Great to get going as Economic Secretary to the Treasury. Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the Chair of the Securities & Exchange Commission, Chair Atkins, to discuss how 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇧 can further collaborate on financial services to help drive economic growth.

Our status as a host venue for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 🏉 is allowing Northampton the chance to prove ourselves on the world stage - and our town has more than risen to the occasion… My latest column in the Chron⬇️ #WRWC2025 www.northamptonchron.co.uk/your-world/w...

Delighted to be appointed Economic Secretary to HM Treasury, & to be working alongside Chancellor Rachel Reeves & our excellent Treasury team. It’s never been so important that we harness the might of our financial services sector, & drive investment & growth right across the country 🇬🇧

Wholeheartedly recommend the exhibition Scrum at Northampton Museum, celebrating the history & growth of the women’s game & #Northampton’s role as a host venue for the #WRWC2025 🏉

The Advocate General for Scotland & I just wrapped up a fantastic day here in Belfast with a great discussion with Attorney General of Ireland Rossa Fanning. Very good to discuss 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 relations & shared legal challenges.

Very good to meet with Lady Chief Justice for Northern Ireland, Dame Siobahn Keegan, at the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast this morning, ahead of the ceremony to mark the Opening of the Year later on today ⚖️

In Northampton North, you backed change. This Labour Government is delivering it - and there’s more to come. Much more. ⬇️

⬇️ Actively campaigning against our national interest ⬇️ Willing the UK to fail ⬇️ All grievances & ZERO answers Ahead of Reform’s party conference, @UKLabour has put together Reform’s manifesto👇 reformmanifesto.co.uk

🇬🇧🤝🇸🇬 Very good to meet with the Attorney General for Singapore, Lucien Wong, in Parliament today. We discussed the shared work of our two countries in tackling economic crime & the importance of legal services to economic growth.

From today, hundreds of thousands of families across the country will be accessing 30 hours of Government-funded childcare. Putting an average of £7,500 a year back in the pockets of working families. Helping children thrive. Exactly what a Labour Government is about.

Bit of back to school baking 🍰

Fan Zone on the Market Square looking good! Not just an opportunity to watch the rugby on the big screen - you can also take part in plenty of rugby-related activities, get your face painted, have a drink & learn more about growing grass roots sport 🏉 #WRWC2025

Incredible to be at the home of @northamptonsaints.bsky.social today to see @redrosesrugby.bsky.social’s record World Cup win 🔥 And so fantastic to see the #WRWC2025 spirit truly taking over #Northampton 🏉 🙌

🧐 Well it’s fast becoming clear why Reform don’t like freedom of speech & a free press…

So good to see this. One of the many benefits of #Northampton being a host venue for the #womensrugbyworldcup2025 🏉🏟️ ⬇️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bulldozing children’s football pitches & providing residents with no access routes? Really disappointing to see this from Reform on West Northants Council. Total disregard for Kings Heath residents ⬇️ www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/politic...

Roll on Saturday…! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🏉 #womensrugbyworldcup #RWC2025 #WRWC2025

It’s vital that victims & the public see justice being done. I spoke to @ecourea.bsky.social about this Government’s commitment to restore confidence in our criminal justice system, the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme & Reform’s weakness on law & order ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Ministers vow to give sexual violence victims ‘the justice they deserve’
