The Tories haven't tabled a debate on education for the King's Speech. I wonder why? Maybe they don't want to talk about all the things Labour are doing to give children growing up in our country the best start in life – so here's your reminder. 👇

We're delivering the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation, the biggest boost to defence spending since the Cold War, and lifting more children out of poverty in a single term than any 🇬🇧 Government in history. We're building a stronger, fairer Britain.

As a government, we acknowledge the role that the state played in historic forced adoption including the harm and trauma that followed. We will deliver both the apology and the support that those affected deserve.

I am proud that this Labour government is closing such a shameful chapter in this country's history. To all those women and their children failed by the British state, you will get the apology - and justice - you so profoundly deserve.
Forced adoption survivors to get full apology from UK government, says Phillipson

While the war in the Middle East pushes up prices up globally, we have got the right economic plan and inflation has held steady. We’re protecting families and businesses, with cuts in energy bills and freezes in fuel duty. Labour is building a stronger, more secure Britain.

I’m grateful for the work of our teachers every day, but special thanks today. As Education Secretary, I remain committed to listening to and working with teachers to give children growing up in our country the best start in life. #ThankATeacherDay

The changes that we’ve driven – record attendance gains, improved behaviour, free breakfast clubs rolling out, more children enjoying and feeling they belong in school – they’re only possible when we come together. My department will always recognise that fact, and value you.

So this day doesn’t come with warm words alone as it has in years past. It comes in a context of record investment in schools, near 10% pay rises, better maternity rights, more work underway on wellbeing. Lots done with your support. Lots more still to do – we will get it done.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

This government is driving a sea change in the way we approach the early years, and we need the workforce to back it up. That’s why we’re providing a £4,500 bonus for teachers working in nurseries in some of England's most deprived communities, helping give every child the best

Roy Hattersley reflects on the poverty in Sheffield in the 1950s that shaped his socialism - after spending the Summer as a milkman’s mate. “It was my first confrontation with the idea of the underserving poor. I rejected it then and I reject it now”.
