And when people say "There is no difference" we must challenge it, remind voters of what we achieved and ask, "What have the Tories done in 13 years to improve our country? Are we richer? Fairer? Services better? Infrastructure improved?" There's a difference alright #VoteLabour

Let no one say our last Labour Government didn’t make a difference. The Minimum Wage, Sure Start, halving child poverty, getting rid of Section 28 and introducing Civil Partnerships, new schools and hospitals, the lowest number of strike days, redistribution and so much more

We have just had a nurse, back from a long shift, turned away from the polling station because they wouldn't accept her NHS ID badge. She has no other form of ID in the household. You have got to wonder why the government doesn't want our nurses voting.

UK ministers under scrutiny for failure to publish Treasury spending details

Fleur Anderson MP

@PutneyFleur

May 3

The Guardian have reported on my letter to the Chief Secretary asking why the Treasury, of all departments, is so far behind the rest of Whitehall when it comes to publishing details of its expenditure. Read the story here and see the charts below

theguardian.com

Department is worst for publishing spending data, records show, with ministers apparently in breach of guidelines

But the Home Office said it wasn’t up to them to assess the presence of collapsing concrete in local police & fire stations, & the Ministry of Justice said it would cost too much to answer the question in respect of our prisons & courts! That is unacceptably complacent. (2/2)

After the discovery in hospitals and schools around the country of a type of concrete prone to sudden collapses, I asked several other departments whether similar material was present on their estate. The MOD said they were undertaking surveys…(1/2)

Military buildings ‘at risk of collapse’ due to cheap concrete

The Ministry of Defence is conducting urgent surveys of its estate amid concerns that the roofs of barracks and training facilities may be at risk of collapse.J

'Hugely alarming': 1,600 suspected rapists charged with non-rape crimes

Apr 27

There has been much justifiable anger in recent years about the collapse in charge rates for rape, but now there’s a new question: have hundreds of suspects been counted towards the rape charge figures even though they weren’t actually charged with rape?

nationalworld.com

There are fears the criminal justice system record on rape could be even worse than official figures suggest.

Labour will end the Tory sewage scandal.

Graphic with a picture of Rishi Sunak and the text: Do you think it's right to allow raw sewage to be dumped into our rivers and beaches 800 times a day? Rishi Sunak does. Under the Tories, raw sewage is being dumped 824 times a day into British waters. Labour will end the Tory sewage scandal by introducing automatic fines for sewage dumping, mandatory monitoring of all sewage outlets, and legally binding targets to clean up the water industry. Data from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Produced by the Labour Party.
