With Labour, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%. The dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.

Women experiencing rough sleeping are often hidden from official statistics - and therefore the support they need. I’m supporting @SHPcharity and @SolaceWomensAid’s #MakeWomenCount campaign, calling for the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census to be rolled out nationally from 2027.

If something says it’s half price, it should actually be half price. If you can subscribe in seconds, you shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to leave. Labour are stepping in by cracking down on phoney discounts and making it easier to cancel subscription traps.
