Big congrats Angeliki! I know you will do a great job. I will be there for you whenever you need me.🤞🏻💪🏻

I have today written to the Chair of Labour’s National Executive Committee seeking permission to enter the selection process for a candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election. Read my letter here.👇🏻

We are appalled by today's attack at a synagogue in Manchester and extend our fullest solidarity to the victims, to their families and to the Jewish community. The horror of antisemitism must be rooted out in all its forms, wherever it rears its ugly head.

@MetroMayorSteve and I have worked hard to bring new investors to the table to support the Liverpool-Manchester railway. @TiceRichard, assuming he’s already in office, tells them: “Don’t bother.” The entitlement and arrogance of it is off the scale.🤷🏻‍♂️

Delighted to have been asked by the Prime Minister to continue to serve as the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport @DCMS.

As we mark #VJDay80 today, I met @IWMNorth volunteer Ray Withnall to hear about POWs like Tom Boardman, whose bravery and ingenuity is inspiring. By sharing their stories, we honour their sacrifice and pass their legacy on to future generations.

What a stunning achievement by the @Lionesses. Huge congratulations to Sarina Wiegman and this unforgettable squad. You’ve inspired millions with your talent, courage and heart. #WEURO2025 ⚽

This week I brought together leaders from sport, youth work and charities to confront the growing isolation among young men. This wasn’t just a conversation, but a call to action for real partnerships on the ground between communities, services and the government.

Billy Boston is a true trailblazer who has contributed hugely to rugby league. It’s a historic wrong that a sport which is the backbone of many communities has waited so long to receive this honour. Boston is a legend of the game who overcame prejudice to represent Great Britain and opened the door to a more diverse game. He has left a truly enduring legacy. The first knighthood in rugby league could not go to a more deserving player.

It’s UK National Day at #Expo2025 in Osaka. Proud to host a dynamic celebration of British creativity, innovation, and culture — strengthening ties in business, trade and the arts.
