A rainy but very warm welcome in Henleaze this morning. The Bristol North West Labour team and I get out and about all year round to listen to local residents - come rain or shine!

Bristol North West is home to some brilliant high streets - including Gloucester Road, with the longest stretch of independent shops in Europe. The Government is putting power back in the hands of local people, backing local businesses and giving communities a real say over their high streets.

This. It only confirms what the majority of us already know but the hard of thinking Reformers could do with watching it. Everyone knows at least one 'white, angry old man', show them.

Another £36M donation has been made to Reform, taking the total amount in the last 24 hours to a total of £72M. This is a huge problem for British democracy, and it needs to be addressed. We cannot risk our democracy being sold off to the highest bidder, who sets to benefit from a Reform Government.

Britain is pro-innovation, a world leader in science and a brilliant place to start up a business - especially when using AI. We must get the balance right between this and rightly calling for multi-lateral frameworks for the safe development of technology. 👉 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

The economy is starting to turn the corner thanks, in part, to the actions of the Labour Government. But the conflict in Iran will increase energy and food prices. It’s right the PM supports people through difficult times while delivering a credible long term plan to improve living standards.

Britain's relationship with Europe matters: for our economy, for our security, for our future. We’ve reset that relationship, from improving trade and cooperation to restarting youth mobility. There's still more to do - because a stronger partnership with Europe means a stronger Britain.

Me too, this is the first time in Labour's long history a sitting Labour PM has been ousted by the PLP (not the party members). It's a shameful, shabby episode and has disillusioned many members, a few like me now ex members.

The record temperatures, wildfires and drought we have seen in the UK & Europe is climate change in action. There is hope. It has been a record year for renewable energy generation, all new homes will have solar panels from next year. But we must accelerate the transition to clean & green energy.

🧵 1/ After another week of reporting on Nigel Farage and Reform UK’s finances, I still have major questions about who is actually funding them, and whether it was properly declared. Farage and his cronies have responded with bluster and mudslinging. So let's look at the actual facts.

From the campaign trail and the media studios to the Treasury, No10 and the Cabinet Office. It’s been a privilege to be in the cabinet of a Labour government and to serve the country. Andy Burnham has called to tell me I won’t be a part of his cabinet. I wish him and his team every success.

We Starmer ultras (only 20 of us apparently) are deluded if we think Starmer will be remembered kindly by history. He took Labour from zero to number 10 in 4 years, 30 bills passed the legislative stages in his 2 years in office and he's just been awarded the Legion d'honneur. Deluded, nah.

Trust in politics depends on transparency. That's why conflicts of interest must be declared, lobbying rules must be upheld, and saying "it's none of your business" isn't good enough.
