These government-backed jobs schemes will get young people the work experience they need to successfully apply for jobs in the future.
An interesting initiative. Test will be how many remain in employment.
When I visited Boots, which is also offering placements, one young man said he had routine for the first time in his life and a sense of purpose.
Thank you to @UKHofficial for announcing 100,000 new jobs for young people not in education, employment or training over the next few years.
This comes on top of a similar agreement reached last month with UK retail.

ALT Artist's impression of the proposed Trafford Wharfside development. A colourful arial view of the sit, with buildings arranged near the water, and the football stadium visible. It's presented in rudimentary 3D with each building a block of solid colour.
A beautiful article about an Urmston legend. Thanks for sharing this Oliver.

Heartbroken for Andy and his family at the loss of his dad.
Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease that slowly robs people of themselves, while taking a heavy toll on the families who love them.
Sending Andy and the whole Burnham family my deepest sympathies and all my love at such a difficult time.

This is absolutely stunning news, well done Carl! Big @UKLabour hold on Gorton and Denton constituency after a heavy loss in the ward in May’s local elections.

My commitment & resignation letter.
As Everton manager, I promise to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Liverpool over 50’s memorial shield.
This isn’t an aspiration. Nor is it an aim. It’s an (empty) promise.
Yours sincerely
Paul Nowak, aged 54 and a half.

Sagal is a British citizen who has dedicated her life to public service. She is the elected leader of Camden council, a community where she grew up and has lived for 35 years.
I am proud to have worked with Sagal, she embodies the best of our values. She is a volunteer, school governor, serves her community with dedication and is an outstanding example of British success.
This kind of social media post is dangerous and insulting. It ignores Sagal’s hard work and talents and the achievements of many people like her. Proud British citizens with roots abroad teach in our schools, care for the elderly, work in our NHS, start businesses and contribute so much to their communities and the country they love.

No child should be raised in a hostel room. And no family should wait ten years for a front door of their own.
Today we’re announcing funding for the biggest council housebuilding comeback in decades.
Nearly £10 billion will go to councils and housing associations to build genuinely affordable homes, most of them for social rent.
This funding will directly help families trapped in temporary accommodation or stuck on housing waiting lists into safe, secure homes.

Today marked one month since I became Prime Minister.
Cutting tax on electricity bills. Capping bus fares at £2 in England. Making subscriptions easier to cancel. Cracking down on fake discounts. Giving 14-year-olds early access to technical education. Opening 159 new mental health centres. Investing to get all rough sleepers off the street this winter. Supporting farmers affected by the drought. Cutting business rates for pubs, clubs, and music venues. Shutting down 13 more asylum hotels. Giving mayors a share of income tax. Extending the 16-17 Saver Railcard. Bringing buses in the West Midlands under public control. Fast-tracking new homes near train stations. Cleaning up illegal waste dumps. Giving communities and councils more power over what opens on their high street. Opening No10 North. Giving disabled people 24/7 free bus travel. Delivering the biggest transfer of power, funding and responsibility from Westminster in a generation.
It's a start, but I’m not complacent. I know that people need more and I promise that I will do everything I can to make yours and your family’s lives better. We're doing things differently to give people more breathing space and bring back hope.
Here’s to the next month.

This was a big win for Labour, bigger than the polls suggested - polling had them from 38-41%, they got 47% and nearly won without a run-off. Impressive given their drubbing in local elections in May, when they dropped below 30% and fell behind Reform, but...
Turning in after 14 hours at the Mayoral Count today!
Congratulations to my friend @bevcraig who will be a phenomenal Mayor.
And thanks to all of the amazing volunteers and party staff who did so much to do deliver this brilliant result, especially the North West Regional Team who have had *quite* the year after three by elections and the May elections in six months 🙏 🙏 🙏
