I am absolutely honoured to become ambassador for @leedswomensaid.bsky.social

Nik and her team are an absolute inspiration and I’m looking forward to learning more from them; championing and supporting them, on our mission to halve violence against women and girls

Some elements of this job are joyful.

Meeting people like Liz, who have the vision, passion and just GSD.

Today she and her team made girls rugby in Otley a reality, for the first game. It was a privilege to be there and to see and feel what they have created.

Here’s to many more games! πŸ‰

Great to be out in Yeadon again this afternoon for

Yesterday I spoke in the house around the smart phone free bill introduced by the brilliant Josh MacAllister. Proud to work with him & colleagues.

It was an important step and there was good cross party agreement.

Looking forward hearing more from the Professor Whitty and taking further action.

The Sunday Times just called it β€œthe most important document you’ll never read,” but today’s Carbon Budget is a big deal.

I've recorded a video on what it is and what it means.

Labour promised 2 million extra appointments within a year of the election.

NHS England statistics released today show we delivered on that promise in just 5 months.

Fixing our public services after the state the Tories left them in will take time, but this is the change the country voted for 🌹

Government to spend extra Β£200mn on flood defences in England Environment secretary Steve Reed tells FT previous Tory administration committed a β€˜dereliction of duty’

The first duty of any government is to protect its citizens.

The Tories failed to maintain our flood defences putting lives and livelihoods at risk.

Labour is investing a record Β£2.65bn to upgrade and build defences to protect communities.

Today I signed the Book of Commitment provided by @het.org.uk and lit a candle this evening with the Holocaust Rememberance Trust.

We must never forget the Holocaust or the victims. Never Again must always mean, Never Again.

Since announcing my diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer a few weeks ago I’ve become increasingly aware of how misunderstood the condition is.

So I want to debunk a few misconceptions:

Kemi Badenoch mentioned how much the UK's debt interest is costing us. She's right, it's becoming crippling. And a very substantial portion of that debt was added to the UK government's balance sheet during the Conservatives' period in office.

UK debt 2010: Β£1trn
UK debt 2024: Β£2.8178trn

Successive governments have failed on social care. It’s not a shortage of good ideas that’s the problem, but a shortage of good politics.

Today that changes with Louise Casey.

Wes Streeting: I’ve put our broken NHS on the road to recovery As health secretary I’ve ruffled some feathers this year, but I don’t intend to make excuses. By July, you’ll be able to see whether we kept our promises

Since the general election, we’ve hit the ground running on the NHS: ending doctors’ strikes, starting to cut waiting lists, investing in GPs, hospices…

A lot done, a hell of a lot more to do. But as I look to 2025, I can see the road to recovery.
