I feel hopeful about the talks today on fixing our broken care system but this is just the beginning. A solution is desperately needed. I will always stand up for family carers through this process.

After 22 failed attempts to sort the social care crisis. The 23rd must now deliver. It's time to put family carers first, guarantee free personal care, and end catastrophic care costs. @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social

Nothing beats a Jet2Holiday...except a smooth border process. Andy Burnham needs to pick up the phone to each and every European leader - and persuade them, collectively, to suspend EES and save the British summer holiday. @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social

We’re already spending £35bn a year on a broken social care system. All political parties should recognise the urgent need to fix the social care crisis. @LaylaMoran.bsky.social

Rather than throw money at yet more new recruits who quit under intolerable pressure, the government needs a new approach. Through guaranteeing protected, year-round training and professional development we can help midwives cope with rising complexity and risk.

These statistics reveal an alarming crisis in maternity, with far too many midwives burning out early in their career and in their training. Patients are paying the price, and mothers are left with no alternative but to give birth on understaffed and unsafe wards.

Holidaymakers should not be punished by a bungled, malfunctioning border system that is completely out of their control. Andy Burnham needs to pick up the phone to European leaders – and persuade them to suspend the EES until at least September

Holidaymakers should not be punished by a bungled, malfunctioning border system that is completely out of their control. Andy Burnham needs to pick up the phone to European leaders – and persuade them to suspend the EES until at least September.

From booking platforms bleeding our local B&Bs dry, to airlines hitting families with stealth charges, holidaymakers are being ripped off at every turn. Combined with the absolute armageddon at our airports due to the EES rollout, the government is letting summer be ruined.

People have faced a grueling year, yet the simple pleasure of a summer holiday is being pushed out of reach by runaway costs and systemic travel chaos. By lowering hidden fees, curbing big tech profiteering, and sorting out the chaos at our borders, we can make travel affordable and stress-free.

Even after today's announcement, high street hospitality businesses up and down the country will still be in serious trouble. Andy Burnham should take up our plan to Save our High Streets, with a proper overhaul of business rates, a crackdown on ‘ghost landlords’ and rejuvenating town centres

Another prime minister crowned, a UK-EU summit delayed... and zero solutions for the real issues facing the UK. Our Europe spokesperson @AlPinkerton.bsky.social explains how businesses, farmers and households are paying the price.

Britain needs a bold economic vision: an early budget, a credible growth plan, and real support for households and businesses.

A new job, a new EdStone? Here are six key commitments for Miliband as Foreign Secretary

The cost-of-living crisis is an emergency. Bring forward the Budget and deliver real savings, not small political gestures.

Nothing from Burnham on social care, on Europe, or on protecting our precious natural environment. That needs to come very soon – Britain can't wait much longer.

Andy Burnham has a very short window to turn this government around, end the chaos and build trust with communities the whole length and breadth of the UK.

Our three tests to end the social care crisis. Support family carers, recognising millions of people looking after their loved ones. A universal safety net of care so no one is denied the dignity they deserve. Protection against catastrophic costs so you don’t lose everything you’ve worked for.
