Great to welcome @steveracemp.bsky.social to our Global Health Drinks Reception here at #LabourConference. “So many countries and institutions want more of the UK at the table, not less.” Indeed. Which is why we call for #RepairNotRetreat.

Some great chats with residents in #Heavitree yesterday morning with my team. Thanks to everyone who took the time to talk - I’m out most weekends knocking on doors to hear what people think across #Exeter.

hi Marguerite - thanks a lot. Dentistry a very tricky nut to crack; the two interventions we’ve made so far are a roll-out of toothbrushing in primary schools, and 1000s more urgent dentistry appts in Devon. DHSC is at the moment working on contract reform to get dentists back into NHS dentistry.

There are some real dodgy bar charts going around in the fake newspapers in #Exeter at the moment. If you want to fight for a kinder, fairer Exeter - take a look at the actual real statistics, based on real elections that real people voted in, here in Exeter:

We’ve a lot more we need to do to fix the SEND crisis in Devon, but the government has written off 90% of the national £5bn debt that the Tory government left behind. For Devon that means £180m written off - allowing the Council certainty to move forward. www.exetertoday.co.uk/news/local-n...

Hi, Devon County Council get a line item for £1.8m for homelessness support from government, but choose to reallocate it because it’s not ringfenced. I think that’s something people might want to know.
