Workers, customers and communities should have a stake in the businesses they depend on.
That’s why we’re working to double the size of the co-operative economy. @AngelaRayner sets out how the Government’s new support for co-ops will help turn that commitment into reality.

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your re-election - a true victory for democracy and progressive values.
I look forward continuing to work together as we create opportunities for people in the UK and Brazil.

Rough sleeping is a thing that governments either choose to accept or don't.
This Labour Government does not believe that anyone in this country should be sleeping outside on any day of the week

Ignore the misinformation.
We need to fix a small number of specific flaws that the previous government knowingly left in its Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 to ensure that the enfranchisement measures in that piece of legislation can operate as intended.
We have made clear we intend to make those fixes through our forthcoming Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill.
Once we have done so and can implement the new valuation process, it will be cheaper and easier for leaseholders to extend their lease or buy their freehold.

10 years on from the referendum, Labour’s job is to secure a deal with the EU which protects Britain’s interests for the next decade.

We now know the Tories will put the interests of unscrupulous landlords over those of private renters.
Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, the Shadow Housing Secretary told an audience that our transformative Renters’ Rights Act “has to go”.
Only Labour will guarantee the security, rights and protections the Act has given private renters.

Katie Lam has suggested she would scrap the Labour Government’s Renters’ Rights Act.
The shadow housing secretary told a fringe event at the Tory Party conference that the legislation “has to go”.
From PA, at 6:13pm:
A Conservative source said she had been speaking in the broader context of the restrictions and challenges faced by landlords, and this was not a policy announcement.

A new path for Britain can only be built on greater public control of the essentials.

Leaseholders across the country are being routinely gouged by freeholders and managing agents acting on their behalf.
This Labour government is taking on vested interests to protect leaseholders from exploitation.
Today, we’ve announced we will cap exorbitant administration and permission fees and legislate for the independent regulation of managing agents.

We can't carry on as we are.
Politics as usual has taken Britain backwards, and more of the same won't get us where we need to be.
Today, I'll set out a different path for our country.
That means having an honest conversation about the things we've ignored for too long, from fixing social care and tackling youth unemployment to giving people more control over energy, water and housing.
Hope comes from honesty.
It comes from saying the things politicians usually avoid, being straight about the challenges we face, and having the courage to fix them.
That's exactly what I will do.

I know today's incident near RAF Fairford will be deeply concerning for local residents and for many people following developments across the country.
My thanks go to Gloucestershire Police, Counter Terrorism Policing, our Armed Forces and all those working to keep the public safe.
I am especially grateful to those residents who have been asked to leave their homes while precautionary checks are carried out.
The safety and security of the public is our first priority, and I want people to know that we will always take every step necessary to protect our communities and keep our country safe.
The investigation remains ongoing, and I would urge people not to speculate while the authorities establish the full facts.
