The Tories crashed the economy. In January, Reform said Labour was pushing us into recession. With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

Given the appalling conditions we know they are being held in, it’s imperative that humanitarian access reaches the hostages and that Britain makes every effort with international partners to secure their release.

Last week, I welcomed Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell to the Wirral, where we discussed your experiences of antisocial behaviour (ASB). I took Emily to Grove Park where residents have been in touch with me about the impact ASB here has on them.

Pleased to sign my colleagues letter urging the Financial Conduct Authority to crack down on the practice of insurance firms charging excessive interest rates to customers paying monthly. We need to put an end to rip-off prices and deliver savings on insurance costs for our constituents.

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Those standing in the way of a clean energy future are undermining the security of this country.
