The Tories are sitting on their hands while families face a catastrophic rise in energy bills and oil and gas producers watch their profits pile up.
This is an emergency situation that requires an urgent response.

First Liz Truss says she’ll cut the pay of public sector workers outside London, now Rishi Sunak is boasting he fixed the rules to give taxpayers’ money to rich Tory shires.
This leadership race is revealing the Tories’ true colours.
Britain needs a fresh start with Labour. https://twitter.com/REWearmouth/status/1555475661917421568
EXC: @RishiSunak told Tories in Tunbridge Wells that as Chancellor he tried to reverse Treasury formulas "that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas" so areas like theirs could benefit

Sky-high inflation, rocketing energy bills & Bank of England warnings of recession on the horizon.
Whichever continuity candidate wins, their low-growth, low-wage plans won’t fix the damage caused by 12 years of Tory rule.
Only Labour can provide the fresh start Britain needs.

We all celebrated the Lionesses' stunning victory, now we must secure their legacy.
The Tories are failing to seize this moment to ensure girls can play football at school.
I've written to the Education Sec demanding an 'Equal Access Guarantee' for school sport 👇🏼

🧵People are worried sick about energy prices rising again in the autumn, but yet again we see eye-watering profits for oil and gas producers. (1/3) https://twitter.com/emilygosden/status/1554349645341630464
BP's profits surged to $8.5 billion in the second quarter - three times higher than a year earlier (and close to record highs seen in 2008) thanks to high oil and fuel prices
It's using the cash to buy back $3.5 billion of shares this quarter and has increased its dividend too
Thank you @OxleasNHS for the warm welcome to the Goldie Leigh site in Abbey Wood last week.

Anyone for a party? 🎉
#NichelleNichols, famous for playing Uhura on Star Trek has died. Martin Luther King urged her to stay on show to continue to inspire African Americans, she inspired Whoopie Goldberg to act, did the first TV interracial kiss and worked for @NASA to recruit female astronauts #RIP
The legendary Nichelle Nichols - who played Nyota Uhura in #StarTrek - has sadly passed away aged 89.
She inspired many. Rest in Power 🤟🏾
I am *loving* Alex Scott and Ian Wright telling it like it is about women's football. 🙏🙏🙏 #Lionesses

As always, the threat to LGBT people is from the far right. https://twitter.com/marclister3k/status/1553358800345858049
Neo Nazi Mark Collet’s Patriotic Alternative are in attendance at todays protest against drag story time in large numbers today. This is at Crayford Library I believe.
Their futile attempts to claim they’re not Nazis while stood under PA banners doesn’t really wash
Really powerful story from @DawnButlerBrent - I recently found a breast lump and had my first (early) mammogram. Luckily, I got the all clear
Make sure you get checked out if you find a lump and make sure you attend your appointments for mammogram screenings! #FindtheMillion
This has been one of the hardest moments of my life.
Thank you all for the love and support I have received❤️
I've spoken to @MetroUK about my breast cancer journey.
I'm on a mission to find the Million Missing Mammograms #FindTheMillion👇🏾(1/3)
