Agg fuel pump issues

My fuel pump has recently stopped working (mk2 gti) there's power at the push on socket that attaches to the pump it just doesn't do anything. The van was running spot on before it seems strange that it would just stop overnight.

Re: No power to ignition,lights and radio

The battery is reading 12.4v, fuses are all spot on, tried turning the ignition on still the same reading.
