Tackling the cost of living is this government's number one priority. That's why energy bills will fall next week. But we're also learning the right lessons from the current conflict to protect families in the future.

The Royal Burgh of Rutherglen is 900 years old and to celebrate there are banners in each part of the Burgh. I went out for a run on Easter Sunday to see if I could find them - missed a few but a good 11k route if the sun stays out! Good luck if you go looking for them all too!

Burgh Primary pupils have taken over my podcast 👀🎙️ Ep 4 of 'A Blether With..' is out, with me in the hot seat as pupils from Burgh Primary stepped up as interviewers. They asked brilliant, insightful questions and kept me on my toes! Listen now at: michaelshanksmp.co.uk/a-blether-wi...

From today, energy bills will come down. Labour took the decision to bring down bills by asking the wealthiest to pay a little more. That’s the fair thing to do. We know there’s more to do to tackle the cost of living but this is an important step.

Great to be at the East of England Energy Group's Southern North Sea Conference celebrating 25 years of innovation, expertise + ambition across the energy sector. It's what our energy strategy is all about - energy security, good jobs and investment in communities the length and breadth of the UK.

On C4 News earlier - Sizewell C is a vital project for our energy security but also an economic opportunity - 10,000 jobs, 1,500 apprenticeships and supply chain investment right across the UK. This government is delivering a new golden age for nuclear power in Britain.

Our clean energy mission means good jobs, regional growth, and investment for local communities. Trailblazing carbon capture projects Protos & Heidelberg Materials are securing 500 skilled clean energy jobs and apprenticeships in North Wales & the North-West.

After decades of underinvestment we're driving forward the biggest upgrade in Britain's electricity grid in generations. Making sure our electricity remains resilient, creating thousands of jobs across the country and delivering economic growth to every corner of the UK.

Mental health doesn’t tend to follow a calendar but today’s a good point to reach out to those around us, check in and have a proper conversation - it could make all the difference. And if you need support, phone the @samaritans.bsky.social 24/7 on 116 123. ☎️ #BlueMonday #BrewMonday

On Thursday, we have the chance to change Scotland. The SNP has had two decades. Reform is only interested in division. Give Scottish Labour five years to prove this isn’t as good as it gets in Scotland.

Listen to this mental case ramble on about if Jesus Christ counted the votes in California he would’ve won, and he’s considering running for the next Prime Minister of Israel. Then he starts insulting James Talarico. If there is a God, that orange motherfucker is gonna burn for eternity.🔥😈

I guess I’m not shocked that the Republicans I grew up with ended up not really caring about small government or states’ rights or, like, NATO. But I’m genuinely surprised and disappointed they haven’t distanced themselves from this tacky nonsense.
