🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Burnham: "I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough. Brexit has done more harm than good. We need to restore a higher level of growth and prosperity for Britain." Britain needs EU membership - only then will we have the growth that our country needs.

🚨 NEW BEST FOR BRITAIN RESEARCH 🚨 If Labour commit to rejoining the EU in the next manifesto they will be the party most likely to form a government. If Burnham wants to stop Farage, grow our economy and bring Britain to the top table, he must commit to EU membership.

Reform is attempting to rabble rouse to avoid scrutiny of their actions and the campaign for caps on all political donations - share this to stand up for this debate and protecting our democracy from the crypto billionaires.

As a parent of a disabled child, you don’t want special treatment, just the right support to help your child thrive. Yet families are battling for every assessment while private equity firms cash in. We’ll end this racket, cap profits at 8%, and treat SEND as critical national infrastructure.

We’ve gone from 25% steel tariffs, to 0%, up to 50%, and now back to 25%. We’ve all seen this routine before. Trump causes chaos, Nigel nods along, and British workers pay the price. It’s time the government got serious about trade with our European and Commonwealth allies.
Tweet from Alex Wickham: "NEW: The White House says US tariffs on UK steel and aluminium will remain at 25% for now

The UK has failed to get the 0% tariffs promised in the US ‘deal’ last month implemented in time for tomorrow

Still, all other countries will be hit by 50% tariffs

So everyone’s a loser"

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
Screenshot of an amendment to the King's Speech, voted on 23 July 2024. The Amendment is to abolish the two-child benefit cap and is signed by all four Green MPs.
