Affordability and security go hand in hand. We cannot have one without the other. Only then do we unite this nation to meet this moment.
Here’s why life feels unaffordable. And how we’re fixing it.
Devolution means prosperity in every part of the country. But most importantly in Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages. Me on Sky News.
Good growth in every postcode, including LE11 and LE12, means moving power out from London and across the country.
A moral ideal. Policy Principles of good jobs, common ownership and devolution. And a political vision unites us. That’s what Andy represents. Me on Sky News this morning.
This is a really difficult time for our country: an affordability crisis, a planet that's burning and war in Europe. We're backing Andy to help us meet this moment.
The World Cup is so important, even beyond football. It bring us together as one nation, one community. I hope everyone enjoys the game tonight (it's coming home...) ⚽
Burnhamism means every person in every place being able to live a good life.
I have a confession to make: I'm a fiscal credibility hawk. We only change this country when the numbers make sense. I learnt that in Somaliland, where the choice was pay the soldiers or feed the kids. Substack link: jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/confession...
Good growth means we all share in it. Me on Abundance Pod.
Kemi disagrees with the child poverty measure as it “changes if more billionaires come here.” She doesn’t understand the maths. Relative poverty measures incomes compared to the *median* not the *mean*.
It’s hot, right?🌡️ Climate change is already here. The good news: clean, homegrown energy cuts your bills and protects the planet for the next generation.
What a win last night. It didn't matter who you were or what you looked like, everyone was in it together. That's worth celebrating as much as the result itself. Roll on Saturday … ⚽️
I'm backing Andy because he knows we are stronger when we stand together. Not when we stand apart.
I’ve worked in finance ministries across the world. That’s why I’m a fiscal credibility hawk.
Young people face three big challenges: not enough good, non-graduate jobs, a housing crisis, and a punitive tax system. They've been locked out, and we’re letting them back in again.
Britain is one of the most geographically unequal nations. Here's how we fix it.
I'm a fiscal credibility hawk. But there is more we can and will do to change our country - within the fiscal rules.
Andy's vision is this. Building a country where every single one of us does well.
"It's the wonk-friendly version of the speech" Winning at life.
We're the most regionally unequal country in the developed world because we're the most centralised. Power's in London, so is the money. London gets 3x the transport spending per head of the East Midlands. I'll leave that there.
On energy. We are dependent on natural gas for our energy. And fossil fuels shot up in price after Putin invaded Ukraine. Prices are shooting up *again( now post-Iran Get off fossil fuels, and we make life more affordable for all
Our affordability crisis was decades in the making, and has exploded in recent years. We were hit the worst by the post-Ukraine inflation. But why? Well it has a lot to do with energy and spending ...
Young people deserve what previous generations had: the chance to get on in life. That's this Labour government's mission.
I’m a doctor… …of economics. Here's how we make our economy healthier.
📲 Banning social media for under-16s Earlier this year, I asked constituents for their views on banning social media for under-16s. Here’s what they had to say.
Keir Starmer resigned today with dignity and grace. It is for us to build on his successes. Making life affordable, defending our nation, and uniting this country with a vision of strength. Together we will meet this moment, divided we won't.
