    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. 👇
    A list of achievements by the Labour government related to education.

    School support staff deserve better. That's why we're bringing back the School Support Staff Negotiating Body, to give them all a seat at the table.

    Attendance improving, behaviour improving, exclusions decreasing, suspensions decreasing. 👏 The efforts of schools, parents and government are working – tackling the causes of misbehaviour and building a system where every child can achieve and thrive.

    I promised that we would fix our NHS, so it’s fit for the future. Today, more patients are reporting improved experiences with their GP, dentist, and pharmacist since we’ve been in government. Delivering real change to people across the country.

    Childhood is changing, and so must education. Today I spoke about how in a world transformed, education is what will truly set us free.

    50 years ago, Jim Callaghan delivered a speech at Ruskin on the future of education. Today, I'm doing the same. High-quality early years education is how we close the disadvantage gap. Expanding it to those who need is most is the future of education. nurseryworld.co.uk/content/news/e…

    Here's what my speech today is about. Opening school-based nurseries and rolling out 30 hours of government-funded childcare has halved costs for parents. But we need to open up access, so that children who have the most to gain from high-quality early years education get it.

    I’m proud of what this Labour government has achieved over the past two years. We’re fixing the mess the Tories left after 14 years in government. I’ll take our record over theirs any day of the week.

    I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

    A money-saving school uniform hack, from the Education Secretary. 4 million children are set to be affected by this change in the law, so make sure to watch this video before your back-to-school shop – and share with other parents too.

    By now, you may assume that every person on the planet knows the result of last night’s @England game? Wrong. At @Colt_Pri_School near Norwich, they’re watching the match this morning - and here’s how they celebrated @BellinghamJude’s opener! #FIFAWorldCup #ThreeLions

    Over half of parents worry about school uniform costs. Some have gone without heating or eating to afford it. We've changed the law to cut costs. The Tories and Reform opposed it, calling it 'interference'. Labour will always interfere to back families.
    I won't let parents go hungry to afford a child's embroidered uniform blazer, writes Bridget...
