Deeply honoured to be appointed by the Prime Minister as Health & Social Care Secretary. Huge thanks to @RachelReevesMP for my time as part of her fantastic team. Can't wait to get started and continue @wesstreeting's brilliant work on such a critical mission for our country.

Today’s strong growth figures show the Government has the right economic plan. The choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran. Now is not the time to put our economic stability at risk.

These election results are tough. The country faces tough challenges too that we were elected to take on. The PM has said more needs to change and we need to offer people more hope. The right thing is not for us to turn inward, but to get on with what we were elected to do.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.

Britain is a land that belongs to all of us. We must take a collective stand against antisemitism.

Today marks the biggest shake-up of renters’ rights in a generation. The Renters’ Rights Act: ✅ends Section 21 evictions ✅limits rent rises to once a year ✅bans bidding wars ✅and stops discrimination against families, benefit claimants and pet owners.

These growth figures show the Government has the right plan to build a stronger more resilient economy. But the war in Iran will come at a cost. That is why we are taking the right, fair and necessary action to protect families and businesses.
Office for National Statistics (ONS)@ONS

GDP grew 0.5% in the three months to February 2026. Services (+0.5%) and production (+1.2%) both increased, but construction (-2.0%) fell. Read the article ➡️ ons.gov.uk/economy/grossd…

Our priority is de-escalation. Global conflict drives up energy costs and hits the most vulnerable hardest. In Washington, the Chancellor is working with partners to push for stability, a sustained ceasefire and safe energy routes - while acting at home to keep bills down.

I’ve long believed in the power of procurement. It can strengthen Britain's critical industrial resilience as part of what I call 'securonomics'. And applying a new 'public interest test' for contracting decisions will strengthen our public services. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

In Berlin this week, I met global investors and spoke at the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit.   I first came here as a teenager on an exchange — so it’s always good to be back.   My message was that we are moving UK from plans to delivery, and open for long‑term investment.

What does “getting infrastructure delivered” actually look like? @IrishRail's new DART+ trains show how much delivery depends on starting well - with clear plans, a steady pipeline and the right skills. That’s how we’ll get results from projects back home in the UK.

Lovely to have managed a morning run in the Northern Ireland sunshine. Looking forward to discussing growth with the finance ministers from the Welsh, Scottish & Northern Irish governments in Belfast this morning.
