We made tough but fair decisions to rebuild the foundations of our country. Now, we can look to the future. Our NHS — a neighbourhood health service — ready and available to serve people in their communities, close to their homes.

🆕 Government to abolish committee systems - stating they are 'unclear, duplicative, and wasteful, leading to slower, less efficient decision-making' 📉 Bristol's Green-led committee system has lacked accountability, transparency, and political direction labourbristol.co.uk/2025/06/24/gov…

🚸 Prior to the 2024 local elections, 48.5% of EHCPs were completed on time 📉 After a year of the Greens running Bristol City Council, this month’s figure has dropped to 3% - and was even as low as 1% this February 👎🏻 Simply not good enough bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A Britain that is better off cannot rely on a handful of places forging ahead of the rest of the country. Today we are investing billions in transport projects across the North, Midlands and West of England. Change promised. Change delivered.

We may be in an era of five party politics. But there’s only really two sides. Our side: a politics of love, compassion and community. With the ideas to transform Britain. And their side: a politics of anger, division and blame. Posing only a risk to Britain. So I say to the…
