up. Our planning system reformed. The Rwanda scheme scrapped. The pensions Triple Lock guaranteed. The biggest uplift to workers' rights in a generation. School-based nurseries rolling out. Record returns of people with no right to be here. Bus services improving. Rail back under public control. A 10-year plan for the NHS published. British steel protected. Together, we've done a lot, but there's much more to do.

This interview with @TomBaldwin66 draws out the private Starmer that those of us who follow him about and see when the camera isn’t rolling & he’s not in public view.
He is, of all the PMs I have covered the most ‘ordinary’ and down-to-earth & yet the public perception of him is often that he’s posh, lofty, out of touch.
I think one of the most revealing segments about Starmer is that he delayed his family holiday - his first in a year after that mad election period & early days of govt - to go to to Leeds clean out his brother Nick’s home after he died from cancer, throwing away the rotting food from the fridge, picking up dirty clothes and cleaning out the bath & loo. Why didn’t he get a cleaner in? “I didn’t want anyone else there. He was my brother – I didn’t want to let him down.”
