Clean energy getting bills down, homes being insulated. Fundamentally, the cost of living is what we will be judged on.

Preventing wars requires preparing for them. Wars are conflicts between economies. The side that marshals the most resources wins. To deter Putin, Britain needs to build its fighting economy. See my article setting out how for @ConGeostrategy here: buff.ly/ZK2lVVI

A divided nation is a weaker one. We meet this moment by creating a stronger nation, where everyone can earn a decent life.

🌍 ‘Preventing a wider conflict in Europe means preparing to win one decisively. Winning a conflict is a matter of economics and strategy,’ writes @jeevunsandher.bsky.social, MP for Loughborough, in a new #Memorandum #BritainsWorld

Warfare is changing rapidly. Today, a $1000 drone can destroy a $10m tank. To compete on the battlefield, we need to innovate rapidly. A Multilateral Defence Bank would ensure defence SMEs have the capital they need to do so.

Grateful to @mariecurieuk.bsky.social for meeting me this week. I'm pleased to support Amendment 21 to the #EndOfLifeBill which would include reporting on palliative & end of life care. Palliative care & patient choice go hand in hand to ensure a holistic approach for people who are dying.

Across the political divide, people are united on the need for a change in the law to give terminally ill people choice and dignity in their dying days.

🏥 Today on #InternationalNursesDay, I want to recognise the incredible work nurses do every single day. That’s why we delivered a pay rise — with 1,500 nursing vacancies in the East Midlands, action was needed. If we want nurses, we need to pay for them.

Reform and Green voters are far more likely to say that British politics makes them angry Some of these voters supported us in the July '24 election These are the voters who are financially strugggling and now want radical change (h/t @ailsahenderson.bsky.social)

Honoured to attend three VE Day services yesterday, remembering the courage of the greatest generation who won through sacrifice.

Today marks 80 years since Victory in Europe Day. We remember their sacrifice and service. Two key takeaways for me: 1) Protecting the peace means stopping foreign dictators like Putin. 2) We have to support our veterans as we are doing with the VALOUR program

We are losing voters to Reform and the Greens because they can't afford a decent life. But life is unaffordable for these voters in different ways. 👇 is what's happening and how we get them back. Labour List: buff.ly/SZCzC8A Substack: buff.ly/NSLBULN 🧵 below (1/6)

We need strong borders. But we should remember the valuable contribution migrants make to our country. There is a difference between us and Reform. They want to blame migrants for every problem we face.

Reform UK stooge doing a bang-up job of defending their links to Putin.🤣 "We think what Putin has done is disgraceful. BUT... What are you going to do? Put our armed forcees in harm's way to defend somebody that we don't have that much to do with?" ~AA @jeevunsandher.bsky.social

I am proud that Keir Starmer and Johnny Reynolds have agreed an historic Free Trade Agreement with India. The UK and India are two great democracies. With a shared history and values. This trade deal will help strengthen our ties, making both nations better off.

Nigel Farage came to Loughborough. We have very different values. I believe in a stronger, united nation. Farage believes in a weak, divided one. That's the choice: strength vs. weakness.

Populist revolts, military invasions, and a burning planet are the existential threats that we face. These times require a new expression of our values: Strong Labour.    Strength built on our prosperity, connection, and common purpose   Link: buff.ly/EDkVmpi (1/6)

The war in Ukraine is exposing tensions between expendable and exquisite defence platforms. Yesterday, I asked the Secretary of State how Britain will manage this trade-off to keep ourselves, Europe, and Ukraine safe.

I have been sanctioned by Putin for calling for us to do all we can to defeat him. A century ago, politicians in my position made the mistake of letting a dictator redraw European borders by force. If trying to stop that happening again means I am sanctioned, then so be it.

Pope Francis showed that the best expression of our humanity is found in serving others. That we are all each other's neighbour. That empathy, service, and compassion define a life well lived. May he rest in peace.

Happy Easter everybody! At this time of year, I like to remember the eternal values that Jesus Christ espoused. Of empathy (Matthew 7:12), forgiveness (Matthew 5:7), and our duty to future generations (Psalm 89). I hope you all have a great day with friends and family.

Today's falling inflation is good news But we've had higher inflation than other nations because we are dependent on natural gas. Natural Gas sets our electricity price 98% of the time vs. 58% in Europe If we want inflation down for good we need clean energy
