Britain was built on the bedrock of industrial jobs offering security and a good wage. My government's Green Prosperity Plan will back the pride and ambition in our industrial heartlands. With good jobs, higher wages and energy security - Labour will get Britain's future back.

My-mission driven government will create good jobs and secure billions of investment into our industrial heartlands and coastal communities. More decline under the Tories - or national renewal with Labour. That's the choice. www.thenorthernecho.co.uk…

I gave Rishi Sunak three chances to rule out cuts to the NHS, cuts to the state pension, or tax rises to pay for his Liz Truss style £46 billion unfunded tax cut. Each time, he refused. I’ve explained how Labour will fully fund all our plans. Rishi Sunak can’t do the same.

After 14 years of Tory failure, you know our country needs change. You can see it everywhere you look.   I changed the Labour Party. Now, I’m ready to change the country.    That starts with the local elections on Thursday 2 May.   Vote Labour to get Britain’s future back.
