Forget the Winter Fuel Allowance. How about a cigarette subsidy for pensioners? That's what the Attlee Labour government did. In 1947, the Labour Chancellor Hugh Dalton introduced a tobacco subsidy for pensioners. Dalton began his speech in the House of Commons on 9th July 1947, 'At last I am going to seek to make provision, with the consent of the House, for some old people to have a smoke.'

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Labour promised to invest in mental health support. We promised to deliver 8,500 additional mental health staff in the NHS. Labour has exceeded that target. Promise made. Promise delivered. Labour is working.

🌹Historically, changing leaders hasn’t = electoral success 💼Since 1945, 10 Prime Ministers have changed as a result of party leaders changing 🗳️Only 4: Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, John Major and Boris Johnson - went on to win majorities in the next election… 0 for Labour

My piece for @ObserverUK this week on all the fear and loathing being generated by the prospect of removing Keir Starmer from No10. observer.co.uk/news/politics…

Keir Starmer faces a cabinet betrayal and mounting calls to resign, but a seventh prime minister in 10 years may only deepen the national crisis

Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/202…
Greens suggest they will properly contest byelection, in blow to Burnham
