After 12 years of Conservative mismanagement and incompetence, our country is stuck facing huge backlogs.
Britain deserves better.
The reality of Britain under Boris Johnson.
Our servicemen and women in the Armed Forces defend our democracy and our country.
Their role is the ultimate public service – and no matter how adversaries seek to undermine our beliefs, we will always believe that our country is worth defending.
.@RachelReevesMP says the UK should be incredibly proud of the global success of its financial and related professional services industry, the world's biggest exporter of these services.
Labour will re-energise Britain.
That’ll be your money he’s been burning through ✈️

NEW: We’re now seeing the longest decline of UK incomes ever.
It’s sapping household spending and leaving us exposed.
The Tories are failing working people.
All they offer are stagnant wages, low growth and higher taxes.
We need a stronger economy.

What a wonderful evening meeting Black, Asian and ethnic minority businesses at our @UKLabour reception tonight.
Inspiring entrepreneurs, brilliant businesses and industry leaders like these are shaping the future of the landscape with their formidable talent.
Fantastic meeting with @vaughangething this afternoon to talk about growing our economy, building strong procurement practices, and the brilliant work Labour in power in Wales is doing.
Enough is enough.
When will the Tories have the guts to tell this shameless Prime Minister the game is up?
#PMQs
.@AngelaRayner absolutely right - the first instinct of this Tory government is to load higher and higher taxes on working people.
No answers AT ALL on how they're going to tackle the problems that face our economy or our country today.
The game is up. #PMQs
NEW: Under the Conservatives the amount of money stolen from families and businesses through fraud has reached record highs.
Britain deserves better than the Tory “whack-a-mole” approach to fraud.

Britain under the Tories: high tax, low growth, low delivery.
We knew the Tories were high tax low growth. They are also high tax low delivery. From today’s debate on Backlog Britain.
Wonderful to visit real living wage pub the Artichoke in Norwich.
With the cost of living crisis, a living wage makes a huge difference to people - but businesses like this are also struggling with rising costs.
Labour will build the stronger economy we need to tackle this.
Britain’s backlog is a result of a decade of Tory mismanagement and sheer incompetence.
Britain deserves better.
The Tories must get a grip now, stop with their sticking plaster approach and sort out the bottlenecks and delays they’ve caused.
Labour has a plan to tackle to tackle rape - because we are serious about ending violence against women and girls.
Rape prosecutions are still at near record lows & court backlogs are still at near record highs.
Three years on from recognising their failure, the Tories haven’t done nearly enough.
Labour’s plan would drive up prosecutions & restore victims’ confidence in our justice system.
Thanks @RachelReevesMP for highlighting the scandal of low pay in the heart of government. They wash their hands of the issue by privatising the work & saying pay is the responsibility of OCS or Mitie etc. Sunak should insist the living wage is paid as a minimum or no contract. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1541756893915389953
Today I called for the Chancellor to pay at least the real living wage for all those who work for government - including contractors.
He refused.
The Tories are choosing to trap people in poverty pay as the cost of living crisis worsens.
Working people deserve so much better.

Months of waiting for a passport or driving licence.
Travel plans disrupted.
Hospital appointment and court dates delayed.
This is Backlog Britain - and it's the result of 12 years of Tory mismanagement of our economy.
Britain deserves better.

Why do the Conservatives blame working people for rising inflation?
They simply won't face up to the fact that a decade of Tory wage stagnation is making matters worse.
@wesstreeting & I spoke to @Anoosh_C about how Labour will build a stronger economy.

Under the Tories, your bills and taxes have risen to historic highs.
Labour has a plan to take on the Tory cost of living crisis and build a stronger economy.
Fraud is rife under the Conservatives.
Britain deserves better than this.
Last week, @wesstreeting & I visited Leeds General Infirmary to see innovations the hospital is driving forwards.
Despite government dragging its feet on delivering the new hospital it promised, the teams here are achieving so much.
Labour will make our NHS fit for the future.
The Tories now face a credible Labour party: a government-in-waiting with a plan to deliver on the country’s demands.
We will not shy away from that responsibility, duck those challenges or fail to grasp the opportunities our country has.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/26/labour-has-now-claimed-the-centre-ground-and-has-shown-it-can-win
During the last 12 years in government the Tories have been responsible for low economic growth and stagnant wages.
Working people and businesses across Britain should not be made to pay the price for Tory economic failure.
Our country deserves so much better than this.
Under this Tory government, Britain’s growth has ground to a halt.
And they are too distracted by their own failings to deal with it.
Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and build a stronger, more secure economy.
Such a lovely day campaigning in Norwich North, followed by a quick trip to the Artichoke pub - a real living wage employer.
This weekend across the country, we'll celebrate Jo Cox’s #MoreInCommon mission with the #GreatGetTogether.
We'll celebrate community events that bridge divides and champion what unites us, bringing us together.

The PM just admitted on @BBCr4today that the economy “has not grown as it should.”
Lack of growth has hit wages, tax revenues and national prosperity.
I’d like to thank him for confirming what Labour has been saying is true.
People have the lowest consumer confidence in 50 years.
This is what happens when an out of touch Tory government increases taxes on working people, squeezes wages, and has no plan to get the economy back on track.

Crime fighting? This government?
They could start with the £11.8bn of covid fraud which the Chancellor allowed by failing to apply the most basic of checks - even when warned.
Colossal amounts of public money now in the hands of organised criminals.
Lol Dominic Raab saying they are focused on crime fighting which is a weird focus because crime is up 18% and charging and conviction is down 18%. Not the go to I'd think if you are claiming to be good on delivery.
So proud of Wakefield’s new MP, the fantastic @simonlightwood.
This was @UKLabour’s biggest victory here since we were last in government.
This decisive result shows Labour is winning the trust of the British people, and firmly on the path to power.
Congratulations @simonlightwood!
You’re going to be a fantastic MP.
So proud that Wakefield will have the fresh start it deserves with a Labour MP.
A huge well done to all of those who campaigned so hard to make it happen.
Sunshine in Wakefield today out on the #labourdoorstep 🌹 #votelabour
Great reception out on the #labourdoorstep today for @simonlightwood - managed to squeeze in a quick ice cream break too!🍦Six hours till polls close #votelabour
Good to hear coverage of the UK’s lack of access to the #Horizon science programme on #r4today this morning.
Exactly the sort of area @UKLabour will deliver on by focusing on practical improvements to our trading relationship with the EU
With the eyes of the country on Wakefield, a defeat for the Conservatives here could boot Boris Johnson out of Downing Street.
Today is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The power is in your hands. Use your vote. Vote Labour.
Reporting for duty with Shadow Chancellor @RachelReevesMP and Labour members to get out the vote for @simonlightwood in Wakefield.
Polls are open! Getting ready to head out on the #labourdoorstep.
Today, vote for @simonlightwood for the fresh start Wakefield deserves. #voteLabour
This is a government that lets rapists off, and lets victims down.
This Conservative Government’s Bill of Rights con is an attack on women.
It will make it harder for victims of rape to get justice.
But it comes as no surprise from a Govt that has effectively decriminalised rape.
Great visit to Leeds General Infirmary with @RachelReevesMP earlier! Now out in Wakefield for eve of poll knock!
Wonderful to meet the amazing staff and see the brilliant work going on at Leeds General Infirmary today with @wesstreeting.
The government promised a new hospital here - but it's another promise that's been broken.
Labour will make sure our NHS is fit for the future.
Thousands of holiday flights cancelled.
People unable to renew their passports.
Biggest rail strike in a generation.
The Tories simply aren’t doing their job.
#PMQs
NEW: Inflation up at 9.1% today.
Inflation is pushing family finances to the brink - but the low wage spiral many face isn’t new.
It’s a result of a decade of Tory mismanagement of our economy.
Labour will build the high wage, high growth, stable inflation economy we deserve.
"Johnson wants you to think his failing government is handling the economy well. That is yet another lie. The Tories are overseeing a criminal waste of Britain’s potential," @Alison_McGovern writes: https://labourlist.org/2022/06/the-conservatives-are-overseeing-a-criminal-waste-of-britains-potential/
Do your job. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1539140544005296130?s=20&t=gnPAWvW7pXlduiZ33_EOBA
'Why aren't you rolling up your sleeves and getting around the table with the unions?' - #KayBurley
Transport Sec @grantshapps: 'If I thought there was even a one in a million chance that my being in the room would help sort it out, then I'd be there.'
http://trib.al/woIKE9l
This is a catastrophic failure of leadership by @GrantShapps.
Today I told him, once again, to get around the table and do his job.
This Thursday is Wakefield’s chance for a fresh start.
A vote for Labour’s brilliant candidate @SimonLightwood will send a message to the Tories they can’t ignore: Wakefield deserves better.
#VoteLabour
On Thursday, we have an opportunity send a strong message to Boris Johnson that enough is enough - and deliver a fresh start for Wakefield.
Every vote is going to count.
Join our campaign over the next five days and help us win back Wakefield.
Britain is home to millions of creative entrepreneurs and start-ups.
But under the Tories, some British businesses are unable to thrive.
The next Labour government will work with businesses to make Britain the best place to start and grow a business.
The Transport Secretary has got some brass neck to be touring the TV studios blaming everyone else for travel chaos 🚂🚌✈️
#Ridge
Labour mayors are all doing their bit to help tackle the cost of living crisis. Great work @andyburnhamgm.
Bus fares across the whole of Greater Manchester are being capped to offset the rising cost of living. The Mayor wants passengers to pay no more than £2 a journey or £5 a day. Children's fares will be no more than £1.
Andy Burnham says it's part of his bus reforms.
This week I launched Labour’s new start-up review, to make Britain the best place to start and grow a business.
Our esteemed panel will help us make sure start-ups here can reach their full potential, in one of the most innovative countries in the world.
