Today, on Ukrainian Defenders Day, we honour all those who have given their lives defending Ukraine since Russia's invasion. Their courage and sacrifice will not be forgotten. The UK stands with Ukraine, today and always. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

That's right, we're repealing Thatcher's ban on public ownership of water💧 Water companies have put sewage in our waterways, overcharged bill-payers, and left infrastructure damaged. Privatisation has meant that for too long, greedy companies have been our only option. It's time that changes.

Hello from Conference!👋 I've recently launched a campaign to convince Derbyshire County Council to place more safety measures on the A632. I need as many of you as possible to help me push them for change, get involved here: www.louisesandherjones.co.uk/campaigns/ma...

This Government is introducing Vocational GCSEs!✏️ These will sit alongside traditional GCSEs, making sure technical skills are valued in the same way as academic skills. Every pupil is different, which is why it is time to move away from the current one size fits all approach.

Currently, there is no legal right to bereavement leave for pregnancy loss before 24 weeks despite 1 in 5 women in the UK experiencing a miscarriage in their lifetime. In their darkest moments, women and their partners had to fight for leave or were simply left without space to grieve.

This lovely card arrived at my office today from the Centenary Action Group. It's so important to remember how hard so many women fought so that my women colleagues and I could be where we are today. I’m incredibly grateful to them for the rights and opportunities we have now.

Recently, I saw a screening of the National Emergency Briefing in Dronfield🎥 Climate change is the greatest threat of our lifetime, and the decisions that we make will impact the generations that follow. It's a responsibility that I do not take lightly, which is why I will keep pushing for action.

Today I just wanted to share a quick message on the recent discussion about the homophobia faced by my colleague Wes Streeting following his appointment to the MoD. Not only is this deeply disappointing but it simply bears no reflection on the reality of our incredible and diverse Armed Forces.

I see the geniuses at Reform have hit upon reheating Tory ideas from 2022 to tackle small boat crossings. Well, that idea failed then as I think we all can see and it'll fail again.

Very sorry to learn that Kevin Keegan has passed away. As a player, manager, and person, he was an icon and an inspiration. His passion for the game left an enduring mark on football. I hope the love that so many held for Kevin will bring comfort to his family and loved ones at this difficult time.

I have long thought it a national shame that in one of the richest countries in earth that we have people forced to sleep rough. I felt this particularly keenly as Minister for Veterans. The numbers of veterans forced to sleep rough is thankfully low but even one is too many.

I was honoured to visit Kyiv last week, where I met Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defence Mstyslav Banik and paid my respects to the fallen at the Wall of Remembrance. Their sacrifice is a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience and determination the Ukrainian people continue to show every day.

Great discussion with Yemeni Vice President Al-Alimi Bawazir on UK/Yemeni security interests. I reaffirmed our support for Yemen’s sovereignty, and our solidarity with Yemen and Saudi Arabia in the face of Houthi attacks. We urge renewed efforts towards a lasting political settlement for Yemen.

Like many, I was horrified to see the dreadful effects of the devastating earthquake in Venezuela. Today, I'm so pleased that the RAF is supporting the UK's humanitarian response by transporting specialist search and rescue teams and vital equipment to assist life-saving efforts on the ground.

You couldn’t make this up. The Greens had to return a donation to Polanski - their own leader - because he wasn’t a permissible donor. And it took them more than six months to do so. Comes on top of not paying his council tax for years and not even voting last month. Utterly unserious.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Kemi not missing an opportunity to show her real colours as someone without any kind of grace. The Speaker is right: we must lead by example and show our constituents we are serious and not playground bullies. I doubt she'll listen!
