Great to hear Shadow Min for Emp talking up importance of skills for Labour’s growth mission. Cross govt approach will be vital for this + WorldSkills UK knows how to deliver the high quality skills to drive investment and jobs #NSPath2Power

At #NSpath2power where Dan Norris pledges a #Labour govt. would provide small and indy shops £2k grant to pay for extra security to prevent shoplifting, remove the £200 threshold for “serious” shoplifting offences.

Clearly was having a great time at the The New Statesman Path to Power Conference earlier this week. Always interesting to hear Labour's vision for the UK, particularly around growth and productivity in the labour market. Plenty to consider in the coming months #NSPath2Power
“A lack of a stable solid political foundation” behind the issues faced by businesses in recent years.
Great to catch Jonathan Reynolds at The New Statesman Path To Power conference today speaking on sustained growth & state investment.

Jack McConnell Serah Makka ONE Wayne David Alona Ferber Chatham House “In essence, Britain should act as a force for good in the world… Hopefully the aid budget will increase once there are more resources.

.Alison McGovern tells NSLiveEvents that - the Labour Party has made connections between the economy and poor health. We can’t have a strong economy without strong public services. You can trace what happens in the economy through public health. #NSPath2Power
Onto the future of crime and policing with Emily Thornberry at #NSPath2Power
Striking parallels with health. A system drowning under rising demand and lack of investment.
The answer - a shift towards prevention and early intervention!
Good to hear Rushanara Ali 💙 talking at The New Statesman's Path to Power conference on the need to rebuild foundations where there are skills gaps, particularly supporting 14-19 y/o group - and the need to connect young people to the world of work much earlier. #NSPath2Power
Great to be at the #NSPath2Power event today!
And to hear from Andy Burnham on opportunities to deliver on #devolution in Manchester.
From 5,000 carbon neutral new homes, to integrated public transport to boost productivity across the region.
At #NSPath2Power conference, great to hear Andy Burnham suggest ‘rewiring’ political power in the UK ‘is now urgent’.
We agree that PR for the Commons must be a core part of any serious programme of political empowerment.
Power at present is concentrated in too few hands.
Really interesting to hear from Andy Burnham at The New Statesman conference #NSPath2Power about need to galvanise reform to devolve power further to local areas and bring back a sense of hope to the country
Followed by a panel on crime with the fantastic Emily Thornberry, Dan Norris & other experts discussing how fraud is used to fund other crimes - terrorism, drugs and human trafficking & raising important issue of shoplifting.
