Today I had an inspiring afternoon in Lowestoft with our brilliant candidate Jess Asato at Pathways Care Farm, which helps people get the skills and confidence they need to find work.

Organisations like Pathways Care Farm have a huge role in helping people get the skills and confidence to get back to work.

Across the country there are now a record number of people locked out of work due to long term sickness and we are the only G7 country whose employment rate still isn’t back to pre-pandemic levels.

Labour’s plan will get Britain working by cutting NHS waiting lists, introducing a new national jobs and careers service, making work pay and supporting people into good jobs across every part of the country.
