We all want #WatfordGeneral rebuilt. In the summer, the #LabourGovernment made £12million of funding available for enabling works on the site, to prepare it for the new hospital.

Here I am with the massive crane in the background undertaking the initial clearance work.

There’s good news on the cost-of-living and the economy. Inflation is falling, the BoE has cut interest rates six times since the election (a 17 year record), cutting the national debt and the best growth of European G7 countries in 2025. The #LabourGovernment’s plan is working!

Never let people tell you that a #Labour government doesn’t make a difference or that we’re all the same. We’re not.
