National borrowing is falling faster than expected.
Inflation is down.
Interest rates are falling.
Real wages are improving.

Congratulations to Antonia on her appointment as Cabinet Secretary.
Not only is she the first female Cabinet Secretary but sheβs shown that she can get government to move fast and fix things.
I look forward to working with her to deliver for the United Kingdom.
The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform.
All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.
Thanks to Ed Winters for joining my latest βIn conversation withβ event for constituents and to Bristol Uni for hosting us in their Stoke Bishop halls.
We discussed the governmentβs new animal welfare strategy and Edβs work raising public awareness about industrial farming.
A rainy but very positive morning in Henleaze talking to local residents about local and national issues.

The world is increasingly volatile.
As the Prime Minister has said, we will not be cowed by that.
We will stand up for our values and protect British interests.
The government is going to move fast and fix things.
Today I announced that we are:
βοΈ cutting bureaucracy
π using the Vaccine Taskforce model to deliver on your priorities
β
promoting the doers not the talkers within the civil service.
Weβre changing how public services work β to move fast and fix things and make sure theyβre there when you need them most.
The government is moving healthcare closer to you and freezing prescription charges, to help you keep well and keep costs down.
Lovely to join BBC Radio 4 to review the year that was and to look ahead to 2026.

Weβll be working with philanthropists, charities and impact investors to deliver on the promise of change.
