Today is the first day of Lent & iāve never observed this season (only on Good Friday). so Iāve decided to immerse myself & ultimately slow down my pace to quieten the noise that surrounds all of us. It will be a time of prayer, reflection and discovering God afresh. What will you be doing?

Since the general election, weāve hit the ground running on the NHS: ending doctorsā strikes, starting to cut waiting lists, investing in GPs, hospices⦠A lot done, a hell of a lot more to do. But as I look to 2025, I can see the road to recovery.

Watching Idris Elbaās docu on the knife crime crisis was heart wrenching. Past decades have shown that when determined, society can tackle and resolve challenging issues- knife crime should be no different. Redoubling efforts in early intervention &parental support is keyā¦

1 in 4 people a year in the UK experience a mental health problem. Suicide is the biggest killer of people under 35 and the biggest killer of men under the age of 50. We need a preventative community approach to spot & signpost people for support.

Really sad news about John Prescott, he was what we will call a political heavyweight. A true working class figure who took no nonsense. I canāt forget the 2001 election - the discovery of ātwo jabsāā¦this is when politics came alive for me....ārealā people doing extraordinary things!
