Many of the people who keep our government running- cleaners, caterers, security staff, are outsourced workers. This has meant they can be overlooked and treated differently.
This is not fair and we are ending it.

- This Labour government intends to bring facilities staff in-house when their contract ends. I am proud that this will be the largest wave of insourcing in a generation as we deliver on our commitment to Making Work Pay.
- While the war in the Middle East pushes up prices up globally, we have got the right economic plan and inflation has held steady. We’re protecting families and businesses, with cuts in energy bills and freezes in fuel duty. Labour is building a stronger, more secure Britain.
- As Chancellor I have stepped in to cut red diesel duty by a third, to protect farmers and our rural communities.00:00
- 'We have far more in common than that which divides us.' 10 years on the message of my dear friend Jo Cox remains as important as ever. The world is a fairer, kinder place because of her legacy.00:00
- Last month I announced the first increase in HMRC mileage rates since 2011. It was great to hear from @AndreaEganGS and @unisontheunion members today about the positive difference this change will make for many working people.
- This is the difference this Labour government is making. Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background. An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.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 & commutes. Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹
- Brilliant to see Labour Mayors choosing to Buy British. This will mean British jobs and investment, all while delivering value for the taxpayer.Another step forward for West Yorkshire’s Weaver Network 🚌 We've brought UK manufacturer Wright Bus on board to deliver almost 200 electric buses, ready to hit the streets when we take buses back under public control from next year. 👉Read the latest on our Weaver Network:
- I want every family to have fun this summer. That's why I’m cutting VAT on children’s activities and meals with Great British Summer Savings. Our economic plan is the right one, to support families and businesses, and build a stronger and more secure Britain.
- Good news for families - every child aged 5-15 in England will travel free on buses this summer, with unlimited journeys, no registration required, and no cost to families. Our economic plan is the right one. Tackling the cost of living and building a stronger Britain.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThe free bus travel for children aged 5-15 in England applies only from 1-31 August on participating local buses, not the entire summer. gov.uk/government/new…bbc.com/news/articles/…
- The war in Iran is pushing up prices at the pump, so we're stepping in. We are extending the 5p fuel duty cut until the end of the year- keeping costs lower for millions of drivers. We have the right economic plan to protect households and build a stronger Britain.
- Growth higher than forecast, borrowing down, and now inflation falling further than expected. This Labour government has the right economic plan.
- Rachel Reeves repostedLast week’s strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. Today, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast. We are building a stronger, fairer Britain.
- The IMF upgrading its growth forecasts for the UK and backing our fiscal strategy is yet more proof that this Government has the right economic plan.Protecting households and businesses from rising costs is my priority, and the choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran.
