Thank you to everyone who came to my re-election campaign launch today!
I grew up and live in Ealing North. After 14 years of the Conservatives, we need to change the government.
In the coming weeks, we'll be asking people to vote Labour on July 4th and help make that happen.

The Tories' unfunded plan to abolish national insurance would leave a £46bn hole in public finances.
For four hours yesterday they refused to come clean about the impact of this plan - and even voted to cover up its cost.
The Tories are the reckless party. It's time for change.

When Rishi Sunak claims he'll cut taxes, it's another broken promise.
Any money families might get from the national insurance cut will be wiped out by the council tax hike.
After 14 years of economic failure, only Labour's plan will grow the economy and make people better off.

When I visited the U.S. last year, the lessons from their experience were clear.
Boosting growth needs strategic public investment, higher private investment, and, critically, reform of our country’s infrastructure.

JUST ANNOUNCED: I’ve stepped in again to freeze all TfL fares as the cost-of-living crisis continues to hit Londoners hard.
While people across the country face another hike in their rail fares, I'm not prepared to stand by and see Londoners face a similar hike.

Rishi Sunak is raising taxes on working people with the average family set to be £1,200 worse off.
It beggars belief that at the same time, he is freezing taxes on his private jet trips around the UK.
It shows just how out of touch the Conservatives are.

In the pandemic, £15.9bn was lost on covid fraud and wasted PPE, as the country was allowed to be ripped off.
Labour will create a Covid Corruption Commissioner to chase down every pound we can.
The Conservatives just do not get how angry people are at being taken for a ride.

However you voted four years ago, you’re still waiting for the change you demanded.
I changed the Labour Party - not for the sake of it, but to put us back in the service of working people.
Now, I want to change the country.

I've written to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury asking her to justify the Conservatives' claim - or else correct the record in Parliament.
After 13 years of economic failure, only Labour’s plan will get the economy growing and make working people better off.

Despite 25 tax rises in this Parliament alone, the Conservatives are trying to claim the amount of tax people owe has gone down.
But that’s not what the facts tell us, and it’s certainly not what most people in Britain feel.

After today's Autumn Statement, the tax burden is still forecast to be the highest since the war.
Inflation forecasts are up. Next year's growth forecast is down by more than half.
It's time for Labour's plan to get our economy growing & make people across Britain better off.

This is the cost of the Tories.

Many families dream of owning their own home.
But Tory economic failure is shattering those hopes.
It is clear that the Labour Party is now the only choice for people who dream of owning their own home.

On NATO's 74th anniversary, Labour is deeply proud of being a driving force behind its foundation and our commitment to the Alliance is unshakeable.
Labour in Gov will secure Britain’s place as NATO’s leading European nation and ensure our commitments are fulfilled in full.

Watford’s Ken Sema suffers with a stutter, but he bravely came out and did the post-match interview last night... ❤️
This will really help a lot of people. Anyone who suffers with a stammer knows how hard and deflating it can be. Brilliant @Semaken! 👏
