Reminded this week of the audacity and optimism of the Apollo programme. Discussed it and why states getting just getting stuff done is so important here a few months ago:

This week I had the privilege of planting a stake in Parliament's Constituency Garden of Remembrance to commemorate the fallen of Chipping Barnet. We will never forget their sacrifice, commitment, and bravery – it is through their service that we enjoy the freedoms we hold dear today.

The constituency garden of remembrance in Parliament, which is on the front lawn. There are small, black plastic name cards with each constituency written on. Behind a few of the name cards are small wooden stakes with red poppies on and handwritten messages from MPs. The lawn is lush and green and a small border of wooden stakes with paper poppies stuck to every other stake surrounds the garden.

Very much enjoyed participating in this event hosted by @uclpolicylab.bsky.social at #Lab25 conference yesterday. Lots of interesting and thoughtful ideas from both panel and audience alike on how we can spread opportunity across the country - this govt is committed to making this happen!

Great to meet with residents at Osidge Library. These one-to-one surgeries are a vital part of the job. Do you have an issue or concern you want to report? Please get in touch and my team and I will figure out the best way to help you. 📧 dan.tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk 🌐 dantomlinson.org.uk

Wonderful to visit Oak Hill School and meet headteacher Kevin Grant to discuss their excellent work. I had the chance to meet some of the dedicated staff, and incredibly bright and engaged students. I’m really impressed by how they're teaching and nurturing their 50 pupils.

My first remarks to the House of Commons as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury. We're lifting the burden of the cost of living crisis, backing those who want to invest in the future of this country, and helping everyday families.

This week I was appointed Exchequer Secretary to HM Treasury - an honour I don't take lightly. This is a role that allows me to champion Chipping Barnet at the highest levels of government whilst continuing to fight for better living standards and opportunities for everyone, in every part of the UK.

Really enjoyed my chat with the Barnet Post reflecting on my first year as your MP. Proud of what we've achieved together - from getting schools in our borough to go smartphone-free this September to increasing police presence in Barnet. barnetpost.co.uk/2025/08/28/l...

Books are back at High Barnet station! Thanks to everyone who got in touch with me and Anne Clarke AM about this - it's great to see the bookshelf safely reinstated. Next time you're passing through the station, do bring a book to share with your neighbours!

International human rights laws, and the ECHR, will be subject to change over the coming years. The question now is: who will lead this change? My article for @thetimes.com, with @dantomlinson.bsky.social, on the need for progressives to shape reform of the ECHR.👇 www.thetimes.com/article/becb...

Reform of ECHR vital to allow Britain to deport more foreign criminals

Ripping up the convention would be disastrous for the European effort against Russia. Instead, we must lead the change

Residents using Mill Hill East station deserve better. The delays, no shows, and huge gaps in services during peak times are unacceptable, and I have been supporting residents who have gathered this data. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

Glad to be on Newsnight last night - made sure to mention our fantastic Chipping Barnet constituency! Growing the economy is the only way we can raise living standards in Barnet and across the UK, and make us all better off. Watch the episode in full: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

What a privilege to celebrate the Barnet Environment Centre's 50th anniversary. Had a fantastic time speaking at their birthday party and touring the nature reserve. Amazing to think over 2,500 children visited last year - a wonderful place for young people in Barnet to connect with nature!

On VE Day, we think of all those in Barnet who served our country in WW2. People like Ruth Bourne, 98, from High Barnet. Ruth worked at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, in an all-female secret team pulled together by the British government, where the codebreakers intercepted Nazi messages.

Let me tell you the story of the most visible example of economic and political failure in modern Britain. Leeds is the largest city in western Europe without a mass transit system, and we are all poorer because of it. How did we get here? Why does it matter? And what can be done?

The use of smartphones by schoolchildren is an unnecessary distraction from education and a huge risk to their mental health and wellbeing. I’m proud to have played a leading part in the pioneering effort to make Barnet schools smartphone-free from September this year!

The housing injustice is arguably the biggest inequality facing Britain today, and for decades, we haven’t confronted it head-on. I’m proud to stand with a government that has pledged the biggest social housing building programme in a generation. (1/2)

Doing, not delaying. Building, not blocking. Great news this week from the Chancellor.

A graphic split into two. The top half of the graphic mimics a newspaper cutting which reads "Labour's plan for change pledged to fast-track planning decisions to get Britain building again". Behind the clipping is a black and white image of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister at a building site.
On the bottom half is a similar paper effect, with a headline which reads "Labour approves 13 major projects to spur economic growth". Behind the text is a full-colour image of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister on top of a structure supported by scaffolding, as if mid build.

Totally ridiculous set of criticisms being flung around about the long-term nature of an investment-led approach to growth. Here's 5 quick reasons why these bad-faith takes should be ignored. 1. Certainty about investment in the future means more investment today.
