London- Under this Labour Government, Britain is witnessing a decisive and long-overdue economic turnaround. After years of instability and stagnation, we are beginning to see real progress—progress rooted in responsibility, long-term planning, and a commitment to fairness.
In the first quarter of this year alone, the UK economy grew by 0.7%—a performance that makes us the fastest-growing economy in the G7. We have outpaced the United States, Canada, Germany, France, and Italy. These figures represent more than just statistics—they are a sign that the policies of this Labour Government are restoring confidence and setting the UK on a stable path to prosperity.
This growth has not happened by accident. It is the product of careful economic management, a laser focus on investment, and a government committed to supporting working people. From revitalizing small businesses and boosting skills to rebuilding public services and tackling climate change, Labour is laying the foundation for a fairer, stronger, and more sustainable economy.
However, we are fully aware that many families are still struggling. The cost of living remains a daily concern for millions. Rising prices, energy bills, food costs, and housing pressures continue to put strain on households up and down the country. We hear these concerns, and we are acting.
This Government is already taking action to:
-
Stabilise energy bills and invest in long-term green solutions.
-
Strengthen the NHS by recruiting more doctors, nurses, and care workers.
-
Deliver affordable childcare and support for working families.
-
Build more homes and fix a broken housing system.
-
Invest in education and skills to unlock opportunity for every generation.
What sets this Labour Government apart is our unwavering commitment to ensuring that growth is not only achieved but shared—by every region, every community, and every person. We are determined that no one will be left behind.
This is a new era of responsible governance. An era where the British people can once again expect leadership that plans for the future—not just for the next headline. We are rebuilding not just our economy, but the very fabric of trust between government and the public.
As the Member of Parliament for Birmingham Edgbaston, I see firsthand the resilience and aspirations of our communities. I am committed to ensuring that the benefits of economic growth are felt by those who have long been overlooked and left out of prosperity.
Labour is delivering stability, security, and a clear vision for the future. While there is more work to do, and challenges still ahead, the UK is finally heading in the right direction.
Under Labour, Britain is turning a corner—and this is only the beginning.
