Bumped into the Secretary of State for Health @wesstreeting so had a quick chat to thank him after he agreed to take forward my bill to protect the title of nurse in law. Grateful for the support and proud to stand up for our NHS and the nursing profession #ProtectNurse

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' ft.com/content/f5fd6f…

@BellaWallerstei @SteveReedMP @labourpress Average in what sense? Mean or median? The UK gov website says. "The average UK farm size is 82 hectares. However, almost half of all farms are less than 20 hectares in size." Or are there figures wrong? gov.uk/government/pub….

Our public services are broken.  The Government is asking rich estates and the most valuable farms to pay their fair share. Small family farms will not be affected. Only about 500 estates a year will pay more under the new scheme than they do today. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

Same people that cancelled big projects hiring thousands & working with loads of local businesses?? The ones who culled out thousands of workers from the public service…???

You’ll be surprised to know the PM was “not aware” The Prime Minister's office says it was not responsible for the email being withdrawn - the first Christopher Luxon had heard of it was when RNZ raised it with him at his post-Cabinet press conference. rnz.co.nz/news/political…

They think it’s Moldova - it is now.

Astonishing turnaround after such a year. Well done the @WHITE_FERNS

Horrifying scenes unfolding in Gaza, amidst conflict, relentless Israeli strikes & an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis. I condemn the continuing attacks on civilians. Hostages must be freed, displacement of Palestinians must cease, & civilians must be protected. My Statement👇

It's all so tiresome.
