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! 🏉

Great to be out in Yeadon again this afternoon for #NationalCampaignWeekend, hearing about housing and buses. Talking to people F2F is such a brilliant tonic. And I enjoyed meeting some lovely cats 🐈‍⬛ The weather held out so there was no need for the trusty Labour brolly this week ☂️

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.

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 🌹

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: £1trn UK debt 2024: £2.8178trn

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. www.thetimes.com/article/ac0c...

Here's what delivering change means in concrete terms - a richer, safer, cleaner country. But we need to deliver it for another reason. To show that fatalism is misplaced, that mainstream politics and government can make a difference, and that tomorrow can be better than today
