King's speech today as we lay out our new agenda.

In the King's Speech today, the Government set out our next legislative priorities, which build on our achievements to date.

From ending the scandal of the leasehold system, to cleaning up our waterways and creating energy security, we're choosing to build resilience, spread opportunity and ensure we don’t just weather this storm, but build a stronger, fairer country for all.

Good news

Disabled residents in Southampton will soon be able to use their bus passes at any time of day, following a decision by the Labour Council to remove time restrictions and make disabled bus travel available 24 hours a day, seven days a week within the city.

The change is part of the Labour Council’s wider commitment to building a transport system that works for everyone and supports independence, equality and opportunity across the city.

Cllr Alex Winning, Labour Leader of Southampton City Council, “This is the right thing to do and it will make a real difference to people’s lives. Disabled people shouldn’t face artificial barriers about when they can travel. If we are serious about fairness, independence and opportunity, then we need to make sure people can get where they need to go – whenever they need to go."

Further details on implementation and timings will be shared directly with pass holders.

More good news for Millbrook ward.

24/04/2026

More good news in Southampton. Our Labour candidate in Millbrook ward has welcomed the new free breakfast club at Mason Moor school where he went to as a child. One of the breakfast clubs being introduced across Southampton Test.

This Labour government is focused on bringing down the cost of living. Here in Millbrook that involves making sure children get a good breakfast.

Our candidate, Anwar Jawula, welcomes this new free breakfast club at the primary school he himself attended, Mason Moor.

Labour is on your side, building a fairer country so that where you’re from doesn’t determine where you end up and if you work hard, you’re able to get on in life.

Our uncensored Party Election Broadcast exposes comments made by Reform politicians that are too offensive to be aired on TV. We must reveal the true extent of the appalling views Nigel Farage and the people behind him really hold. It’s down to us to make sure voters see it to show why we need to beat Reform.

Too shocking to be shown in full on television.
