Lampwise has been in business for over 20 years and you can see why - it sells every kind of lamp, bulb and accessory possible.
Small businesses like this provide a service that internet giants can never match. But the unfair business rates system is holding them back.

Today we met with Ryan, owner of eco-conscious hairdressers Crawford Hair.
His salon has many loyal customers who come from many miles away for great service.
But like many small businesses, especially high street ones, Ryan’s costs are rising.

Great to be out and about on Stony Stratford high street today with @emily4MK and @chriscurtis94 this #SmallBusinessSaturday.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of local economies - and only Labour understands what they need to grow and thrive.

A great start to #SmallBizSatUK with some special treats from Hamblin Bread. This specialist bakery has many fans in East Oxford!
Small businesses are the lifeblood of Oxford, providing jobs and supporting families, and I would encourage everyone to shop local whenever they can.

Huge congratulations to Tony Boyle on his win last night in Broxburn, Uphill and Winchburgh.
Results across the country show how much people want a change away from both the Conservatives and the SNP.
That’s change that only Labour can deliver.

Congratulations to community champion @CllrSDixon, Labour’s new MP for City of Chester.
This record-breaking result shows voters have had enough of the Conservatives.
Only Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and deliver a fairer, greener future for Britain.
RT @LabourNorthWest: Congratulations to @CllrSDixon, Labour’s new MP for City of Chester.
This is a landslide result for Labour - bigger than in 1997 - and Sam has achieved the best result …

Narrowing the gap in health outcomes between richest and poorest ought to be our national mission in Britain
My question to the Equalities Minister earlier today 👇

The Conservatives' inaction on violence against women is inexcusable. During the #16days, I asked the govt to follow @UKLabour's lead and introduce:
⚖️ specialist rape courts
🚔 rape specialists in every police force
📃a domestic abuse register.
Enough is enough.

It is shocking that there is no government advice for LGBT+ football fans travelling to Qatar to cheer on their teams or information on how they can stay safe at the World Cup.
Today I raised this failure of leadership with the Women and Equalities Minister

Great to be in Chester today to support our fantastic Labour candidate @cllrSDixon.
Sam is a really strong advocate for Chester and its people.

It’s unacceptable for a former MP to claim expenses after resigning for such a crime.
I’ve written to @ipsaUK calling for an investigation into this case and a review into the rules to make sure this can’t happen again.

Here is John and Penny’s story.

It was a privilege to visit @osarcc this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls to discuss their work supporting survivors of sexual violence.
The next Labour Government will prioritise tackling violence against women and girls. #IDEVAW2022

On #WhiteRibbonDay, Labour has a plan to keep women and girls safe.
We would bring in tougher sentences, rape units in every police force, a Domestic Violence Register and more.
Under @Keir_Starmer's Labour Government, we would protect women and girls against violence.

A pleasure to join @Afzal4Gorton and @ZaraM01 this week as part of Islamophobia Awareness Month.
Hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 28% last year, accounting for 42% of all religiously-motivated hate crimes.
This #IAM2022, Labour stands united against this pervasive hatred.

Great commentary from @alexscott yesterday and a powerful stand for LGBT+ rights. Both the players and the fans should never have been put in this position. #OneLove

Was great to be out on the #LabourDoorstep today in Rose Hill with @OxUniLabour, @isabsimpson, and some of our excellent local Labour councillors.
We heard repeated concerns about the cost of living and NHS crises.
