26 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Despite what you've heard this week, we're delivering on our manifesto with over 4,600 teachers recruited into where we need them most – secondaries, special schools and colleges. That's alongside more teachers in training, more rejoining and more staying in our schools.”↗
25 Jun 2026Cost of Livingdefensive“I stand by my record – including putting us on course for a record reduction in child poverty – and if the Tories think that makes me a 'spiteful class warrior', it tells you everything you need to know about them.”↗
25 Jun 2026Educationangry“The Tories left behind a mess that I've spent the last two years clearing up. In that time, they've come up with one policy: to cut state school budgets to reinstate private school tax breaks. Two years, one policy, no clue.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The constant chatter about private schools reminds me exactly why I do this job. We’re raising more money than expected, school offer days passed smoothly, and we’re injecting money into state schools. My focus remains on the schools attended by the majority of kids in this country.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“📈 3,008 more teachers in secondaries & special schools 📈1,646 more teachers in colleges 📈Trainee teachers up 13% 📈 Teacher pay up 9.5% 📈 Record investment in schools If standing up for state schools makes me a spiteful class warrior, I’ll wear it with pride. #PMQs”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationangry“Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Commentators, columnists and opposition politicians were apocalyptic with claims that ending private schools' tax breaks would overwhelm the state sector. The data shows those predictions were wrong. www.lbc.co.uk/article/priv...”↗
23 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“I'm delivering the most radical and consequential agenda for education in living memory. To see it becoming a reality, to know the difference it is making to the lives of children, is a special privilege.”↗
22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Keir Starmer has changed our party and our country for the better. He brought Labour back from electoral oblivion, has restored our reputation abroad, stabilised the economy and will lift half a million children out of poverty. We owe Keir a huge debt of gratitude.”↗
20 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Green shoots of progress: for the first time in five years, more children and teenagers are enjoying reading. Go all in with the National Year of Reading. 🌱📚”↗
18 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“Men should not beat up women. Full stop. No excuses. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...”↗
18 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Did you spot our new ad for Get Into Teaching during the football? 👀 Teaching offers variety, creativity and progression. We're recruiting thousands more teachers to support every child to achieve and thrive. Get out of the everyday. Get into Teaching. youtu.be/rqCxG4d_aao?...”↗
17 Jun 2026Social Caremeasured“As a government, we acknowledge the role that the state played in historic forced adoption including the harm and trauma that followed. We will deliver both the apology and the support that those affected deserve.”↗
17 Jun 2026Social Careempathetic“I am proud that this Labour government is closing such a shameful chapter in this country's history. To all those women and their children failed by the British state, you will get the apology - and justice - you so profoundly deserve. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...”↗
17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“So this day doesn’t come with warm words alone as it has in years past. It comes in a context of record investment in schools, near 10% pay rises, better maternity rights, more work underway on wellbeing. Lots done with your support. Lots more still to do – we will get it done.”↗
17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“The changes that we’ve driven – record attendance gains, improved behaviour, free breakfast clubs rolling out, more children enjoying and feeling they belong in school – they’re only possible when we come together. My department will always recognise that fact, and value you.”↗
17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“I’m grateful for the work of our teachers every day, but special thanks today. As Education Secretary, I remain committed to listening to and working with teachers to give children growing up in our country the best start in life. #ThankATeacherDay”↗
16 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.”↗
16 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“This government turned the tide on school attendance, with 140,000 fewer children persistently absent. We're equipping schools with the tools they need to go further, spreading best practice and state of the art data so we can get children can achieve and thrive in school.”↗
16 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Hard work finding a spot on a busy campaign wall in Makerfield! Send Reform packing, back Labour and Andy on Thursday. 🌹”↗
15 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The Tories can dance to Reform's tune, Labour will stand against injustice and inequality – whether that's by driving up academic outcomes for white working class boys or making services accessible to disabled people.”↗
14 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentdefensive“The progress that we've made can't be taken for granted. So when right-wing politicians attack equality laws remember what they really are – maternity rights, disability rights, policies we've fought for to drive progress in our society and defend working people.”↗
13 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Really important piece from @itvnewspolitics.bsky.social on a topic that's been overlooked for too long: outcomes for white working class kids in places like where I grew up have - for too long - been dreadful. This Labour government is doing something about it. youtu.be/yFQ4JEBowzU?...”↗
11 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“The biggest difference we can make to children's life chances is in the early years. That's why we're building on the proud legacy of Sure Start through Best Start in Life – online, in our family hubs, in our school-based nurseries, in our free breakfast clubs and beyond.”↗
10 Jun 2026Othermeasured“Equality matters. Where things aren't fair, we should put them right. The Tories can turn a blind eye, Labour will take action.”↗
9 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“High quality early years education transforms children’s life chances. Labour has made childcare more accessible & affordable with 30 funded hours and school-based nurseries. Now, we're backing those doing vital work where it's needed most. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...”↗
9 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Working with schools and families, Labour has driven the biggest attendance gains in over a decade – 140,000 fewer children are persistently absent. Today's analysis shows we have further to go, and we're equipping schools with the tools they need. www.dailymail.com/news/article...”↗
8 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Thanks to the 93% Club for popping by the Department for Education last week. State school proud.”↗
6 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“10 million free breakfasts served is a massive achievement. It's not just about the breakfast, it's the club too. A softer start to the day that gets children ready to learn and helps parents juggle work and family life.”↗
5 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Nigel Farage's refusal to condemn the violence and thuggery we've seen in recent days is revealing. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”↗
