Today's local gov finance settlement signifies the start of rebuilding the sector and support our communities. Councils know the importance of stability and staying the course. And we're starting to see the difference. Instability achieves nothing for the people we serve.

As the nation commemorates VE Day, Labour is announcing a new UK-wide veteran support system, called VALOUR, to ensure veterans have easier access to care and support. We owe a debt of gratitude to those prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Wonderful to be at the Crucible in Sheffield this week- the home of snooker- for the semi-final of the Snooker World Championship. Great to join @LouHaigh, a long standing supporter of the Crucible. We accidentally wore matching dresses👇👗

Have you ever thought about standing for your local council? Do you care about your community? Could you put your ideas into practice? @serj4hasland says why she became a @UKLabour councillor. You could too. #Labourcllrs @LabourCllrs

.@KemiBadenoch it’s disgraceful you are cheerleading another country for detaining and deporting two British MPs. Do you say the same about Tory MPs banned from China? This government will continue to stand up for the rights of our MPs to speak their mind, whatever their party.
"It's shocking that we have Labour MPs who other countries will not allow through" Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says countries must be able to "control their borders" after two Labour MPs were denied entry to Israel #BBCLauraK bbc.in/4jqjxpD

This is deeply concerning and unacceptable. Solidarity with @Abtisam_Mohamed and @YuanfenYang.
A joint statement from @YuanfenYang and me on the Israeli authorities' refusal to admit us entry to the occupied West Bank:
