We will legislate for an independent regulation to rein these cowboys in.

I think Shabana knows. It was in the newspaper at the time. I’ve not changed my view on that. I just think when people relocate because we have skills shortages in this country, I think we have to be aware of that.

In regards to the carers, who were asked to come to this country to care for some of our most vulnerable and then we changed the goalposts years down the line, I think that’s very disruptive.

I am concerned about shifting 'the goalposts years down the line' for people who arrived in the UK at the beginning of this decade.

I do have concerns about that.

Andy is probably more like me, in terms of [he] wears his heart on his sleeve.

It's always been Labour policy to recognise a Palestinian state, and it felt like we got there too late. It was something that should have been really clear.

If I'm making a decision that is highly likely to be in legal challenge, I want to make sure I've dotted my i's and crossed my t's.

This measure will give mayors the choice to raise and reinvest funding where it's needed most.

In light of legal advice, I want to satisfy myself firstly that the right process is in place, that it is robust, and of course complies with the law

Families can’t be left raising children without a place to call home, and none of us should spend years waiting for somewhere safe and affordable to live.

A safe, secure home is the foundation of opportunity, but too many people are being priced out of the communities where they want to live and work

We want the water companies to do more and we’re pressing them to do more.

We’re seeing a pattern here with the wildfires. We’re seeing a pattern with climate.

By unlocking thousands of homes around well-connected transport hubs, we're helping people live closer to work, school and the services they rely on, while backing local businesses and driving growth in our communities.

We will do everything to make sure our fire services have the resources they need from us and our support to deal with the unprecedented risks being driven by this heatwave.

It is awful to see the devastation fires have caused across the country.

That’s why we’re drawing a line so that developers have to prove there’s genuinely no way to save a pub before they can even think about knocking it down, because building the homes we desperately need should never come at the cost of the…

Pubs are part of who we are as a nation. They’re where we celebrate, grieve, argue and belong, the beating heart of so many of our communities, and it’s an outrage that weak protections have allowed too many of them to slip away without a…

While it's welcome that more households are being helped into a home and fewer families are living in bed and breakfast accommodation, these figures show there is still a long way to go, with record numbers stuck in temporary accommodation.
