This week, on World Homeless Day, the government announced its £84 million cash boost to help councils prevent homelessness and support families this winter.

This historic decision, taken alongside some of our closest allies, reflects the Government's unwavering commitment to a two-state solution and affirms the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

Data shows that in its first year the government delivered 5 million extra NHS appointments. That’s enough to fill Wembley Stadium over 55 times. Promise made, promise delivered. That means patients in Birmingham benefiting from quicker access to care. This government inherited an NHS where some patients waited as long as 18 months for treatment.
