Lovely to meet Hiroshi Suzuki, the Japanese Ambassador who is exploring the cultural delights of our country -I pointed out only gap on his tour is a visit to the best place to live in London 2025 (#Sunday times) If he accepts my offer Walthamstow what should we take him to first?! #loveWalthamstow

In stark contrast, Nigel Farage and Reform spread dangerous medical misinformation and advocate for ending the NHS as we know it. The Labour Party will always fight for the NHS, for the whole country, free at the point of use.

The Health and Social Care Secretary has also committed to creating a National Care Service worthy of the name, giving those who are elderly or with disabilities the dignity they deserve.

Labour is the party of the NHS and @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social’s speech demonstrates this.

Labour is making a difference, with 5 million more NHS appointments, 2,000 more GPs and online booking systems to end the 8am rush.

And this is only the beginning. Today, our Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer set out a path for renewal based on security, opportunity and respect. (3/3)

A Youth Guarantee backed by a new target of 2/3 of young people going into university or a gold standard apprenticeship.

A new NHS Online, saving working people time where digital appointments meaning faster and more effective care. A system that can deliver up to 8.5 million appointments. (2/3)

This government will deliver national renewal. It is our number one mission to see growth in living standards.

A Britain built for all where no child is held back by poverty, communities brought together, investment in every single part of the country. #Labourconference2025

We have only just started. Today the Chancellor announced record investment in skills to support our young people. This includes a new Youth Guarantee and delivering a library in every primary school in England as part of Labour's plans to give all children the best start in life.

Funding for free breakfast clubs and expansion of free school meals, vital support for British Steel and breaking down barriers to international trade. Instead of Tory decline this Labour Government is choosing investment.

Today the Chancellor has shown that Labour believes in a Britain based on opportunity.

Her work to renew Britain is already underway with funding for public transport projects such as the metro extension to Washington.

The top priority for ALL school meals campaigners, must be to increase the Per-meal funding

It’s self defeating to increase FSM numbers when schools have to subsidise the meals from teaching budgets

Exclusive: how a flagship Labour policy put a £310m hole in school budgets Expanding free school meals is a great policy, but the government does not seem to have accounted for the extra costs it imposes on schools

Great piece in the New Statesman today covering work by Greta Defeyter at Northumbria University. We all want the free school meals expansion to succeed, but the government’s ambition must be matched by proper funding.

Free breakfast clubs to be rolled out to half a million more kids within months Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said she was proud that free breakfast clubs will be rolled out to 2,000 more primary schools next year

🚨 NEW: Labour’s free breakfast clubs are being rolled out to half a million more children.

Our national rollout begins here – to put money in parents’ pockets and to give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

I was privileged to attend the 15th Japan Matsuri 2025 in Trafalgar Square, the UK’s biggest annual celebration of Japanese food and culture, alongside the Japanese Ambassador and other Parliamentarians. The recent growth in UK-Japanese relations has had enormous impact on our economy and security.

Text of a letter from Bridget Phillipson to Kemi Badenoch about Liz Truss.

Kemi Badenoch should throw Liz Truss out of the Tory party. See my letter below 👇

Premier League: Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal black market tickets Find out what happened when we tried to attend four Premier League games with tickets from

Despite reselling unauthorised football tickets being illegal under UK law, this practice is till taking place. 🎟️

The Government must crack down on these black market ticketing websites and make ticketing legislation supranational to stop touts based overseas.

Here's a roundup of my week in Parliament 🌹

This is therefore a milestone moment for patient safety and at last puts accountability and integrity first. (8/8)

This will ensure officials always act with honesty and integrity, with criminal sanctions for breaches. Patient safety is about changing cultures and challenging norms but it is also about getting the right legislation through Parliament. (7/8)

Introduced to mark the lives lost at Hillsborough, this landmark legislation will ensure the truth can never be concealed by the state again. It will put a legal duty of candour on public officials/ authorities to prevent coverups seen in past scandals. (6/8)

I will continue to work with colleagues cross-party to push for justice for the victims of these scandals, and the prevention of future health scandals through building a system that listens, validates and protects its patients. (5/8)

As the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on First Do No Harm, the victims of the mesh, primodos and valproate scandals remain at the forefront of my mind today. (4/8)

Numerous examples of health scandals, with some having been brought to justice and others left in the dark, unfortunately stand as a stark reminder of the work we still have to do. (3/8)

However, the end goal must be to remove the need for a day to state what should already be common knowledge: that patients must always be at the centre of our healthcare system.

We have seen far too many examples of what happens when this is not the case. (2/8)

Today marks World Patient Safety Day 2025: a day annually which aims to drive global action to enhance patient safety and raise awareness. 🧵 (1/8) #patientsafetyday2025
