A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system.
Today I set out a different path for Britain.
You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics.
Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love.
If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other.
It's time to draw a line.
To move beyond a decade of drift and division.
To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country.
To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode.
To hope again.

The Labour Movement for Europe Rally at 2026 Labour Conference kicks off with @stellacreasy: “in this room, we’re bringing Europe back.”
Day 2 starts with a speech from @wesstreeting and a strong commitment to supporting Ukraine 'Yesterday, today, tomorrow: we are with you for as long as it takes'
Now to @labour4europe rally where @stellacreasy talks about #MadeinEurope and how it can help British jobs.
The brutal reality of the last ten years have made things clear. We need allies more than ever for our economy, security and future.
There is war in Europe, trade and security less predictable, AI changing work at record speed, and climate change reshaping the world and this is felt around the dinner table, in energy and food security.
Amazing to have @jonasgahrstore
at #Lab26. Of course it wouldn’t be right without opening with some football remarks.
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
He emphasises the importance of @andyburnham phrase of breathing space: people need to feel it, and politics has to deliver it.
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
The right often forgets what the welfare state is for—opportunity and security for all—and we must lead in improving and modernising it.
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
Norwegian Labour learnt to govern differently: fewer priorities, clearer choices, and room to change when the world changes.

“It is fun to be elected but it’s better to be reelected.”

Norway gave a guarantee of a fixed electricity price, and every year Labour has been in government they have cut kindergarten prices.
This is equality in everyday life—this is what our movement is here for.
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
“If people are talking about their electricity bill we can’t respond with a lecture about how the electricity market works.”
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
In Norway they were tested on this: for a long time in the early 2020s the government was thrown crisis after crisis to deal with, and this opened up a distance between them and citizens.
Replying to @LabourInt @jonasgahrstore
He speaks about the importance of giving people breathing space in the UK and across Europe.
Although the everyday questions can get lost, these are the very questions people use to judge if the government is working for them and if it understands their issues.
