  59. DO YOU RENT YOUR HOME: Mr Starmer was busy repairing the housing system that the Tories DESTROYED: RENTERS RIGHTS BILL: Overview of bill measures The Renters’ Rights Bill will: • Abolish section 21 evictions and move to a simpler tenancy structure where all assured tenancies are periodic – providing more security for tenants and empowering them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction. We will implement this new system in one stage, giving all tenants security immediately. • Ensure possession grounds are fair to both parties, giving tenants more security, while ensuring landlords can recover their property when reasonable. The bill introduces new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell, and ensuring unscrupulous landlords cannot misuse grounds. • Provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by ensuring tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents which are purely designed to force them out. As now, landlords will still be able to increase rents to market price for their properties and an independent tribunal will make a judgement on this, if needed. • Introduce a new Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman that will provide quick, fair, impartial and binding resolution for tenants’ complaints about their landlord. This will bring tenant-landlord complaint resolution on par with established redress practices for tenants in social housing and consumers of property agent services • Create a Private Rented Sector Database to help landlords understand their legal obligations and demonstrate compliance (giving good landlords confidence in their position), alongside providing better information to tenants to make informed decisions when entering into a tenancy agreement. It will also support local councils – helping them target enforcement activity where it is needed most. Landlords will need to be registered on the database in order to use certain possession grounds. • Give tenants strengthened rights to request a pet in the property, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. To support this, landlords will be able to require pet insurance to cover any damage to their property • Apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poor-quality homes in local communities. • Apply ‘Awaab’s Law’ to the sector, setting clear legal expectations about the timeframes within which landlords in the private rented sector must take action to make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against prospective tenants in receipt of benefits or with children – helping to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live. • End the practice of rental bidding by prohibiting landlords and agents from asking for or accepting offers above the advertised rent. Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. • Strengthen local authority enforcement by expanding civil penalties, introducing a package of investigatory powers and bringing in a new requirement for local authorities to report on enforcement activity. • Strengthen rent repayment orders by extending them to superior landlords, doubling the maximum penalty and ensuring repeat offenders have to repay the maximum amount.

  63. RE-FORM, (YES THEY WILL - AS CONservatives),  BACKING LEE ANDERSON SAYS IT ALL - RIGHT WING BULLINGTON CLUB BULLY THAT WOULD NEVER GET IN THE CLUB. Tory peer Baroness Warsi accuses CONSERVATIVE party of allowing ‘anti Muslim racism’ Senior Conservatives have been drawn into a row over Islamophobia in their party after MP Lee Anderson was suspended for comments made about London Mayor Sadiq Khan Braverman’s ‘Islamist mob’ comments defended by deputy PM Dowden Ex-party chair Lee Anderson has been suspended as a Tory MP for similar comments attacking Mayor Sadiq Khan Tories suspend Lee Anderson's wife as picture appears to show her campaigning for Reform UK A photo posted by Lee Anderson on Twitter appears to show Sinead Anderson - a senior Tory councillor - campaigning for the rival party...... Extra cash for racist!....The Tory party chair, Richard Holden, actioned a £10,000 salary top-up for Lee Anderson last autumn, in a sign of how much he was valued as deputy chair. Mr Anderson’s remarks have reignited an Islamophobia row within the party. Business minister Nus Ghani and senior Tory backbencher Sir Sajid Javid are among those calling out the remarks, while Sir Robert Buckland denounced them as “repugnant” and “racist” on Sunday. EIGHT CONservative MP's have lost their seats due to disgraceful incidents like sexual offences or fraud. Including Boris Johnson for telling lies to Parliament!

  83. Under the Conservatives: 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. Keir Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions: Keir Starmer was appointed Chief Prosecutor and head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008. He held the post for five years, before becoming leader of the Labour Party in 2020. The role was a recognition of his work as a lawyer, which included helping to take Vladimir Putin to court for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and five years as legal advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, helping to bring communities together following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2014, Keir Starmer received a knighthood for his services to criminal justice. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. How Keir Starmer has stood up for victims of crime Keir Starmer reformed the Crown Prosecution Service so that victims were listened to – as a result, conviction rates of sexual offences rose and victims were better supported. Conservative MPs in the Tory government at the time praised Keir for his work. The then Tory Attorney General, Dominic Greaves, described Keir Starmer as “one of the most successful directors of recent years” and “highly effective and someone who always behaved with great integrity”. What Labour will do to tackle crime: Under the Conservatives, 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down.

  102. MR STARMERS LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN BUSY REPAIRING THE TORIES BROKEN BRITAIN  & PROTECTECTING GB FROM REFORM LIES: The headlines are: • Record funding for the NHS! • Above inflation pay rises and improved rights for millions of workers. • Big reforms to improve the education, transport, energy, water quality and justice systems   Our Achievements  Health • We all know how important primary care is for our wellbeing as well as reducing the non-urgent use of A&E. We’re therefore giving an extra £889m for GPs on top of existing cash and tailoring incentives so you can see the same doctor! • An extra £25.7bn a year for the NHS- the biggest increase since 2010. The Tories would have continued their slow neglect of our NHS- so this is a huge turning point. • We are very lucky to have the wonderful Rotherham Hospice in our constituency, so I am delighted that we are investing £100 million into hospices across the UK to improve vital palliative care. • Work is well under way to introduce vital reforms in the NHS as well - it’s not just about throwing money at the problem. Housing • Voting for the Renters Right Bill – banning no fault evictions and making sure landlords are keeping homes safe and do not unfairly ban pets. This is huge in terms of enabling people to settle down and feel secure. • A new National Planning Policy Framework to make it easier to use low quality sites to build on so we can build the homes we desperately need. There are no easy answers to our housing crisis, but we know we need more affordable homes and infrastructure. Education • An extra £2.3bn for schools including an extra billion for SEND (special educational needs and disability) provision. Whilst I’m proud that through extensive campaigning the SEND is Rotherham has improved, access to SEND provision is one of the biggest issues in my inbox so this cash injection is very welcome. • Scrapped one word Ofsted reviews, rolling out breakfast clubs, expanding school-based nurseries, launching a curriculum review, bringing forward a Children’s bill.  Transport • The Rail Franchising Bill which will begin to bring our rail network back into public ownership.  • The Bus Service Bill which will enable local authorities to run their own buses. This will make it easier to get the routes we need. • I continue to push for more buses and more bus routes. This issue has a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the local economy and is not something I am backing away from. Living Standards • A huge 6.7% rise to the National Living Wage- a pay rise to 3.5 million of our lowest paid workers. That’s 3.5 million workers with extra cash to spend in their local economy. There’s also a record rise for under 21s as we move to end the age disparity as well as a rise for apprentices. This is a hugely significant move to reduce poverty. • Pay-rises of between 5% and 6% for our nurses, soldiers, teachers and public sector workers after years of below inflation rises leaving them significantly underpaid compared with 2010. • Established the Child Poverty Task Force which will tackle social injustice and is a huge step forward to ending child poverty for good. • The Employment Rights Bill which will bring the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights since the minimum wage was established in the late 90’s. This is a huge victory and thank you to our Trade Union colleagues for all their hard work. • And some very important news- latest data shows wages have risen by 5.2%, faster than the cost of living, meaning that after a decade of real wage stagnation, we may be finally starting to see real pay rises and people better off. • A personal favourite of mine: giving the surplus in the Mineworkers Pension Fund back to mineworkers. On average that’s £29 extra a week for a retiree and I’m hugely proud we have made it happen so quickly. Illegal Immigration • As we know, the huge rise in illegal immigration has fuelled distrust of our governments. Showing we can police our borders is vital so we have recruited a Border Security Commander responsible for smashing the gangs and bringing down the numbers of illegal migration.  • We have also deported over 2,590 people with no legal right to remain in the UK. This compares with just 2,170 enforced returns over the same period in 2023, a huge increase of 19% from under the last government. • We have upped the number of asylum cases being processed from just a few hundred under the Tories to thousands a month. That means those who have a right to be here can get their status confirmed and get on with their lives instead of being stuck in limbo. • Reversing MOD failures that saw brave Afghans who worked with our troops in Afghanistan unfairly denied asylum.  Justice • The Infected Blood Scandal is a horrible injustice and should never have happened. The previous government hadn’t set aside a penny in compensation, but we have committed to these families and allotted over £11bn. • Justice delayed is justice denied so I am glad we have opened up an extra 2000 Crown Court Sitting Days to hear cases and tackle the backlog. • Work is well under way on police funding so we can get those extra police officers recruited in South Yorkshire as soon as possible. Environment • Introduced Great British Energy Bill which will deliver more clean and secure energy and prevent our reliance on overseas sources.  • The legal preparation to permanently ban all types fracking is well under way. Whilst complex, I hope we will see legislation very soon. • Introduced the Water Measures Bill which penalises water bosses who pollute our water.  I could go on and detail the extra money for local authorities, the rise in legal aid, compensation for LGBT veterans unfairly dismissed, the establishment of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body and a new pilot scheme to give music lessons to disadvantaged children but perhaps that is another email! However, I think we can all agree that there is plenty there to be very proud of. Of course, the dire financial inheritance has meant we have had to make some tough decisions as well; decisions we would never have made had we entered government in economic circumstances like 1997. As you all know, we decided to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, restricting it to those eligible for Pension Credit.

  192. @robertcook117  My understanding of these irrational statements is the single minded - perfect game plan Mr Starmer had throughout the campaign. You know as well as I do that labour were fighting every media outlet and so.e clever people were looking for thinks in the armour. Mr Starmer saw the disgraceful lies about JC's character assassination in the last election. Lie after lie about labour and it's leader took a tole on the man and the party. Well Mr Starmer is a man of the law, a man of detail, a man of inspirational foresight and he steered through the right wing media mine fields and won a tremendous victory. That caused the right wing press, political classes and the likes of reform to wobble their psychopathic heads in a frenzy. It's happening now and will continue - they will throw rocks to muddy the pool of Labours success but they will all fail because Mr Starmer is a special man with a vision for the UK PEOPLE. The Tories ruled for the top 4% and cared not for the rest of us. All those good working class folk duped and patronised by Farage's Reform UK Limited are fighting for the 4% and they're flying the flag but are totally blind to the fact that their leaders (directors of a company) are fighting to get the most democratic political party ever to exist in the UK. Labour's manifesto reads like everyone's wish list whereas Farage will / has promised the earth with zero practical way of achieving anything at all! He can say anything like a tap roo. Know it all....but with far right motivations 180 degrees opposed to what the reform followers actually want. So the Stalin rhetoric is purely another back handed compliment (in a way) of Mr Starmers will to win and his beating of the whole UK right wing media. He's strong and I wish him well!

The bill introduces new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell, and ensuring unscrupulous landlords cannot misuse grounds. • Provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by ensuring tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents which are purely designed to force them out. As now, landlords will still be able to increase rents to market price for their properties and an independent tribunal will make a judgement on this, if needed. • Introduce a new Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman that will provide quick, fair, impartial and binding resolution for tenants’ complaints about their landlord. This will bring tenant-landlord complaint resolution on par with established redress practices for tenants in social housing and consumers of property agent services • Create a Private Rented Sector Database to help landlords understand their legal obligations and demonstrate compliance (giving good landlords confidence in their position), alongside providing better information to tenants to make informed decisions when entering into a tenancy agreement. It will also support local councils – helping them target enforcement activity where it is needed most. Landlords will need to be registered on the database in order to use certain possession grounds. • Give tenants strengthened rights to request a pet in the property, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. To support this, landlords will be able to require pet insurance to cover any damage to their property • Apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poor-quality homes in local communities. • Apply ‘Awaab’s Law’ to the sector, setting clear legal expectations about the timeframes within which landlords in the private rented sector must take action to make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against prospective tenants in receipt of benefits or with children – helping to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live. • End the practice of rental bidding by prohibiting landlords and agents from asking for or accepting offers above the advertised rent. Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. • Strengthen local authority enforcement by expanding civil penalties, introducing a package of investigatory powers and bringing in a new requirement for local authorities to report on enforcement activity. • Strengthen rent repayment orders by extending them to superior landlords, doubling the maximum penalty and ensuring repeat offenders have to repay the maximum amount.

  211. The aristocracy (for want of a better word) in the UK LOST WW2. pictures showing the Queen Mother showing her two daughters the Nazi salute was indicative of the rich and famous within the UK. The allies winning caused a problem of the far rights control of the UK and the army returning home demanded a social contract that caused the creation of the NHS etc. The EU, in my opinion was Germany's third attempt at European domination and the current infighting within the EU shows how dominant the once EU "MARKET" has turned into the EU superstate. Again the UK public. Joe Bloggs, destroyed the rate of the EU fascist virus infecting the UK which was a shock and the establishment (TORY PARTY) worked hard to undermine the benefits of BREXIT so the UK economy was weakened. The Tories also allowed immigration to run wild as a policy that also created internal friction. The Labour victory also upset this plan to run down the country. This podcast is another example of the propaganda aimed at blaming Labour FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS THE TORIES CAUSED. The Tories were so bad the country chose Labour like those soldiers returning from war for LABOURS NATURAL SOCIAL FAIRNES that Tories just don't do. Farage is obviously related to European Fascism and the tory money and support is basing their hope on reform to finish the job that was halted by BREXIT. BREXIT HAS PROVED TO BE UK's POLITICAL DUNKIRK! THIS PODCAST IS SIMPLY ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPAGANDA IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. MR STARMER IS BEING ATTACKED BY AN ONSLAUGHT OF OFFSHORE FUNDED YOU TUBE VIDEO which means the modern day 'BATTLE OF BRITAIN" is not a battle of our air space BUT A BATTLE OF THE AIRWAVES. £BILLIONS (DEFRAUDED BY THE TORIES) IS BEING SPENT TO UNDERMINE MR STARMER.! WHY ......BECAUSE HE IS A STRONG CHARACTER THAT HAS BEATEN THE FAR RIGHT OUT OF POWER ALREADY. THIS PODCAST TURNS INTO A TACTICAL SUGGESTIONS DISCOURSE TO ATTACK GASLINES AND ELECTRICAL POWER LINES. SHOULD THESE THINGS HAPPEN THEN THIS PODCAST SPEAKERS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. Farage / Tice / reform / tory / right wing are exponents of the BIG LIE they are heavily related to European fascists as Farage was thrown out of Brussels by the ANTI FASCIST LEAGUE OF EUROPE  -  They said : "FASCISTS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE" - BUT THIS FARAGE - FASCIST RELATIONSHIP IS BEST SHOWN IN THE TACTICS FARAGE / REFORM USES...."THEY CONTINUALLY USE LIES AND "THE BIG LIE" IS FARAGES MAIN WEAPON AND THIS ORIGINATES FROM HIS HERO WHO EXPLAINS THE CONCEPT BEST: Joseph Goebbels on the big lie: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. This is why every Fascist regime use propaganda to reduce the "HUMAN DIGNITY" of their VICTIMS! It's part of the so called "BIG LIE"!

  245. Under the Conservatives: 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. Keir Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions: Keir Starmer was appointed Chief Prosecutor and head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008. He held the post for five years, before becoming leader of the Labour Party in 2020. The role was a recognition of his work as a lawyer, which included helping to take Vladimir Putin to court for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and five years as legal advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, helping to bring communities together following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2014, Keir Starmer received a knighthood for his services to criminal justice. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions?

How Keir Starmer has stood up for victims of crime Keir Starmer reformed the Crown Prosecution Service so that victims were listened to – as a result, conviction rates of sexual offences rose and victims were better supported. Conservative MPs in the Tory government at the time praised Keir for his work. The then Tory Attorney General, Dominic Greaves, described Keir Starmer as “one of the most successful directors of recent years” and “highly effective and someone who always behaved with great integrity”. What Labour will do to tackle crime: Under the Conservatives, 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down.

  297. Oh Mr Tice and Mr Farage. What a pair: The only political "interference was by reform leadership. TALK TV statements like: WE'RE EXPECTING RIOTS! IS A DANGEROUS INFLAMATORY STATEMENT AND SHOULD BE CENSURED. THESE GUYS ARE THE REASON OUR WW2 HEROES FOUGHT SO HARD TO BEAT THEM - FASCISTS TO A MAN! Farage attended a FAR FAR RIGHT political meeting and the Mayor of Brussels closed the meeting down because Fascist are not welcome here! It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the "Antifascist coordination of Belgium". Suella Braverman, a sitting Conservative MP, was at the event  Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right," Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference In a message to organisers, Mr Kir said some of the attendees of Tuesday's conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. "Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right," his statement said. "The far right is not welcome," he added on X. SADLY - GOOD PEOPLE BELIEVE THE FANTASY - UNDELIVERABLE PROMISES THESE LEADERS MAKE BUT THE LEADERS ARE LEADING THE COMMON PEOPLE ON AND THEIR OFFSHORE UBER RIGHT WING BACKERS ARE STEERING AND ANTI BRITISH AGENDA - WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BULL!

  330. After 14 years of Tory failure, record numbers of people are out of work for health reasons and one in eight young people is not in work, education, or training. Left as it is, a generation of young people risk being written off and millions of people who want to work won’t get the support they need. That’s why I have today set out Labour’s plans to fix the broken social security system, protect those that need it, and support more people into work, to unlock growth as part of our Plan for Change. With this Government, the social security system will always be there for people in need. That is a principle we will never compromise on. But disabled people and people with health conditions who can work should have the same rights, choices and chances to work as everybody else. That principle of equality is vital too. Together, we are creating a more pro-active, pro-work system for those who can work. And protecting those who cannot work, ensuring they are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, now and into the future. Since we were elected we’ve made huge progress to get more people into good work through our Plan for Change: • We’re investing nearly an extra £26 billion into the NHS to drive down waiting lists and help get people back to health and back to work. • We’re improving the quality of work and making work pay with our landmark Employment Rights Bill and increases in the national living wage. • We’re creating more good jobs in every part of the country in clean energy and through our modern industrial strategy. • And we’re introducing the biggest reforms to employment support in a generation, with our £240 million Get Britain Working plan. Alongside these measures, Labour will fix the broken social security system that we inherited from 14 years of Tory failure – so that it is geared towards work: • We will reform employment support with £1 billion of investment, so that those who can work are supported to do so. • We will scrap the hated Work Capability Assessment that many find complex and stressful. In future, extra money will be based on the impact of someone’s health condition or disability, not on their capacity to work. • And we will bring in a permanent, above-inflation rise to the standard allowance in Universal Credit – for the first time ever – a decisive step to tackle perverse incentives in the system. Through these reforms, Labour will deliver a social security system that is fit for the future. One that is fairer and that provides vital support to those who need it most.

Mr Starmer was busy repairing the housing system that the Tories DESTROYED: RENTERS RIGHTS BILL: Overview of bill measures The Renters’ Rights Bill will: • Abolish section 21 evictions and move to a simpler tenancy structure where all assured tenancies are periodic – providing more security for tenants and empowering them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction. We will implement this new system in one stage, giving all tenants security immediately. • Ensure possession grounds are fair to both parties, giving tenants more security, while ensuring landlords can recover their property when reasonable. The bill introduces new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell, and ensuring unscrupulous landlords cannot misuse grounds. • Provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by ensuring tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents which are purely designed to force them out. As now, landlords will still be able to increase rents to market price for their properties and an independent tribunal will make a judgement on this, if needed. • Introduce a new Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman that will provide quick, fair, impartial and binding resolution for tenants’ complaints about their landlord. This will bring tenant-landlord complaint resolution on par with established redress practices for tenants in social housing and consumers of property agent services • Create a Private Rented Sector Database to help landlords understand their legal obligations and demonstrate compliance (giving good landlords confidence in their position), alongside providing better information to tenants to make informed decisions when entering into a tenancy agreement. It will also support local councils – helping them target enforcement activity where it is needed most. Landlords will need to be registered on the database in order to use certain possession grounds. • Give tenants strengthened rights to request a pet in the property, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. To support this, landlords will be able to require pet insurance to cover any damage to their property • Apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poor-quality homes in local communities. • Apply ‘Awaab’s Law’ to the sector, setting clear legal expectations about the timeframes within which landlords in the private rented sector must take action to make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against prospective tenants in receipt of benefits or with children – helping to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live. • End the practice of rental bidding by prohibiting landlords and agents from asking for or accepting offers above the advertised rent.

  442. MR STARMERS LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN BUSY REPAIRING THE TORIES BROKEN BRITAIN  & PROTECTECTING GB FROM REFORM LIES: The headlines are: • Record funding for the NHS! • Above inflation pay rises and improved rights for millions of workers. • Big reforms to improve the education, transport, energy, water quality and justice systems   Our Achievements  Health • We all know how important primary care is for our wellbeing as well as reducing the non-urgent use of A&E. We’re therefore giving an extra £889m for GPs on top of existing cash and tailoring incentives so you can see the same doctor! • An extra £25.7bn a year for the NHS- the biggest increase since 2010. The Tories would have continued their slow neglect of our NHS- so this is a huge turning point. • We are very lucky to have the wonderful Rotherham Hospice in our constituency, so I am delighted that we are investing £100 million into hospices across the UK to improve vital palliative care. • Work is well under way to introduce vital reforms in the NHS as well - it’s not just about throwing money at the problem. Housing • Voting for the Renters Right Bill – banning no fault evictions and making sure landlords are keeping homes safe and do not unfairly ban pets. This is huge in terms of enabling people to settle down and feel secure. • A new National Planning Policy Framework to make it easier to use low quality sites to build on so we can build the homes we desperately need. There are no easy answers to our housing crisis, but we know we need more affordable homes and infrastructure. Education • An extra £2.3bn for schools including an extra billion for SEND (special educational needs and disability) provision. Whilst I’m proud that through extensive campaigning the SEND is Rotherham has improved, access to SEND provision is one of the biggest issues in my inbox so this cash injection is very welcome. • Scrapped one word Ofsted reviews, rolling out breakfast clubs, expanding school-based nurseries, launching a curriculum review, bringing forward a Children’s bill.  Transport • The Rail Franchising Bill which will begin to bring our rail network back into public ownership.  • The Bus Service Bill which will enable local authorities to run their own buses. This will make it easier to get the routes we need. • I continue to push for more buses and more bus routes. This issue has a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the local economy and is not something I am backing away from. Living Standards • A huge 6.7% rise to the National Living Wage- a pay rise to 3.5 million of our lowest paid workers. That’s 3.5 million workers with extra cash to spend in their local economy. There’s also a record rise for under 21s as we move to end the age disparity as well as a rise for apprentices. This is a hugely significant move to reduce poverty. • Pay-rises of between 5% and 6% for our nurses, soldiers, teachers and public sector workers after years of below inflation rises leaving them significantly underpaid compared with 2010. • Established the Child Poverty Task Force which will tackle social injustice and is a huge step forward to ending child poverty for good. • The Employment Rights Bill which will bring the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights since the minimum wage was established in the late 90’s. This is a huge victory and thank you to our Trade Union colleagues for all their hard work. • And some very important news- latest data shows wages have risen by 5.2%, faster than the cost of living, meaning that after a decade of real wage stagnation, we may be finally starting to see real pay rises and people better off. • A personal favourite of mine: giving the surplus in the Mineworkers Pension Fund back to mineworkers. On average that’s £29 extra a week for a retiree and I’m hugely proud we have made it happen so quickly. Illegal Immigration • As we know, the huge rise in illegal immigration has fuelled distrust of our governments. Showing we can police our borders is vital so we have recruited a Border Security Commander responsible for smashing the gangs and bringing down the numbers of illegal migration.  • We have also deported over 2,590 people with no legal right to remain in the UK. This compares with just 2,170 enforced returns over the same period in 2023, a huge increase of 19% from under the last government. • We have upped the number of asylum cases being processed from just a few hundred under the Tories to thousands a month. That means those who have a right to be here can get their status confirmed and get on with their lives instead of being stuck in limbo. • Reversing MOD failures that saw brave Afghans who worked with our troops in Afghanistan unfairly denied asylum.  Justice • The Infected Blood Scandal is a horrible injustice and should never have happened. The previous government hadn’t set aside a penny in compensation, but we have committed to these families and allotted over £11bn. • Justice delayed is justice denied so I am glad we have opened up an extra 2000 Crown Court Sitting Days to hear cases and tackle the backlog. • Work is well under way on police funding so we can get those extra police officers recruited in South Yorkshire as soon as possible. Environment • Introduced Great British Energy Bill which will deliver more clean and secure energy and prevent our reliance on overseas sources.  • The legal preparation to permanently ban all types fracking is well under way. Whilst complex, I hope we will see legislation very soon. • Introduced the Water Measures Bill which penalises water bosses who pollute our water.  I could go on and detail the extra money for local authorities, the rise in legal aid, compensation for LGBT veterans unfairly dismissed, the establishment of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body and a new pilot scheme to give music lessons to disadvantaged children but perhaps that is another email! However, I think we can all agree that there is plenty there to be very proud of. Of course, the dire financial inheritance has meant we have had to make some tough decisions as well; decisions we would never have made had we entered government in economic circumstances like 1997. As you all know, we decided to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, restricting it to those eligible for Pension Credit.

  550. Today, I set out my Labour Government’s Plan for Change. It’s the next phase of how this mission-driven government will turn the page on 14 years of broken promises and Tory chaos. The plan sets clear and measurable milestones to: • Raise living standards, so you have more money in your pocket • Build 1.5 million homes, so there are decent, affordable homes in your area • End hospital backlogs to meet the NHS standard of 92% of elective treatments within 18 weeks • Put more police on the beat, so you feel safer in your community • Give children the best start in life, so that every child has the opportunity to succeed • Secure home-grown energy, so billpayers are protected Here is the progress we’ve made so far: • Economy - we’ve taken the tough decisions in the Budget to stabilise the economy, protected working people’s payslips, raised the minimum wage for millions of low-paid working people and frozen winter fuel duty. • NHS - we’ve agreed the largest funding settlement for the NHS outside of Covid to deliver an extra 40,000 appointments per week. • Safer streets - we’ve cracked down on anti-social behaviour with new Respect Orders and kickstarted the recruitment of an additional 13,000 officers, PCSOs and constables in neighbourhood roles. • Energy - the launch of Great British Energy will provide clean, secure and homegrown power. • Opportunity - we’ve launched our drive to recruit 6,500 teachers, and have already set out funding for up to 300 new or expanded nurseries in state primary schools. This progress means we can now set our course for the years ahead and deliver the long-lasting change the British people voted for.

  568. For those who rent your homes just THANK MR STARMER'S LABOUR PARTY FOR MAKING YOUR LIFE SAFER / BETTER: Mr Starmer was busy repairing the housing system that the Tories DESTROYED: RENTERS RIGHTS BILL: Overview of bill measures The Renters’ Rights Bill will: • Abolish section 21 evictions and move to a simpler tenancy structure where all assured tenancies are periodic – providing more security for tenants and empowering them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction. We will implement this new system in one stage, giving all tenants security immediately. • Ensure possession grounds are fair to both parties, giving tenants more security, while ensuring landlords can recover their property when reasonable. The bill introduces new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell, and ensuring unscrupulous landlords cannot misuse grounds. • Provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by ensuring tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents which are purely designed to force them out. As now, landlords will still be able to increase rents to market price for their properties and an independent tribunal will make a judgement on this, if needed. • Introduce a new Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman that will provide quick, fair, impartial and binding resolution for tenants’ complaints about their landlord. This will bring tenant-landlord complaint resolution on par with established redress practices for tenants in social housing and consumers of property agent services • Create a Private Rented Sector Database to help landlords understand their legal obligations and demonstrate compliance (giving good landlords confidence in their position), alongside providing better information to tenants to make informed decisions when entering into a tenancy agreement. It will also support local councils – helping them target enforcement activity where it is needed most. Landlords will need to be registered on the database in order to use certain possession grounds. • Give tenants strengthened rights to request a pet in the property, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. To support this, landlords will be able to require pet insurance to cover any damage to their property • Apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poor-quality homes in local communities. • Apply ‘Awaab’s Law’ to the sector, setting clear legal expectations about the timeframes within which landlords in the private rented sector must take action to make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against prospective tenants in receipt of benefits or with children – helping to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live. • End the practice of rental bidding by prohibiting landlords and agents from asking for or accepting offers above the advertised rent. Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. • Strengthen local authority enforcement by expanding civil penalties, introducing a package of investigatory powers and bringing in a new requirement for local authorities to report on enforcement activity. • Strengthen rent repayment orders by extending them to superior landlords, doubling the maximum penalty and ensuring repeat offenders have to repay the maximum amount.

  600. While Farage's fascists spread "THE BIG LIE"....Mr Starmer has been busy: Under the Conservatives: 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. Keir Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions: Keir Starmer was appointed Chief Prosecutor and head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008. He held the post for five years, before becoming leader of the Labour Party in 2020. The role was a recognition of his work as a lawyer, which included helping to take Vladimir Putin to court for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and five years as legal advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, helping to bring communities together following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2014, Keir Starmer received a knighthood for his services to criminal justice. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. How Keir Starmer has stood up for victims of crime Keir Starmer reformed the Crown Prosecution Service so that victims were listened to – as a result, conviction rates of sexual offences rose and victims were better supported. Conservative MPs in the Tory government at the time praised Keir for his work. The then Tory Attorney General, Dominic Greaves, described Keir Starmer as “one of the most successful directors of recent years” and “highly effective and someone who always behaved with great integrity”. What Labour will do to tackle crime: Under the Conservatives, 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down.

  664. Mr Starmer was busy repairing the housing system that the Tories DESTROYED: RENTERS RIGHTS BILL: Overview of bill measures The Renters’ Rights Bill will: • Abolish section 21 evictions and move to a simpler tenancy structure where all assured tenancies are periodic – providing more security for tenants and empowering them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction. We will implement this new system in one stage, giving all tenants security immediately. • Ensure possession grounds are fair to both parties, giving tenants more security, while ensuring landlords can recover their property when reasonable. The bill introduces new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell, and ensuring unscrupulous landlords cannot misuse grounds. • Provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by ensuring tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents which are purely designed to force them out. As now, landlords will still be able to increase rents to market price for their properties and an independent tribunal will make a judgement on this, if needed. • Introduce a new Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman that will provide quick, fair, impartial and binding resolution for tenants’ complaints about their landlord. This will bring tenant-landlord complaint resolution on par with established redress practices for tenants in social housing and consumers of property agent services • Create a Private Rented Sector Database to help landlords understand their legal obligations and demonstrate compliance (giving good landlords confidence in their position), alongside providing better information to tenants to make informed decisions when entering into a tenancy agreement. It will also support local councils – helping them target enforcement activity where it is needed most. Landlords will need to be registered on the database in order to use certain possession grounds. • Give tenants strengthened rights to request a pet in the property, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse. To support this, landlords will be able to require pet insurance to cover any damage to their property • Apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poor-quality homes in local communities. • Apply ‘Awaab’s Law’ to the sector, setting clear legal expectations about the timeframes within which landlords in the private rented sector must take action to make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against prospective tenants in receipt of benefits or with children – helping to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live. • End the practice of rental bidding by prohibiting landlords and agents from asking for or accepting offers above the advertised rent. Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. • Strengthen local authority enforcement by expanding civil penalties, introducing a package of investigatory powers and bringing in a new requirement for local authorities to report on enforcement activity. • Strengthen rent repayment orders by extending them to superior landlords, doubling the maximum penalty and ensuring repeat offenders have to repay the maximum amount.

  834. MR STARMERS LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN BUSY REPAIRING THE TORIES BROKEN BRITAIN  & PROTECTECTING GB FROM REFORM LIES: The headlines are: • Record funding for the NHS! • Above inflation pay rises and improved rights for millions of workers. • Big reforms to improve the education, transport, energy, water quality and justice systems   Our Achievements  Health • We all know how important primary care is for our wellbeing as well as reducing the non-urgent use of A&E. We’re therefore giving an extra £889m for GPs on top of existing cash and tailoring incentives so you can see the same doctor! • An extra £25.7bn a year for the NHS- the biggest increase since 2010. The Tories would have continued their slow neglect of our NHS- so this is a huge turning point. • We are very lucky to have the wonderful Rotherham Hospice in our constituency, so I am delighted that we are investing £100 million into hospices across the UK to improve vital palliative care. • Work is well under way to introduce vital reforms in the NHS as well - it’s not just about throwing money at the problem. Housing • Voting for the Renters Right Bill – banning no fault evictions and making sure landlords are keeping homes safe and do not unfairly ban pets. This is huge in terms of enabling people to settle down and feel secure. • A new National Planning Policy Framework to make it easier to use low quality sites to build on so we can build the homes we desperately need. There are no easy answers to our housing crisis, but we know we need more affordable homes and infrastructure. Education • An extra £2.3bn for schools including an extra billion for SEND (special educational needs and disability) provision. Whilst I’m proud that through extensive campaigning the SEND is Rotherham has improved, access to SEND provision is one of the biggest issues in my inbox so this cash injection is very welcome. • Scrapped one word Ofsted reviews, rolling out breakfast clubs, expanding school-based nurseries, launching a curriculum review, bringing forward a Children’s bill.  Transport • The Rail Franchising Bill which will begin to bring our rail network back into public ownership.  • The Bus Service Bill which will enable local authorities to run their own buses. This will make it easier to get the routes we need. • I continue to push for more buses and more bus routes. This issue has a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the local economy and is not something I am backing away from. Living Standards • A huge 6.7% rise to the National Living Wage- a pay rise to 3.5 million of our lowest paid workers. That’s 3.5 million workers with extra cash to spend in their local economy. There’s also a record rise for under 21s as we move to end the age disparity as well as a rise for apprentices. This is a hugely significant move to reduce poverty. • Pay-rises of between 5% and 6% for our nurses, soldiers, teachers and public sector workers after years of below inflation rises leaving them significantly underpaid compared with 2010. • Established the Child Poverty Task Force which will tackle social injustice and is a huge step forward to ending child poverty for good. • The Employment Rights Bill which will bring the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights since the minimum wage was established in the late 90’s. This is a huge victory and thank you to our Trade Union colleagues for all their hard work. • And some very important news- latest data shows wages have risen by 5.2%, faster than the cost of living, meaning that after a decade of real wage stagnation, we may be finally starting to see real pay rises and people better off. • A personal favourite of mine: giving the surplus in the Mineworkers Pension Fund back to mineworkers. On average that’s £29 extra a week for a retiree and I’m hugely proud we have made it happen so quickly. Illegal Immigration • As we know, the huge rise in illegal immigration has fuelled distrust of our governments. Showing we can police our borders is vital so we have recruited a Border Security Commander responsible for smashing the gangs and bringing down the numbers of illegal migration.  • We have also deported over 2,590 people with no legal right to remain in the UK. This compares with just 2,170 enforced returns over the same period in 2023, a huge increase of 19% from under the last government. • We have upped the number of asylum cases being processed from just a few hundred under the Tories to thousands a month. That means those who have a right to be here can get their status confirmed and get on with their lives instead of being stuck in limbo. • Reversing MOD failures that saw brave Afghans who worked with our troops in Afghanistan unfairly denied asylum.  Justice • The Infected Blood Scandal is a horrible injustice and should never have happened. The previous government hadn’t set aside a penny in compensation, but we have committed to these families and allotted over £11bn. • Justice delayed is justice denied so I am glad we have opened up an extra 2000 Crown Court Sitting Days to hear cases and tackle the backlog. • Work is well under way on police funding so we can get those extra police officers recruited in South Yorkshire as soon as possible. Environment • Introduced Great British Energy Bill which will deliver more clean and secure energy and prevent our reliance on overseas sources.  • The legal preparation to permanently ban all types fracking is well under way. Whilst complex, I hope we will see legislation very soon. • Introduced the Water Measures Bill which penalises water bosses who pollute our water.  I could go on and detail the extra money for local authorities, the rise in legal aid, compensation for LGBT veterans unfairly dismissed, the establishment of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body and a new pilot scheme to give music lessons to disadvantaged children but perhaps that is another email! However, I think we can all agree that there is plenty there to be very proud of. Of course, the dire financial inheritance has meant we have had to make some tough decisions as well; decisions we would never have made had we entered government in economic circumstances like 1997. As you all know, we decided to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, restricting it to those eligible for Pension Credit.

MR STARMERS LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN BUSY REPAIRING THE TORIES BROKEN BRITAIN  & PROTECTECTING GB FROM REFORM LIES: The headlines are: • Record funding for the NHS! • Above inflation pay rises and improved rights for millions of workers. • Big reforms to improve the education, transport, energy, water quality and justice systems   Our Achievements  Health • We all know how important primary care is for our wellbeing as well as reducing the non-urgent use of A&E. We’re therefore giving an extra £889m for GPs on top of existing cash and tailoring incentives so you can see the same doctor! • An extra £25.7bn a year for the NHS- the biggest increase since 2010. The Tories would have continued their slow neglect of our NHS- so this is a huge turning point. • We are very lucky to have the wonderful Rotherham Hospice in our constituency, so I am delighted that we are investing £100 million into hospices across the UK to improve vital palliative care. • Work is well under way to introduce vital reforms in the NHS as well - it’s not just about throwing money at the problem. Housing • Voting for the Renters Right Bill – banning no fault evictions and making sure landlords are keeping homes safe and do not unfairly ban pets. This is huge in terms of enabling people to settle down and feel secure. • A new National Planning Policy Framework to make it easier to use low quality sites to build on so we can build the homes we desperately need. There are no easy answers to our housing crisis, but we know we need more affordable homes and infrastructure. Education • An extra £2.3bn for schools including an extra billion for SEND (special educational needs and disability) provision. Whilst I’m proud that through extensive campaigning the SEND is Rotherham has improved, access to SEND provision is one of the biggest issues in my inbox so this cash injection is very welcome. • Scrapped one word Ofsted reviews, rolling out breakfast clubs, expanding school-based nurseries, launching a curriculum review, bringing forward a Children’s bill.  Transport • The Rail Franchising Bill which will begin to bring our rail network back into public ownership.  • The Bus Service Bill which will enable local authorities to run their own buses. This will make it easier to get the routes we need. • I continue to push for more buses and more bus routes. This issue has a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the local economy and is not something I am backing away from. Living Standards • A huge 6.7% rise to the National Living Wage- a pay rise to 3.5 million of our lowest paid workers. That’s 3.5 million workers with extra cash to spend in their local economy. There’s also a record rise for under 21s as we move to end the age disparity as well as a rise for apprentices. This is a hugely significant move to reduce poverty. • Pay-rises of between 5% and 6% for our nurses, soldiers, teachers and public sector workers after years of below inflation rises leaving them significantly underpaid compared with 2010. • Established the Child Poverty Task Force which will tackle social injustice and is a huge step forward to ending child poverty for good. • The Employment Rights Bill which will bring the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights since the minimum wage was established in the late 90’s. This is a huge victory and thank you to our Trade Union colleagues for all their hard work. • And some very important news- latest data shows wages have risen by 5.2%, faster than the cost of living, meaning that after a decade of real wage stagnation, we may be finally starting to see real pay rises and people better off. • A personal favourite of mine: giving the surplus in the Mineworkers Pension Fund back to mineworkers. On average that’s £29 extra a week for a retiree and I’m hugely proud we have made it happen so quickly. Illegal Immigration • As we know, the huge rise in illegal immigration has fuelled distrust of our governments. Showing we can police our borders is vital so we have recruited a Border Security Commander responsible for smashing the gangs and bringing down the numbers of illegal migration.  • We have also deported over 2,590 people with no legal right to remain in the UK. This compares with just 2,170 enforced returns over the same period in 2023, a huge increase of 19% from under the last government. • We have upped the number of asylum cases being processed from just a few hundred under the Tories to thousands a month. That means those who have a right to be here can get their status confirmed and get on with their lives instead of being stuck in limbo. • Reversing MOD failures that saw brave Afghans who worked with our troops in Afghanistan unfairly denied asylum.  Justice • The Infected Blood Scandal is a horrible injustice and should never have happened. The previous government hadn’t set aside a penny in compensation, but we have committed to these families and allotted over £11bn. • Justice delayed is justice denied so I am glad we have opened up an extra 2000 Crown Court Sitting Days to hear cases and tackle the backlog. • Work is well under way on police funding so we can get those extra police officers recruited in South Yorkshire as soon as possible. Environment • Introduced Great British Energy Bill which will deliver more clean and secure energy and prevent our reliance on overseas sources.  • The legal preparation to permanently ban all types fracking is well under way. Whilst complex, I hope we will see legislation very soon. • Introduced the Water Measures Bill which penalises water bosses who pollute our water.  I could go on and detail the extra money for local authorities, the rise in legal aid, compensation for LGBT veterans unfairly dismissed, the establishment of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body and a new pilot scheme to give music lessons to disadvantaged children but perhaps that is another email! However, I think we can all agree that there is plenty there to be very proud of. Of course, the dire financial inheritance has meant we have had to make some tough decisions as well; decisions we would never have made had we entered government in economic circumstances like 1997. As you all know, we decided to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, restricting it to those eligible for Pension Credit.

  950. @BawlzOfuzz  "patriots" do not do the bidding of offshore anti British organisations like reform that is lead by and being the magnet of far right activists. Farage attended a FAR FAR RIGHT political meeting and the Mayor of Brussels closed the meeting down because Fascist are not welcome here! It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the "Antifascist coordination of Belgium". Suella Braverman, a sitting Conservative MP, was at the event  Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right," Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference In a message to organisers, Mr Kir said some of the attendees of Tuesday's conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. "Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right," his statement said. "The far right is not welcome," he added on X. SADLY - GOOD PEOPLE BELIEVE THE FANTASY - UNDELIVERABLE PROMISES THESE LEADERS MAKE BUT THE LEADERS ARE LEADING THE COMMON PEOPLE ON AND THEIR OFFSHORE UBER RIGHT WING BACKERS ARE STEERING AND ANTI BRITISH AGENDA - WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BULL! You're either pro British therefore pro- democracy therefore the democratically elected government OR AGAINST BRITIAN BY FOLLOWING FAR RIGHT WING OFFSHORE FUNDED ANTI-BRITISH REFORM WHO'S LEADERS ARE THE MODERN DAY OSWALD MOSELEY! Think deeply before you use the word "Patroit" again I beseech you to think about how anti British reform is....

  964. Under the Conservatives: 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. Keir Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions: Keir Starmer was appointed Chief Prosecutor and head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008. He held the post for five years, before becoming leader of the Labour Party in 2020. The role was a recognition of his work as a lawyer, which included helping to take Vladimir Putin to court for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and five years as legal advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, helping to bring communities together following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2014, Keir Starmer received a knighthood for his services to criminal justice. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. How Keir Starmer has stood up for victims of crime Keir Starmer reformed the Crown Prosecution Service so that victims were listened to – as a result, conviction rates of sexual offences rose and victims were better supported. Conservative MPs in the Tory government at the time praised Keir for his work. The then Tory Attorney General, Dominic Greaves, described Keir Starmer as “one of the most successful directors of recent years” and “highly effective and someone who always behaved with great integrity”. What Labour will do to tackle crime: Under the Conservatives, 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down.

  1050. Life under tories: Thames Water wants to raise prices 40%, spill more sewage and not be fined - after lining shareholders' pockets Early last year, regulator Ofwat at last woke up to the exploitation of the complex financial structures around our water companies. Holding companies had been allowed to borrow against water firms’ assets to increase dividends to shareholders. In one year (2007) Thames paid out more than £650 million in dividends, even though its profit was £241 million. Sixteen years later Ofwat finally moved to stop the companies paying “themselves” in this way. Or it thought it had. Thames Water has seen its troubles deepen after its parent company defaulted on part of its huge debt pile. Kemble Water has formally told lenders it failed to meet a deadline to pay interest on £400m of debt due on Tuesday. The water giant has also asked lenders not to take any action as it explores its options. Thames Water's 16 million customers will not be affected. This notification confirms an announcement on 28 March that Kemble would be unable to repay its lenders as interest and principal payments - including a loan repayment of £190m due at the end of April - come up. It has issued a formal notice to its bondholders, but asked them to take "no creditor action" in order to enable a "stable platform" for negotiations. Companies sell bonds to investors to raise the funds they need, paying the money back over time with a premium. Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

The figures, obtained under freedom of information laws, reveal for the first time the volume of sewage outflows into the section of the river covered by the £4.5bn Tideway Tunnel, which is due to open next year.
