19 Jul 2026Educationangry“The Tories never understood that the things helping young people to get on in life don't just exist within the school gates. If you dismantle Sure Start and push children into poverty, don't be surprised when schools reform doesn't translate to success down the line.”↗
18 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Last week, I delivered a speech on the future of childhood and education. Our childcare rollout has made life easier for parents. But in time to come we must go further. High quality early years education must be there for all our children.”↗
17 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“People told me SEND reform couldn't be done, but I've never believed that. We've got a long way to go but by working with MPs and families with experience of the system, we're building a system where every child can achieve and thrive.”↗
16 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“With Labour, we've got more people starting apprenticeships in: Engineering Construction Science Maths Health Business Digital Law Care Education Tourism Social science If you want more opportunities to get on, Labour is backing you.”↗
16 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Under Labour, school standards are rising. It's a testament to the dedication of our teachers. School leaders and staff have shown extraordinary professionalism this year – an enormous thank you. My piece for @schoolsweek.bsky.social ✍️ schoolsweek.co.uk/key-stage-2-...”↗
16 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Key Stage 2 results are in... Since we entered government, children’s reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar, maths and science have all improved. School standards, attendance and behaviour are all on the up under Labour.”↗
16 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“308,770 people started an apprenticeship in 2025/26. That's 8.7% more than last year. Apprenticeship starts collapsed on the Tories’ watch and young people took the biggest hit. They've never dropped once under this Labour government.”↗
15 Jul 2026Jobs & Employmentcelebratory“There'd be no Employment Rights Act without people seeing unfair practices at work. There'd be no Child Poverty Strategy without people having grown up around it. Don't underestimate how the Cabinet's background has affected the decisions we've made. It's why we're Labour.”↗
14 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“How are our schools getting on after two years of change? 🏫📈”↗
14 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“When you're living rent free in the Tories' heads, you're doing something right. You can listen to my full chat with The News Agents wherever you get your podcasts.”↗
13 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“Thanks to everyone who has been in touch in recent weeks, seems I'm not the only 'spiteful class warrior' out there – here's my new T-shirt haul. I spoke to The News Agents about why I wear the Tories' jibe with pride. You can listen to that wherever you get your podcasts.”↗
10 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“School support staff deserve better. That's why we're bringing back the School Support Staff Negotiating Body, to give them all a seat at the table. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...”↗
10 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Attendance improving, behaviour improving, exclusions decreasing, suspensions decreasing. 👏 The efforts of schools, parents and government are working - tackling the causes of misbehaviour and building a system where every child can achieve and thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
10 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“A new report has shone a light on poor outcomes for white working class children. I've been banging the drum on this and will keep doing so. It shows we need to go even further on driving up attendance, on expanding early years education and on tackling child poverty.”↗
9 Jul 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“The Equality Act is our quiet guardian. On the side of women, workers and those with disabilities when needed most. We will not let Reform UK turn back the clock on our rights.”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Childhood is changing, and so must education. Today I spoke about how in a world transformed, education is what will truly set us free. www.gov.uk/government/s...”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“50 years ago, Jim Callaghan delivered a speech at Ruskin on the future of education. Today, I'm doing the same. High-quality early years education is how we close the disadvantage gap. Expanding it to those who need is most is the future of education. www.nurseryworld.co.uk/content/news...”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“Here's what my speech today is about. Opening school-based nurseries and rolling out 30 hours of government-funded childcare has halved costs for parents. But we need to open up access, so that children who have the most to gain from high-quality early years education get it.”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Evidence shows Sure Start improved educational and health outcomes for children. That's why we're bringing it back for the modern day, through Best Start in Life.”↗
6 Jul 2026Local Governmentangry“Joseph, a local NHS worker, asked why a Reform councillor in Sunderland wanted to melt him down to fill in potholes. The Reform council leader repeatedly failed to apologise to Joseph. Joseph deserves better. Sunderland deserves better. Councillor Gibbins is not fit to represent our city.”↗
6 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Over half of parents worry about school uniform costs. Some have gone without heating or eating to afford it. We've changed the law to cut costs. The Tories and Reform opposed it, calling it 'interference'. Labour will always interfere to back families. www.lbc.co.uk/article/wont...”↗
4 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratory“Over 6 million young people can now access mental health support through their school or college, with 800,000 more to come this year. We're supporting every child to achieve and thrive.”↗
3 Jul 2026Cost of Livingcelebratory“Labour is lifting the largest number of children out of poverty in a single Parliament ever. We know the decisions the Tories and Reform would make.”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“Support will go towards helping people access their adoption records, fund intermediary services, as well as research and testimonial projects to document the long-term impact on people’s lives.”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“Today, we're apologising to those affected by the injustice of forced adoption, as this government acknowledges the role of the state in the appalling practice. An apology cannot undo what happened, but it can be the start of real change.”↗
2 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Following our rises, teacher pay now averages over £50,000. We will double teachers’ maternity pay. We are working with leaders to improve wellbeing and workload. And, crucially, our approach is working. Teacher retention rates are amongst the strongest on record.”↗
1 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Teachers are getting a 6.5% pay rise over the next two years. That's a 17% rise secured in my time as Education Secretary, alongside action on wellbeing. Under Labour, we have more teachers staying in their jobs, more rejoining & more training to teach. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
30 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“We're making teaching a better place to be and our approach is working, with some of the best teacher retention rates on record.”↗
29 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Tackling poverty and inequality has been my focus since day 1 as Education Secretary. That's why I've rolled out funded childcare, free breakfast clubs, Best Start Family Hubs, expanded free school meals and scrapped the two child limit. 500,000 children out of poverty.”↗
29 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“Our country is one of the most unfair in the West. The class you’re born into too often dictates what you can go onto achieve. White working class children feel that. Labour is focused on improving their education, giving them better chances, better choices, and better lives.”↗
