10 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“School support staff deserve better. That's why we're bringing back the School Support Staff Negotiating Body, to give them all a seat at the table. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...”↗
10 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Attendance improving, behaviour improving, exclusions decreasing, suspensions decreasing. 👏 The efforts of schools, parents and government are working - tackling the causes of misbehaviour and building a system where every child can achieve and thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
10 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“A new report has shone a light on poor outcomes for white working class children. I've been banging the drum on this and will keep doing so. It shows we need to go even further on driving up attendance, on expanding early years education and on tackling child poverty.”↗
9 Jul 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“The Equality Act is our quiet guardian. On the side of women, workers and those with disabilities when needed most. We will not let Reform UK turn back the clock on our rights.”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Childhood is changing, and so must education. Today I spoke about how in a world transformed, education is what will truly set us free. www.gov.uk/government/s...”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“50 years ago, Jim Callaghan delivered a speech at Ruskin on the future of education. Today, I'm doing the same. High-quality early years education is how we close the disadvantage gap. Expanding it to those who need is most is the future of education. www.nurseryworld.co.uk/content/news...”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“Here's what my speech today is about. Opening school-based nurseries and rolling out 30 hours of government-funded childcare has halved costs for parents. But we need to open up access, so that children who have the most to gain from high-quality early years education get it.”↗
8 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Evidence shows Sure Start improved educational and health outcomes for children. That's why we're bringing it back for the modern day, through Best Start in Life.”↗
6 Jul 2026Local Governmentangry“Joseph, a local NHS worker, asked why a Reform councillor in Sunderland wanted to melt him down to fill in potholes. The Reform council leader repeatedly failed to apologise to Joseph. Joseph deserves better. Sunderland deserves better. Councillor Gibbins is not fit to represent our city.”↗
6 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Over half of parents worry about school uniform costs. Some have gone without heating or eating to afford it. We've changed the law to cut costs. The Tories and Reform opposed it, calling it 'interference'. Labour will always interfere to back families. www.lbc.co.uk/article/wont...”↗
4 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratory“Over 6 million young people can now access mental health support through their school or college, with 800,000 more to come this year. We're supporting every child to achieve and thrive.”↗
3 Jul 2026Cost of Livingcelebratory“Labour is lifting the largest number of children out of poverty in a single Parliament ever. We know the decisions the Tories and Reform would make.”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“Support will go towards helping people access their adoption records, fund intermediary services, as well as research and testimonial projects to document the long-term impact on people’s lives.”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“Today, we're apologising to those affected by the injustice of forced adoption, as this government acknowledges the role of the state in the appalling practice. An apology cannot undo what happened, but it can be the start of real change.”↗
2 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Following our rises, teacher pay now averages over £50,000. We will double teachers’ maternity pay. We are working with leaders to improve wellbeing and workload. And, crucially, our approach is working. Teacher retention rates are amongst the strongest on record.”↗
1 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Teachers are getting a 6.5% pay rise over the next two years. That's a 17% rise secured in my time as Education Secretary, alongside action on wellbeing. Under Labour, we have more teachers staying in their jobs, more rejoining & more training to teach. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
30 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“We're making teaching a better place to be and our approach is working, with some of the best teacher retention rates on record.”↗
29 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Tackling poverty and inequality has been my focus since day 1 as Education Secretary. That's why I've rolled out funded childcare, free breakfast clubs, Best Start Family Hubs, expanded free school meals and scrapped the two child limit. 500,000 children out of poverty.”↗
29 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“Our country is one of the most unfair in the West. The class you’re born into too often dictates what you can go onto achieve. White working class children feel that. Labour is focused on improving their education, giving them better chances, better choices, and better lives.”↗
26 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Despite what you've heard this week, we're delivering on our manifesto with over 4,600 teachers recruited into where we need them most – secondaries, special schools and colleges. That's alongside more teachers in training, more rejoining and more staying in our schools.”↗
25 Jun 2026Cost of Livingdefensive“I stand by my record – including putting us on course for a record reduction in child poverty – and if the Tories think that makes me a 'spiteful class warrior', it tells you everything you need to know about them.”↗
25 Jun 2026Educationangry“The Tories left behind a mess that I've spent the last two years clearing up. In that time, they've come up with one policy: to cut state school budgets to reinstate private school tax breaks. Two years, one policy, no clue.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The constant chatter about private schools reminds me exactly why I do this job. We’re raising more money than expected, school offer days passed smoothly, and we’re injecting money into state schools. My focus remains on the schools attended by the majority of kids in this country.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“📈 3,008 more teachers in secondaries & special schools 📈1,646 more teachers in colleges 📈Trainee teachers up 13% 📈 Teacher pay up 9.5% 📈 Record investment in schools If standing up for state schools makes me a spiteful class warrior, I’ll wear it with pride. #PMQs”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationangry“Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.”↗
24 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Commentators, columnists and opposition politicians were apocalyptic with claims that ending private schools' tax breaks would overwhelm the state sector. The data shows those predictions were wrong. www.lbc.co.uk/article/priv...”↗
23 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“I'm delivering the most radical and consequential agenda for education in living memory. To see it becoming a reality, to know the difference it is making to the lives of children, is a special privilege.”↗
22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Keir Starmer has changed our party and our country for the better. He brought Labour back from electoral oblivion, has restored our reputation abroad, stabilised the economy and will lift half a million children out of poverty. We owe Keir a huge debt of gratitude.”↗
20 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Green shoots of progress: for the first time in five years, more children and teenagers are enjoying reading. Go all in with the National Year of Reading. 🌱📚”↗
