This Government is getting on with the job: we’ve now banned the online bots which have been scraping up driving test slots. This will help to prevent the exploitation of learners and will help to drive down test waiting times.👇🚗 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgp…

This is why we're on your side. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

Remembering the 97 on the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy. ❤️

Never forgotten. Remembering the 97 and all those affected by the Hillsborough disaster on the 37th anniversary. You are in our thoughts today and always. You'll Never Walk Alone. ♥️ From Kenny, Marina, Kelly, Paul, Lynsey and Lauren.

For more than four decades, miners and their families have been forced to live with unanswered questions. Today, I am formally launching the Orgreave Inquiry to uncover the truth of what happened. I pay tribute to the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign, the National Union of Mineworkers, and all those who campaigned so tirelessly to reach this moment.

Today we remember the 97 men, women and children unlawfully killed at Hillsborough, thinking of their families as always, never forgotten. Our thoughts are also with fellow survivors, we know this is a difficult day for us all, reach out if you need to chat Unity is strength 🔥

They will never be forgotten ❤️

Thinking of bereaved families and survivors today, 37 years on #JFT97 #YNWA

This morning, we were delighted to welcome Aviation Minister, Kier Mather MP, to the airport, as he officially opened our new solar farm. He was also shown around our upgraded departures area, new Aspire Executive Lounge and met @easyJet for a tour of their facilities and an aircraft pushback. @transportgovuk

Our Armed Forces keep us safe at home and abroad. Yet Kemi Badenoch says our brave RAF pilots are just "hanging around". She must apologise.

Deal agreed 🤝 A £1bn New Medium Helicopter deal will bolster the UK’s battlefield capability and make Yeovil @Leonardo_UK's global centre for military helicopter production and exports. 🚁 We've ordered 23 AW149s for the @BritishArmy & @RoyalAirForce. des.mod.uk/new-medium-helico…

As the situation in the Middle East remains volatile, we are deploying our Type-45 Destroyer, HMS Dragon, to the Eastern Mediterranean. We are also sending two Wildcat helicopters to Cyprus to bolster drone defence for our Cypriot partners. Working alongside our allies, our Armed Forces are committed to protecting regional stability and keeping people safe.

Protecting British citizens — at home and overseas, including in the Middle East — will always come first. We will take whatever steps are necessary to safeguard our people and defend our national interests, and we stand with our allies in their lawful right to self-defence. Our focus is clear: protect life, reduce tensions, and maintain regional stability. Interview footage courtesy of @Channel4News

Together for a strong Europe.

What and incredible turn out this morning. @AndyBurnhamGM and @AngelaRayner joined our candidate Angeliki along with activists from all over the country to kick off a day of campaigning. Also live music from special guest @tomhingleymusic from Inspiral Carpets.

Proud to be in Gorton and Denton today supporting Labour’s brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia along with Mayors @AndyBurnhamGM @TracyBrabin @DSkaith

I am currently on Reservist training. Here in Norway with the Royal Marine Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron. Dusting off some old skills and drills in the Arctic Circle. It’s -18C but still workable for insertion skills. Norway is not just a strategic ally it’s a geopolitical partnership. With Russian submarine and naval activity in the North Atlantic increasing by over 30% in the past two years we need to increasingly work together. Lunar House is our bilateral agreement with the Norwegians and it’s going from strength to strength. This is the biggest deployment of Marines to the high north in some time.

The Royal Marines were in Parliament last week talking about Arctic and Cold Weather Warfare (🥶🥶) capabilities and the importance of alliances to protect the High North. Given recent global developments this has never been more important. I’ll be in Norway next week, not as a Minister but as a Royal Marines Reservist…. donning a green suit once more. See below this is what our Commando Force is all about…more to come. 👇

Tommy Robinson-backed Reform candidate @GoodwinMJ still hasn’t said a single word about whether he welcomes his endorsement. It should be simple to condemn Tommy Robinson and say he wants nothing to do with him and rejects his support. Why won’t he?
