Sarah Jones is MP for Croydon Central

Almost a year to the day after ‘A Christmas Carol’ was published the Rochdale Pioneers gathered together and opened their 1st co-op store. Happy 180th anniversary It wasn’t inevitable that they would go on to inspire a huge global movement rather it was the strength of their idea

Potholes have plagued our roads for far too long.

Today we're investing a record £1.6bn to fill seven million more potholes next year.

People driving home for Christmas today can be safe in the knowledge that their journeys will be easier next year.

Funds have been doubled to support more businesses and workers affected by changes at @TataSteelUK’s Port Talbot site.

Welsh Secretary @JoStevensLabour has announced the additional funding to protect local businesses and steel communities.

🚢Secretary of State for NI @hilarybennmp and @biztradegovuk Minister Sarah Jones @LabourSJ were at @HarlandWolffplc in NI to welcome @NavantiaOficial 's purchase of all 4 of its UK shipyards, securing around 500 Belfast jobs

This is a major vote of confidence in the UK

It’s good for jobs, good for national security and good for all parts of the UK

I’m pleased workers at Harland & Wolff can enjoy Christmas safe in the knowledge their jobs are secure for the long term

Today we set out the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement worth £69bn with an extra £3.7bn for social care and a new £600m Recovery Grant directed to areas with higher deprivation.

Big day ahead as we present the English Devolution White Paper to Parliament this afternoon.

Fantastic first session this morning in West Thornton! 🌹

Want to know about our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan?

Watch me and @StarkClimate try (and fail) to play⏱️Just A Minute.

This is the biggest set of reforms to the energy system in generations.

A new era of clean electricity.

Delighted the Govt is taking forward changes I proposed w my Firearms (3D Printing) Bill.

As organised crime changes, legislation must keep up.

The alarming rise in untraceable 3D-printed “ghost guns” is a serious challenge to law enforcement agencies.

1/ Today we’re publishing our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.

A new era of clean electricity.

A bold plan that offers a positive vision of Britain’s future.

A new era for Teesside.

The East Coast Cluster has reached financial close, kickstarting the UK's carbon capture industry.
 
Our mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower is in full swing, creating thousands of jobs & boosting energy security.
 

We welcome Minister Sarah Jones @LabourSJ @energygovuk @biztradegovuk. Sarah was the first woman to be elected in Croydon and highlighted that the current UK government has the 'highest number of female MPs ever in parliament' #PfWConf

1/ Today we have received independent advice from @neso_energy on our clean power mission.

Their report provides conclusive proof that clean power by 2030 is not only achievable, but desirable, and can lead to cheaper electricity and a more secure energy system for Britain.

This Labour Government will dismantle the people smuggling gangs who drive illegal migration, profit from human misery and represent a serious threat to global security.

Great morning campaigning in Waddon with @LabourSJ! Residents shared concerns about fly-tipping, overgrown trees and hedges blocking pathways, and unlit street lights. These issues have gone unaddressed by the council despite reports. We’re here to push for action and ensure our… https://x.com/i/web/status/1852755910613201052

5 things @RachelReevesMP 's Budget will achieve and what they mean for you 👇

Delighted to welcome @Ed_Miliband, @LabourSJ and @olivercoppard to Barnsley this afternoon.

At NUM’s Miners’ Hall we marked an end to the historic injustice of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme.

Sarah Jones: I also agree with the former Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, who said yesterday:

" Conservatives, like myself, should be honest, Reeves is clearing up our mess."

For years campaigners have fought to end the injustice of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme.

Yesterday we acted to return £1.5bn to 112,000 miners.

We owe a debt of gratitude to our coalfield communities.

By ending this injustice, we repay that debt.

Family carers will get the biggest ever boost to the amount they can earn while receiving Carer’s Allowance. That’s the difference a Labour govt makes – supporting carers who do the most important job: looking after their loved ones.

This is a Budget to make sure children are ready to learn.
