Congratulations to all those involved in today's Guinness World Records attempt for the Largest Reading Lesson, the grand finale of In Our Words on World Book Day, at Fratton Park!

An amazing effort to encourage a lifelong love of reading for our city’s children.

Support staff are the rarely-heralded workforce that keeps schools going – teaching assistants, caterers, attendance advisers, technicians – all play a vital role in our city’s schools.

That’s why I wanted to bring together school support staff to discuss opportunities and challenges.

Was great to visit the Mary Rose Academy. Publishing the Schools White Paper and the consultation on SEND is not the end of the conversation for the Government.

That’s why I will continue to listen and engage with parents, children and schools to ensure every child succeeds and thrives.

So pleased Landport is being awarded £20 million for the community through the Government’s 10-year Pride in Place programme.

Today, Labour is freezing rail fares for the first time in 30 years.

Portsmouth people struggling with the cost of living will be able to feel the tangible impact of this decision to save millions of passengers real cash.

Labour has a vision for a country where every child can achieve and thrive.

Children with SEND deserve a system that lifts them up, and that puts no limit on what they can go on to achieve👇🏻

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone in Portsmouth and across the UK.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.

I’m ambitious for young people in Portsmouth, which is why I’m welcoming Labour’s action to slash red tape on apprenticeships.
