The reality for Amina caring for mum. Her earnings limit will increase from £151 a week to about £196 “I nearly started crying when I heard about the announcement. It means at the end of the month I won’t be struggling, worried or anxious,” she says. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp9zrg12…

Pleased to raise the vital work that 311,000 unpaid carers in Wales do every day. It’s crucial they have support & are not pushed into debt. I’m glad the UK Gov have launched an independent review to find out what went wrong with Carer’s Allowance under the previous government.

We have issued the following statement: The awful and shocking murders of three young girls in Southport on Monday 29 July have deeply affected so many here in Waltham Forest and across the country. We refuse to be cowed by those who seek to exploit this tragedy.

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

While election night did not give us the MP we hoped for in Broxbourne, we delivered a Labour government by a landslide. We woke up this morning to Sir Keir Starmer in 10 Downing Street ready to work on delivering change.

This Thursday, Britain faces a clear choice – five more years of Tory chaos, or my changed Labour Party that will turn the page and start to rebuild. This is your chance to vote for your future. Vote Labour on Thursday.

Today I’ve set out Labour’s plan to create 3,000 new school-based nurseries, to drive high and rising standards from children’s early years. A Labour government will deliver life chances for children and work choices for parents. Paid for by ending private schools’ tax breaks.

The Conservatives made a pledge without a plan. Only Labour has a plan to deliver the childcare our country needs. Only Labour can bring the change our children deserve. Sign up now to back our plan: labour.org.uk/childcare-plan

🏘️ @Keir_Starmer will not sit by as the Tories leave a generation of young people to become renters for life. Labour will get Britain building and deliver the change needed to get first-time buyers on the housing ladder.

My grandad, who was a WW2 Corporal, ran a @PoppyLegion club in Cheshunt. My grandmother was a Sergeant. I've worked with disfigured veterans and cadet charities. It was a very special moment to mark #DDay80 and honour those who gave their lives so we could live in freedom.
Our candidate, Catherine Deakin, shares what a privilege it was to attend the D-day celebrations in Hoddesdon this evening, and her family's deep commitment to our Armed Forces. Lest we forget. #DDay80
