Rarely do my Lists demonstrate the huge benefits of this Labour Government more than this one. Such improvements, based on facts and evidence cannot be disputed.
I congratulate our Government.
The Tories and Reform UK have abandoned British interests to become ideological satellites of radical US conservatism.
The Guardian calling Badenoch and Farage out for their blind allegiance to Trump in preference to Britain

My second List in 24 hours. Marking major reform as the Hereditary Bill has finally passed. A new Civil Society Council is formed and the majority of water bill increases have been stopped. Good news for UK startups and those producing wind turbines. Labour is rebuilding Britain
Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.
The Tories and Reform UK voted against.
Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.
Whilst the news is monopolised with the Iran our Labour gov continues to deliver for the British people. Further measures to protect women and girls delivering on manifesto commitments alongside strengthening our communities and helping 16 year olds with vocational options 👏👏👏
People also need to remember that Keir put country first throughout covid. Unlike the tories who grifted and acted thoroughly shamelessly
Churchill has retrospectively been turned into a cartoon like superhero who could do no wrong and who we all owe a debt of gratitude forever.
The gold standard of leadership.
A man of supreme wit and gifted with statesmanship unrivalled by any other
It's far more complicated and interesting 1/3
Wow! Excellent speech from Rachel Reeves in her Spring Statement just now.
Worth listening to it all - only about 25 minutes.
I'll share what I can below.

Announcements from our Labour Government - most unreported by BBC, radio and the media.
The big one is the crack down on public sector fraud saving taxpayers £7.5bn.
Share far and wide we need to do the job of our media.
👏👏👏👏
Keir Starmer is a PM whose priorities and decency align with the majority of British people.
He hasn’t responded within a political bubble with the US. He’s taken a view based on Britain. And has not kowtowed to Trump.
I imagine that sits right with at least 75% of UK (guess)
The UK Prime Minister is making a statement this afternoon in the House of Commons on the Middle East.
It will likely be a 10 minute statement followed by an extended question and answer session.
I estimate it could start in about 15-20 minutes.

“We are not at war and we are not getting involved in offensive action that the U.S and Israel are taking”
Prime minister Keir Starmer
So very disappointed in the UK public again, who time and again create quick, reactionary opinions before finding out facts.
They allow themselves to be swayed by media headlines and repeatedly fail to fact check sources of truth before sharing their misinformed views.
For those believing the mainstream media BS about the UK’s involvement in Trump’s illegal Iran war.
Don’t look back in anger… on Friday. Only Labour can beat Reform. 👇🏻

A busy 24hrs of announcements. Here’s 11 bits of good news from our Labour government. Not widely available in our media without a negative slant. If at all.
Energy bills down, EV costs subsidised, greater Russian sanctions, investment in social housing & GP access changes
Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.
Absolutely!
The change we’re bringing for children with SEND is to get them better, earlier support — where they need it and when they need it.
More good news for dental services.
Labour promised 700,000 additional urgent appointments and have so far delivered over 1m more.
But the definition of 'urgent' has been deemed too narrow, so it's being expanded so many more people in need to dental treatment will be helped.

I'll be joining you tomorrow. Please wait for me .
Labour delivering very good economic news this week alongside some big news for Wales and SEND education. Also new tech for illegal waste is already delivering with multiple arrests.
A special call out to Rachel Reeves this week. 👏👏👏👏
⬇️ Inflation down
⬇️ Interest rates down
⬇️ Borrowing down
⬆️ Retail sales up
⬆️ UK fastest growing European G7 economy
There's more to do, but Labour's economic plan is the right one.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The only bad news around at the moment is for the Right Wing groupies.
No wonder they wanted Starmer and Reeves gone so badly
He's risen even higher in my estimation.
Ignore the professional gloomsters and doomsters.
- Borrowing ⬇️ (record surplus last month)
- Inflation (and interest rates) ⬇️
- UK fastest growing European G7 economy
- Retail sales up 4.5% over the year
There’s lots more to do but Britain’s economy is on the mend.
BREAKING: UK Posts Biggest Ever Budget Surplus as Tax Revenue Surges
Britain recorded the biggest budget surplus on record as a bumper month for the public finances was augmented by a surge in inflows of capital gains tax and lower debt payments

Labour are cracking down on runaway private special school fees for SEND pupils.
Fees currently average £63k a year - more than double to the cost of state special schools' £26k.
Over 30% of private special schools are backed by private equity firms & there is no evidence of better outcomes

Good overview of the workload on staff and MPs, and what the role of the MP is/could/should be.
I prioritise dealing with casework quickly over replying to policy emails because e.g. helping a person access disability support is more important to me...

Simon isn’t on here so worth a copy to share with you all.
