So in Jan, under Rachel Reeves:

Retail sales up 1.8% MoM; 4.5% YoY (MoM)

Initial estimates show that the public sector recorded a Β£30.4 billion surplus ( OBR)

Inflation falls to 3%

I tell you these wretched girls from accounts need to learn their place.

It is deeply worrying to see the Far Right mobilising in Manchester today. Prospect stands against this hatred and division, and in solidarity with the people of Manchester.

Today, most of the Tories' 2016 Trade Union Act has been scrapped.

It's a good day to organise! ✊🌹

Just one week in to 2026 and despite global priorities there is a lot of domestic good news to share. Labour are rebuilding our country and we are seeing the benefits.

Just a few of the rights of working people that Labour have protected with this historic Bill.

Angela Rayner is instrumental and deserves all our thanks.

Kemi Badenoch saying Rachel Reeves is the β€œworst chancellor in history” is a choice. Especially coming from the party whose chancellor crashed markets & blew up everyone’s mortgages in less than 45 days Racheal’s budget is lifting 450,000 children out of poverty. I know whose vision I prefer.

Royal Navy intercepts two Russian ships in English Channel HMS Severn headed off the warship and a tanker as they sailed west through the Dover Strait, the Ministry of Defence said.

At a time when Russian military provocations are reaching directly into our own waters, the idea that any political party would contemplate withdrawing from NATO is beyond irresponsible. Security isn’t theoretical this is a real, immediate threat.

Populism thrives on simplicity and empty promises. So it’s important to keep holding Reform and other reactionary parties to account.

As exampled in this tread, Reform are a threat to economic growth, jobs, and sustainability!

He’s absolutely right! The UK is stronger within the EU, and the EU is stronger with the UK! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Brexit has been shambolic to say the least. I know within some areas of politics it’s easier to shy away from this debate. But we can’t keep pretending the UK will improve drastically outside of the EU.
