Steve Race MP 💙💛

@AMyers1977 @ExeterCouncil You could ask AI a different question

@steveracemp Don't get me wrong, this is brilliant news for Exeter, but forgive my scepticism when I see that @ExeterCouncil has a "Significant" say on what & how it's spent, & that the council & MP will decide who runs the "independent" board. I hope local voices don't get lost as per usual.

📣£20 MILLION FOR EXETER 📣 Exeter has been awarded a £20 million investment through our flagship Pride in Place programme. The money will be focused on Whipton and east Heavitree, to be spent on what matters most to local people – that means you get to decide how it’s spent!

Speaking at the UK-EU parliamentary partnership assembly. The Tories pulled us out of the #EuropeanUnion on the worst possible terms, inflicting deep economic harm. Now, we must rebuild our trade and relationships for the benefit of British people, including in #Exeter

Today I updated the House on the outbreak of meningococcal disease in Kent I confirmed we will begin a targeted vaccination programme for those living in halls of residence at the University of Kent, Canterbury Those with symptoms should call NHS 111 or in an emergency dial 999

The Green Party's anti-C-section policy is dangerous. It’s deeply irresponsible to continue advocating for this ideology and demonstrates just how little the Greens understand maternity care. Rather than judging women for how they give birth, this Labour government is focused on making maternity care safer for every mother and baby. 📰 Read the full article here: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Exclusive Rachel Reeves steps up criticism of Brexit as she calls for closer alignment with the Single Market “Brexit has not been good for our country, for growth, for prices in the shop. "It’s almost ten years since we voted Leave. That ship has sailed but there’s an awful lot we can do to improve our trading relations. Where that requires alignment in our national interest, we should absolutely align.” Reeves says she recently met a supermarket boss and the head of a major conglomerate and both argued that Brexit has caused significant damage. “These are two huge businesses saying it’s difficult for us and it pushes up prices and costs, but for small businesses it is really challenging.” Asked to choose between President Trump and Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, she does not hesitate. “Ursula von der Leyen,” she says. “I believe our future is closely intertwined with that of Europe.” She highlights the Erasmus student exchange programme — the UK will rejoin next year, but Reeves says it was lost to a “generation of our children” — and says she wants an “ambitious” youth mobility scheme which will enable young people from the EU to live and work in the UK and vice versa She refuses to say whether there will be a cap on numbers, describing it as a “live negotiation”, but insists it will not represent a “return to free movement” thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

My economic plan is the right one for Britain. 📉 Inflation falling faster than expected 💷 Borrowing forecast to be the lowest in 6 years 📈 Families £1,000+ a year better off after inflation Building a strong and secure economy and making working people better off.

After 20 years on the NHS frontline, I know how vital early cancer detection is. That’s why we’re making bowel cancer screening more accessible and rolling out NHS App alerts so you know when a test is coming. Another step from analogue to digital. Take a look 👇

Zack Polanski says Zack Polanski is problematic.

The UK is a global centre of expertise in nutrition, agriculture, and food systems - I was really proud to host some of our scientific institutions - including from @UniofExeter of course! - in Parliament to showcase their work.

Despite the busiest winter on record, NHS waiting lists have continued to fall with this Labour Government.

📉 Wait lists have fallen again by 43k in January - 374k in 18 months. 🚑 Fastest ambulance response in 5 years, down to less than 29 mins for heart attacks and stroke 🏥 A&E waits the shortest for four years despite a hugely demanding winter Lots done, lots more to do.

Today’s event in Parliament was fantastic. Scientists showcased their brilliant work combating food insecurity both nationally  & globally.   A huge thank you to @steveracemp for speaking and to everyone who attended.  @APPGNutrition  @ParlSciCom #BritishScienceWeek

For decades, women with severe period pain and heavy bleeding have been dismissed by doctors. But for millions, it’s conditions like endometriosis or fibroids going undiagnosed. We must start taking women’s pain seriously. My piece in @DailyMirror 👇🏾 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

There's much more to do but on #IWD we celebrate our successes! Read about just some of our amazing sisters: lwn.org.uk/graduates and then join LWN. LWN's training works 💪 In GE2024, 58% of the incredible 100 new Labour women MPs were grads of LWN training and workshops!

As a former Wing Commander, I can tell you, our brave RAF pilots are not just “hanging around” when they put their lives at risk to save others. The words you’re looking for @KemiBadenoch are ‘Thank you’ Serious times require serious politicians and you’ve just failed the test.

Britain is an open, tolerant and generous country. I will open new capped safe and legal routes to provide safety to those fleeing war and persecution.

For too many women, a broken bone is the moment they realise osteoporosis was already there undetected, untreated. New NHS scanners will help thousands of patients get tested sooner, start treatment earlier and prevent painful, life-changing breaks.
