Josh Fenton-Glynn MP

She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.

Indeed… party leaders also get them on the basis of MPs however Farage’s personality is such that he can’t have more MPs in his party than could comfortably fit in a London cab.

To ask questions in parliament MPs submit written questions to a ballot,
or stand up & sit down (bob) on a question asked by someone else. The written question is like a starter so ministers knows the subject. My success ratio in the ballot is 8 for 169. Totally logical system🙄

One of my proudest days as an MP. Today we have ended the presumption of contact which forced children to have contact with abusers - children’s safety must come first

We won’t reach net zero without doing more to use less energy. And that includes insulating our homes. Yesterday a national audit office report showed that 98% of homes insulated under the last government were faulty. I asked the minister if this government will do better!

Sometimes you need to run through the clouds to get to the blue sky. Lovely 10 mile morning run today.

I worry it shifts the debate if you let disinformation define it. But we do our best.

The Co-operative Party is pleased to support Labour and Co-operative MP Lucy Powell @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

Yes I think broadly that’s my view. I worry a bit that you spend a disproportionate amount of time being dragged onto the terrain of others by even putting out a counter claim.

Genuine question. How do we best respond to misinformation in a public roll?
Be it antivaxers, politically motivated bad faith reporting on the left or right, or people acting in bad faith on local forums.
Do we give it more power by engaging with it, how do we distinguish the ones to reply to?

Thank you to everyone who attended my surgery in Elland today. An important part of my job is helping people navigate systems that have failed them. I also work to make sure I take stories from my surgeries and casework to ministers to strengthen our laws and fix our systems.

Did you know that Calder Valley is referred to as valve valley. We have 20 companies that make, fix, or sell valves round Brighouse & Elland. But many have struggles around skills. I’ve written for the courier about the wave of apprenticeships industry needs. halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Tory party will be consigned to history like the Whigs before them!

Great to see @joshfg.bsky.social at #Lab25 to discuss how we can continue to make progress and improve cancer outcomes. Thanks for visiting our stand!

@joshfg.bsky.social thanks so much for visiting @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social stand at #Lab25 and supporting stroke. The UK's 1.4 million stroke survivors need as many parliamentary champions as possible👃

Poor oral health is linked to a "lifetime of problems".

Couldn’t agree more with Josh Fenton-Glynn MP’s analysis yesterday morning at a session tackling dentistry and the government’s wider commitment to prevention. @thebda.bsky.social @joshfg.bsky.social

Oh good lord

YouTube video by Joshua Fenton-Glynn Josh Fenton Glynn Questions Wes Streeting on doctors training in the 10 year plan

This week on the health and social care select committee we questioned Wes Streeting on the 10 year plan. Hear I am questioning him about future training routs for doctors and flexibility of medical training.

Drop an email to the address you get when you google me. We do hold surgeries including at weekends

Lord Darzi said that the NHS was in critical condition but the vital signs are good. Medical training is a brilliant example of this. COVID knocked our health services back, but it’s good to see the evidence is getting better.
Disclaimer - before being an MP I worked at the GMC

However there are still the specialties where unwanted sexual comments remain too high (surgery why is it always you?)
And a stubbornly high number of doctors don’t feel confident reporting discrimination

Those at high or moderate risk of burn out remains too high, but the number is thankfully dropping…

More doctors are accessing flexible working in their training, with almost 2/3 of newly qualified doctors being women it’s important training reflects a world where people have more complex lives.

Trainers are more likely to say they have time to devote to training - with that number increasing for the last few years and having gone up 4pp this year. Trainers also feel positive about the support they get from their local education team (but numbers are lower in for GPs)

The NHS has always been a good place to train but trainee doctors satisfaction in their training dropped during the pandemic and plateaued since. However across all questions on quality satisfaction is improving

Today the @gmcuk.bsky.social launch their national training survey. The surveys of 50,637 doctors in training and 21,289 trainers can be a canary in the coal mine to tell us the state of the NHS. Here is a thread of 6 charts and what they tell us about the state of the health services

One area that I have been working on since my election is campaigning to end the presumption of contact in family courts which gives abusers access to their children. Too frequently the voices of abusers are heard over the voices of children. I pushed the minister further on this today.

I was a signatory to the amendment that protected benefits for current recipients and gained commitments to coproduction of the new system from the despatch box. If you want MPs to negotiate on the basis of their vote don’t attack them for using that vote to support the improved package they got.

A simple slogan but not true. The point I was making!

Annoyingly that’s more frequently legal avoidance not none legal evasion. Not to say it can’t be tackled but the above is a good example as to how loopholes get created. We should close loopholes, but my broader point stands - more complex than a slogan.
