After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos.
We need a general election, now.

Rishi Sunak appointed a home secretary who's broken the ministerial code, lost control of a refugee centre, and put our national security at risk.
In Suella Braverman's own words, the Tories have 'broken' the asylum system.
It's time for a Labour government.

Caving in to criticism is not leadership.
Real leadership is seizing your seat at the table.
For UK jobs. For clean energy. For our environment.
Rishi Sunak acts in the name of political management.
Labour acts in the national interest.

Hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 28% in the last year, accounting for 42% of all religiously-motivated hate crimes.
This #IAM2022, Labour stands united against this pervasive hatred.

Great to be out on the doorstep in Hendon for our National Campaign Weekend.
Up and down the country people are fed up after 12 years of Tory failure.

The Tories crashed our economy & families in Thurrock feel it.
Soaring mortgages. Rising food prices. Parents cutting back.
Labour will deliver fully-funded breakfast clubs for every English primary school.
Easing pressure on households. Supporting parents in their work.

It was great to meet with this week.
We discussed how the UK can support global health development and use the net zero goal to invest in science and technology, creating new jobs.

My Labour government will show climate leadership.
Britain showing up to work with world leaders is an opportunity to grasp. Not an event to shun.
Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan will lower bills for good and make Britain a clean energy superpower.

A revolving circus of Tory prime ministers is not the answer to low growth.
My Labour government will equip Britain with the skills for the jobs of the future.
To give young people pride in their work, boost local economies and give businesses certainty.

Congratulations, Rishi Sunak, on becoming Prime Minister and making history as the first British Asian PM.
The Tories have crashed the economy, with low wages, high prices and a cost of living crisis.
The public needs a fresh start and a say on Britain’s future.

Great to be back on Call Keir on .
One caller, Fiona, asked me how Labour will deliver on the environment and lower energy bills.
We would quadruple offshore wind, triple solar, and double onshore wind by the end of the decade, and back nuclear, hydrogen, and tidal power.

Households struggling to pay their bills this winter is a direct result of Tory economic failure.
Labour is the only party offering stability with a fully-costed economic plan to help working people.

People across Britain are worried about rising bills and the Tories are too fixated on their own chaotic circus to provide stable leadership.
My focus is fixing the economy. We need a general election, for a fresh start.

Today we mark 56 years since one of the bleakest days in our history.
We will always remember those who lost their lives – most of them children.
The resilience and strength shown by the community who faced the unimaginable is a shining example to us all.

The damage to mortgages and bills has been done.
But yet another Tory prime minister will soon walk through their revolving door of chaos.

Leadership is about taking difficult decisions.
As a former Director of Public Prosecutions, I know what that’s like.
I will do that as Prime Minister.
People are paying the price for the chaos at the top of the Tory Party.
We need a general election now.

After 12 years of stagnation, excuses are all they have left.
