Good to sit down with Minister Bailey to discuss the impact of excessive screen time on young people’s eye health. This has been and under researched and underreported element of the social media debate - I look forward to working with the Govt to address this.

More than a third of people with a disability or health condition say they want to work but are held back by a fear of losing their benefits. That’s why the Labour Government is removing that fear with the ‘right to try’ for sick and disabled people. (1/2)

There has been an appalling attack on two Jewish Londoners in Golders Green. The police have made an arrest and I’d like to thank all the emergency services and heroic volunteers from Hatzola and Shomrim in the area for their swift response to this horrific incident.
