Welcome to Shadow Accord!

today pledges 'immediate support' to help the hardest hit families with soaring power bills if she becomes prime minister and said she plans to hold an emergency budget within days of arriving at No 10.
The price cap is expected to be raised to more than £3,500 per household today - almost treble the figure a year ago.
Analysts say bills could rise by a further £1,000 in January, with more pain in April as Vladimir 'weaponises' his gas resources.
But writing in the Daily Mail, Miss Truss says she would use an emergency budget next month to 'ensure support is on its way to get through these tough times'.
Energy firms warn that millions of families may be unable to pay their bills this winter without government help.

And business leaders predict that many firms will go under unless action is taken to rein in their exorbitant power costs.
The Foreign Secretary argued it was not 'right' to announce the full plan before the contest is over or she has seen all the analysis being prepared in Whitehall.
She was looking at assistance 'across the board' despite in the past insisting she was focused on slashing taxes, rather than what she termed 'giving out handouts' but has now promised 'decisive action' to deliver 'immediate support'.
