4 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Bonus good news: the future of teaching looks really promising. Today’s stats show one of the lowest rates of teachers leaving their jobs on record. There’s also been a 13% rise in people training to teach, smashing recruitment targets in subjects like maths and science.”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most. We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.”↗
3 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served. 10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on. 10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs and commutes. Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹”↗
26 May 2026Educationcelebratory“Alongside cracking down on hidden costs, we're bringing accessible, affordable childcare to your fingertips. Our handy new childcare tracker gives you personalised advice on what support you're entitled to and helps you compare providers in your area. 👇 childcare.beststartinlife.gov.uk”↗
26 May 2026Educationmeasured“Thanks to the efforts of this Labour government, families are saving an average of £8,000 on their childcare hours. But I know too many parents are still being stung by 'top up fees'. It's not acceptable. I've asked the CMA to step in. www.theguardian.com/education/20...”↗
22 May 2026Educationcelebratory“Labour is opening up access to subjects that have been the preserve of a privileged few for too long. We're investing in school sport and overhauling the system to end the postcode lottery. Levelling the playing field, so every child can achieve and thrive. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
21 May 2026Educationangry“Across the country, free breakfast clubs are saving parents £450 and boosting children’s life chances. Will Reform councils back Nigel Farage in his attempt to close these clubs, pinch money from parents and take food out of local children’s mouths?”↗
20 May 2026Educationcelebratory“This government is overhauling a broken SEND system that failed children. We want every child to have the right support in local schools, without having to fight for it. We'll learn from international best practice and chart a new path forward, together. metro.co.uk/2026/05/18/u...”↗
20 May 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Another landmark moment in the UK-Ukraine 100-Year Partnership: meeting Minister Yehven Kudriavets to discuss strengthening our countries' ties through education — in a celebration of our lasting commitment to support Ukraine & build opportunities for future generations.”↗
19 May 2026Educationcelebratory“So pleased to welcome new Secretary of State for Health &Social Care, @jamesmurrayldn.bsky.social to the DfE where we met with parents & campaigners today. Building a system to better support children with SEND will need us to work really closely together. James is gripping this right from the off.”↗
19 May 2026Educationangry“With Reform UK, it's always about 'looking after our own' until it comes to feeding children. Labour is providing over 6,400 children across Kent County Council with free breakfast clubs. Reform UK literally want to take the food from their mouths. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...”↗
18 May 2026Educationcelebratory“🔗 Source: www.gov.uk/government/s....”↗
18 May 2026Educationcelebratory“New stats show we now have over 1,600 more teachers in our colleges and sixth forms. With the 2,300 more we have in our secondaries and special schools, Labour is on our way to recruiting 6,500 more expert teachers. We're turning the Tory tide on teacher recruitment and retention. 📈”↗
18 May 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“This is a reminder of what politics is really about. A Labour government delivering for working people and making sure all of our children get the best start in life.”↗
13 May 2026Educationsarcastic“The Tories haven't tabled a debate on education for the King's Speech. I wonder why? Maybe they don't want to talk about all the things Labour are doing to give children growing up in our country the best start in life – so here's your reminder. 👇”↗
13 May 2026Educationcelebratory“We delivered the biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation. Now Labour's Education For All Bill will support children with SEND to get the support they need more quickly, close to home, without a fight. We will enable every child to achieve and thrive.”↗
11 May 2026Local Governmentangry“Reform UK have now confirmed that Glenn Gibbins has still NOT been suspended. Sickening racism from one of Reform’s Sunderland councillors and they can’t even get their act together to throw him out.”↗
10 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“We have delivered good, Labour things – action on child poverty, strengthening workers’ rights, protections for renters. But we can’t and we shouldn’t pretend the status quo is working. To stop Reform, we have to be bolder and we have to deliver change faster.”↗
8 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“These have been a very difficult set of elections. I’ve felt that in Sunderland. But the answer is not to turn inwards. It’s to take responsibility, come together & face up to the challenges ahead. Keir has won before, he can win again. We need to deliver change, not chaos.”↗
7 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Still a couple of hours left to vote! 🗳️ Don’t let Reform’s chaos and division put progress at risk – vote for your hardworking local Labour councillors. 🌹”↗
7 May 2026Educationcelebratory“✔️ Lifting a record number of children out of poverty ✔️ Free breakfast clubs in schools ✔️ Accessible, affordable childcare ✔️ Free school meals for more children Change like that only comes with a vote for Labour 🌹”↗

Reject Reform, back candidates on your side and vote Labour today.”↗
7 May 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“Kemi Badenoch wants to run our country, but she has no clue where the North East is. We're 'nearby' Lincolnshire, apparently 👇”↗
4 May 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“Spotted while out campaigning in Enfield – what’s not to love? Vote Labour on Thursday for councils that are on your side, restoring pride in our communities 🌹”↗
29 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“Thank you to colleagues at the Department for Education and in Parliament who have worked to get it into law:”↗
29 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“I have seen too many preventable tragedies in the fifteen months since we introduced the Bill. It represents the biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation – no more empty words, no more ‘lessons learned’, this is real action at last.”↗
29 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“The Act will make sure all schools teach the national curriculum and since we introduced it, we’ve put the work in to renew our curriculum so it’s cutting-edge. This legislation ensures every child in our country gets an education that leaves them ready for work, ready for life.”↗
29 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“The conflict in Iran – a war we won’t be dragged into – has families worried about the cost of living. By rolling out free breakfast clubs, expanding free school meals and cutting the cost of school uniform, we’ll save families up to £1,000 and boost household finances.”↗
29 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“Fifteen months on, I’m so proud that the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act is now law. In those months, we’ve seen why these changes are needed now more than ever – a short thread below on why that’s the case. 🧵”↗
