17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“So this day doesn’t come with warm words alone as it has in years past. It comes in a context of record investment in schools, near 10% pay rises, better maternity rights, more work underway on wellbeing. Lots done with your support. Lots more still to do – we will get it done.”↗
17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“The changes that we’ve driven – record attendance gains, improved behaviour, free breakfast clubs rolling out, more children enjoying and feeling they belong in school – they’re only possible when we come together. My department will always recognise that fact, and value you.”↗
17 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“I’m grateful for the work of our teachers every day, but special thanks today. As Education Secretary, I remain committed to listening to and working with teachers to give children growing up in our country the best start in life. #ThankATeacherDay”↗
16 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.”↗
16 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“This government turned the tide on school attendance, with 140,000 fewer children persistently absent. We're equipping schools with the tools they need to go further, spreading best practice and state of the art data so we can get children can achieve and thrive in school.”↗
16 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Hard work finding a spot on a busy campaign wall in Makerfield! Send Reform packing, back Labour and Andy on Thursday. 🌹”↗
15 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The Tories can dance to Reform's tune, Labour will stand against injustice and inequality – whether that's by driving up academic outcomes for white working class boys or making services accessible to disabled people.”↗
14 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentdefensive“The progress that we've made can't be taken for granted. So when right-wing politicians attack equality laws remember what they really are – maternity rights, disability rights, policies we've fought for to drive progress in our society and defend working people.”↗
13 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Really important piece from @itvnewspolitics.bsky.social on a topic that's been overlooked for too long: outcomes for white working class kids in places like where I grew up have - for too long - been dreadful. This Labour government is doing something about it. youtu.be/yFQ4JEBowzU?...”↗
11 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“The biggest difference we can make to children's life chances is in the early years. That's why we're building on the proud legacy of Sure Start through Best Start in Life – online, in our family hubs, in our school-based nurseries, in our free breakfast clubs and beyond.”↗
10 Jun 2026Othermeasured“Equality matters. Where things aren't fair, we should put them right. The Tories can turn a blind eye, Labour will take action.”↗
9 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“High quality early years education transforms children’s life chances. Labour has made childcare more accessible & affordable with 30 funded hours and school-based nurseries. Now, we're backing those doing vital work where it's needed most. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...”↗
9 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Working with schools and families, Labour has driven the biggest attendance gains in over a decade – 140,000 fewer children are persistently absent. Today's analysis shows we have further to go, and we're equipping schools with the tools they need. www.dailymail.com/news/article...”↗
8 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Thanks to the 93% Club for popping by the Department for Education last week. State school proud.”↗
6 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“10 million free breakfasts served is a massive achievement. It's not just about the breakfast, it's the club too. A softer start to the day that gets children ready to learn and helps parents juggle work and family life.”↗
5 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Nigel Farage's refusal to condemn the violence and thuggery we've seen in recent days is revealing. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Bonus good news: the future of teaching looks really promising. Today’s stats show one of the lowest rates of teachers leaving their jobs on record. There’s also been a 13% rise in people training to teach, smashing recruitment targets in subjects like maths and science.”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most. We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.”↗
3 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served. 10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on. 10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs and commutes. Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹”↗
26 May 2026Educationcelebratory“Alongside cracking down on hidden costs, we're bringing accessible, affordable childcare to your fingertips. Our handy new childcare tracker gives you personalised advice on what support you're entitled to and helps you compare providers in your area. 👇 childcare.beststartinlife.gov.uk”↗
26 May 2026Educationmeasured“Thanks to the efforts of this Labour government, families are saving an average of £8,000 on their childcare hours. But I know too many parents are still being stung by 'top up fees'. It's not acceptable. I've asked the CMA to step in. www.theguardian.com/education/20...”↗
22 May 2026Educationcelebratory“Labour is opening up access to subjects that have been the preserve of a privileged few for too long. We're investing in school sport and overhauling the system to end the postcode lottery. Levelling the playing field, so every child can achieve and thrive. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
21 May 2026Educationangry“Across the country, free breakfast clubs are saving parents £450 and boosting children’s life chances. Will Reform councils back Nigel Farage in his attempt to close these clubs, pinch money from parents and take food out of local children’s mouths?”↗
20 May 2026Educationcelebratory“This government is overhauling a broken SEND system that failed children. We want every child to have the right support in local schools, without having to fight for it. We'll learn from international best practice and chart a new path forward, together. metro.co.uk/2026/05/18/u...”↗
20 May 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Another landmark moment in the UK-Ukraine 100-Year Partnership: meeting Minister Yehven Kudriavets to discuss strengthening our countries' ties through education — in a celebration of our lasting commitment to support Ukraine & build opportunities for future generations.”↗
19 May 2026Educationcelebratory“So pleased to welcome new Secretary of State for Health &Social Care, @jamesmurrayldn.bsky.social to the DfE where we met with parents & campaigners today. Building a system to better support children with SEND will need us to work really closely together. James is gripping this right from the off.”↗
19 May 2026Educationangry“With Reform UK, it's always about 'looking after our own' until it comes to feeding children. Labour is providing over 6,400 children across Kent County Council with free breakfast clubs. Reform UK literally want to take the food from their mouths. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...”↗
18 May 2026Educationcelebratory“🔗 Source: www.gov.uk/government/s....”↗
18 May 2026Educationcelebratory“New stats show we now have over 1,600 more teachers in our colleges and sixth forms. With the 2,300 more we have in our secondaries and special schools, Labour is on our way to recruiting 6,500 more expert teachers. We're turning the Tory tide on teacher recruitment and retention. 📈”↗
18 May 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“This is a reminder of what politics is really about. A Labour government delivering for working people and making sure all of our children get the best start in life.”↗
