This conference was a vindication for everyone who fought for a transformational Labour Government. A Prime Minister trying to make life better across our country. Decent housing. Fixing social care. Taking on water profiteers. The left was right to demand better. Keep pushing. 🌹

Justice for Grenfell has already been delayed for far too long. With the Crown Prosecution Service expected to make charging decisions ahead of the 10th anniversary next year, it’s vital a plan is put in place to avoid years of further delays in the courts.

This is remarkable.
Bar chart which shows y-axis running 0-8000, and x-axis showing years 2019 and 2024. For 2019, a light orange bar runs up to just over 6000, with a darker orange running up to 8000. For 2024, a green bar runs up to 4000, with a dark green running to about 5000. The text "40% lower" is on the lighter green bar. Text at the top of the graphic reads "Estimated air pollution deaths are down by around 40%. New analysis estimates deaths associated with air pollution in London reduced substantially between 2019 and 2024." Text at the bottom of the graphic reads "Note: darker shading shows estimated ranges. Data based on a comparison of estimated mortality burden using updated methods and a scenario-based analysis where only air pollution changes. Source: london.gov.uk/aqmortality".
