Upgrading Haughley Junction could remove 150,000 lorry journeys per year from the A14.
Together with increasing capacity at Ely Junction, investment would unlock more passenger rail services and moving more freight from the port of Felixstowe to the Midlands and the North.

Britain has a golden opportunity to break with the failed approach of leasing trains from private ROSCOs.
The government should look to keep the money on the track by procuring new rolling stock publicly.

The determination of the Fatal Accident Inquiry into the Carmont crash reaffirms that this was a tragedy that should never have happened.
Our thoughts are with the families of Christopher Stuchbury, Donald Dinnie and train driver Brett McCullough.

It's a really good day to organise.
From today, unions will have the right of access to workplaces to meet workers, grow unions and raise wages and improve conditions across the country.
More workers covered by collective bargaining is a key part of building an economy that This has come about thanks to the New Deal for Working People - the Labour-union link in action.
Join a union. Organise. Win.

Last year union membership rose by nearly 200,000.
I’m confident new union access rights that come into force today will help open membership to hundreds of thousands more workers.

London is getting the powers it needs to deliver big projects like:
🟤 Bakerloo line extension
🟠 West London Orbital
🏗️ Euston expansion
Let's get to it!

Let's get to it!
Number 10 North is driving the largest devolution of power to London's communities we've seen in a generation.
By granting London the ability to invest potentially billions of pounds more in our future, it will help unlock transformational infrastructure projects such as the West London Orbital, the Bakerloo line extension and Euston knowledge quarter. A true devolution revolution.
