14 years of the @Conservatives has damaged the UK’s influence in a more divided and dangerous world. We need a new approach. @UKLabour ’s foreign policy will be underpinned by progressive realism. My interview with  @amanpour 👇🏿

Fantastic to return to my old primary school, Harris Primary Academy, today to launch my Tottenham campaign. Labour will recruit 6,500 new teachers in key subjects to set children up for life. #VoteLabour on 4th July.

Great to be in Abergavenny with @vaughangething and @Keir_Starmer to help launch @UKLabour 's six steps for Wales. These steps towards our missions show what a Labour government in Cardiff and a Labour government in Westminster could do together. It's time for change.

In 1945, a @UKLabour government created the NHS. In 2024, we'll get it back on its feet.

Our natural environment has been laid to waste under successive Conservative governments. The water quality in our rivers and seas ranks among the worst in Europe, with sewage dumping at an all time high. @UKLabour will not stand for it.

Horrified by the loss of life from this terrible disaster in Papua New Guinea. As Commonwealth partners we extend our full solidarity to survivors and mourn the victims of this tragedy in Kaokalam.

We condemn the appalling strikes on a supposed 'safe zone' in Rafah. @UKLabour have opposed an Israeli offensive in Rafah for months. Israel must now comply with the ICJ's orders. We need an immediate ceasefire to end this war, get all the hostages out and get aid into Gaza.

A windfall tax on the oil and gas companies. A National Wealth fund to drive growth. A New Deal for Working People and a planning system that gets Britain building again. @UKLabour has a plan for change and on Thursday 4 July you can vote for it.

Great to be in Newcastle-under-Lyme with @AJogee . Vote @UKLabour for economic stability, to cut NHS waiting times and to set up Great British Energy. It’s time for change.

The UK has been too dependent on global energy markets for far too long. We need investment in renewables, not new North Sea oil and gas licences. Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan will create 650,000 jobs and deliver real energy security. Great British Energy will lead the way👇🏿

Why does Labour want to set up Great British Energy, a new publicly owned clean power company? 👇

My two events yesterday showed @UKLabour as a team working together. First, with @RachelReevesMP on how we will deliver growth. Second, with @JohnHealey_MP on how we will keep Britain safe. Our foreign policy will reconnect Britain for our prosperity and security at home.

From Tottenham to Totnes, and right across Britain, working people are crying out for change. I’ve seen how @Keir_Starmer transformed the Labour Party. Now it’s time to give him the chance to deliver change for our country. Vote @UKLabour 🌹

Last week @JohnHealey_MP and I visited Kyiv with a simple message: There may be a change of government this year, but there will be no change in the UK's military, diplomatic, political or financial support to Ukraine. @UKLabour will stand with Ukraine until it wins.

. @Keir_Starmer and I were moved earlier to meet with family members of hostages still held by Hamas terrorists. The pain they are facing 227 days later is unimaginable. Hamas must release all the hostages now. We need an immediate ceasefire from all sides.

Once again the @Conservatives have backtracked on their commitment to the rule of law. @UKLabour supports the independence of international courts. The Prosecutor’s application for warrants, as well as the ICC’s jurisdiction, is a matter for the ICC. In Parliament yesterday👇🏿
