Today @Keir_Starmer has committed millions of pounds of new funding for veterans’ homelessness support programmes. Homes will be there for heroes across the UK.

The Office for Budget Responsibility’s extreme conservatism means it has woefully underestimated the impact of Labour’s public spending plans

The Budget fixes the foundations to rebuild our country, and our region, while ensuring working people don’t face higher taxes in their payslips. The Chancellor mentioned the East Midlands a few times today and I look forward to leading the growth agenda in our communities.
This Labour Government’s choice. Fixing the foundations of our economy to in invest in Britain’s future. The choice the Tories made. £22 billion black hole in the nation’s finances and public services on their knees.

We want to give retired workers the long-term financial security they need. That’s why in 2025-26 we’re increasing the State Pension by up to £470 in line with the Triple Lock.

Anyone who lives in Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire knows just how much we’ve been forgotten about for decades. In next week’s budget, the government has the power to change that.
