What a way to kick off the year with @JewishLabour’s one day conference. Was a pleasure to discuss Labour’s past, present & future, alongside other important topics including Ukraine. Thanks to @Keir_Starmer we can now focus on Labour’s future - and it’s bright.

On my way to Tynecastle in Lothian buses speak with two ladies, age 79 &. 83 about their NHS experiences I wonder if any of our cosseted Ministers ever get out of their chauffeur driven limos & talk with the folk the purport to represent. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:

New Labour’s NHS reforms transformed a service where long waiting times had left hundreds of thousands in pain into a service where short waits, patient choice, rising staff numbers & new facilities were the norm. @wesstreeting is going to have to do that all over again.

For @CNN, I wrote about the people caught in the middle of two crises: cladding and the cost of living. Five years on from Grenfell, thousands remain trapped in unsafe homes, facing bills they can't afford for building work that hasn't started. cnn.com/2022/12/31/uk/claddi…

My Labour government will always put country before Party. The Tories promised the country they would build 300,000 houses a year. This week, Rishi Sunak scrapped mandatory targets. He sold out people who want to own their own home to keep a few of his MPs happy.

If you make Britain your home you should pay your taxes here too. That’s why Labour will abolish non-dom tax status and instead train a new generation of doctors, nurses, and midwives. Nurses not non-doms.

Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer says that a child born today wouldn't be able to buy their first home until they're 45. The Prime Minister says, the Conservatives have created the largest number of first time buyers in 20 years and are "delivering record numbers of new homes".

Yet again the Prime Minister shows he's too weak to stand up to vested interests. Keir Starmer's Labour will end tax breaks for private schools so that every child gets a brilliant state education. #PMQs
"Whether its private schools, oil giants, or those that don't pay their taxes here, every week he hands out taxes to those who don't need it." @Keir_Starmer tells Rishi Sunak to put country before party in this week's #PMQs.
