Kemi Badenoch says she is excited about cutting the state pension 👇
I’m determined to go further and faster to kickstart economic growth.
That means generating investment, driving reform and boosting trade.
I will fight every day to deliver that growth and put more money into working people’s pockets.
I am honoured to be appointed by the Prime Minister as Economic Secretary to the Treasury. I look forward to working with the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP to boost the critical role of financial services in driving growth across the country and delivering vital services to people.
The Tamil community in Manor Park celebrated Pongal (harvest festival) with an outdoor event despite the cold! It was amazing to see so many come together for this special occasion. Proud to be part of Newham’s vibrant Tamil community yesterday. #Pongal2025
"The reason so many parliamentarians come is because so many people around the country care about it." @stephenctimms opens the #WorldWatchList parliamentary launch that he is co-hosting with Bishop Philip Mounstephen.
Torsten Bell MP has been appointed as Minister for Pensions for the Department for Work and Pensions and @hmtreasury
Delighted to join @stephenctimms and other ambassadors for a welcome update. Partnership between govt, disabled people’s organisations and business by industry has to be the only way for us to make progress on structural inclusion. Thanks to @DWPgovuk and @cabinetofficeuk hosting
We’re making sure disabled people are at the heart of everything we do.
That's why Minister for Social Security and Disability, @stephenctimms, joined the Disability and Access Ambassadors to hear how they are championing accessibility and disabled customers.
Our predecessor Committee suggested that the Carer's Allowance earnings limit should be pegged to National Living Wage.
The Govt is now implementing that recommendation. The limit will equal 16 hrs at National Living Wage.
More carers will now qualify for the payment. ✅
East London praised for start-up growth
East London is the start up capital of England. Data by @WPI_Strategy for the East London Growth Group reveals how entrepreneurship is flourishing in places such as Newham which has seen a 175% surge in SMEs created since 2010. @howarddawber @stephenctimms
Would like to say a huge thank you to MP @JamesAsser and Councillors @blossomyoung and @toniiwilson1 for taking the time to discuss and support East London Gymnastics Centre on the @BBCLondonNews
@SaveELGC really appreciates the support 🫶🏼
We wanted to say BIG thank you to @GMBLondonRegion for their generous donation to the Grunwick 50 & to all the individuals #WeAreTheLionsMrManager we are nearly 50% funded: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/we-are-the-lions-mr-manager
This MP is a co-sponsor of the Bill
The inability to have a clear (or even any) answer to this question is one of the many reasons why this Bill needs proper scrutiny if it were to pass; and why so many like me have deep concerns
Constituents, please keep emailing me your views
It’s #PurpleTuesday 💜
We’re determined to ensure disabled customers and their families have equal access to every opportunity.
New figures out today show good news for working people on pay, but much more needs to be done to improve living standards and create opportunities for everyone to get into work and on at work. 1/2
An honour to join the very moving Remembrance Service at @DWPgovuk this morning alongside reservists, cadets, veterans and our Armed Forces Champions.

This morning I had the honour of reconnecting with @stephenctimms and thanking him personally for his invaluable support in my recent election, and meeting Newham Mayor @rokhsanafiaz
Truly grateful for their time, leadership, encouragement and inspiring commitment to Newham.
Newham Council & people across the UK remember and honor the brave hearts who sacrificed lives for freedom, was the result of the collective efforts of the UK&Commonwealth countries, fighting together to bring World War I to an end in 1918. Let's always keep them in hearts🌺🤗
Last week I asked the business and trade minister about battery safety following a fire in Plaistow caused by the failure of a lithium battery.
We need to raise awareness about safe use of e-bikes and e-scooters including safe disposal of lithium batteries.
