Loving this! Patients to benefit from cutting-edge NHS care from their homes! More patients will receive faster, more convenient care from the comfort of their own homes, through the rollout of new digital tech. It comes as NHS launches world-first trial to support motor neuron disease remotely!

The UK PM is at COP30 to show global leadership on the climate crisis. He gave a speech yesterday. He said tackling climate change is "an investment in future generations...but also, crucially an investment in improving the lives of working people – here and now." 1/4

Productivity in the UK is lower than it should be. So we're all lazy & need to work harder? Not at all! Here the Chancellor explains why (and why it matters to try and increase productivity), using a dodgy internet connect as an obvious example. 1/2

Natural England sets out new vision for nature and growth with its new strategy. The plan will focus on outcomes, not process and will aim to deliver outcomes in four areas: + Recovering Nature + Building Better Places + Improving Health and Wellbeing + Delivering Security through Nature

An independent review into the operations of Social Work England, led by Dame Annie Hudson, has been launched by the government. The review will assess how effectively Social Work England is fulfilling its mission, upholding standards, maintaining public confidence & protecting the public.

The Labour government have made a great offer to resident doctors on top of their 28.9% pay rise over 3yrs. + 2000 more training places, 1k this year + prioritising UK graduates & doctors already in the UK + funding exam & Royal College membership fees + expanding the relocation framework 1/3

This year, Labour increased the minimum wage for all workers at well above inflation. But they increased it even MORE for younger workers. They aim to get the rates the same for all ages. But Reform want the opposite - to reduce the minimum wage for younger people. Support Labour. Oppose Reform.

What does Ed think of these pictures? My favoruite response? "Send the frackers packing" www.instagram.com/reel/DQuCuay...

I think this speech needs sharing again. Since the PM said this, there have been Tories who have come out & said the same as Reform: that they want to see people with a legal right to be in the UK get deported. Call it out and stand up for these people - our friends, neighbours and key workers.

The UK PM has arrived in Brazil for the COP30 climate conference. At COP, the UK will be a global leader of climate action - championing the interests of working people by delivering energy security and protecting our children and grandchildren from climate change. 1/2

The Bank of England has held interest rates at 4% in their meeting today. It was a close vote: 5 members voted to hold while 4 voted to reduce to 3.75%. It suggests we might see a decrease at their next meeting on 18th Dec 2025. They have also stated they have judged inflation to have peaked.

Ed's got another video out! He explains: + why going to COP is important for working together with other countries. + what global progress has been made over the last 15yrs. + and importantly, he gives young people hope. Hope that better world & a better future can be achieved! Well done Ed!

So it gets worse for Michelle Mone and those connected with MedPro. Somehow a company set up to sell dodgy PPE to the UK government not only needs to pay back more than £120m for failed contacts... ...but it also has £188m in debts... ...including £39m in unpaid tax owed to the Treasury!

National forests This is just a brilliant, long term policy from Labour. Here the Environment Secretary explains a little more about the manifesto promise to create 3 new national forests. www.instagram.com/reel/DQr7Djl...

This post is abour our Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. And he's bloody great, isn't he?

Here are 5 amazing changes which Labour are introducing to the national curriculum following their review. The same review the Tories described as 'educational vandalism'. Do you agree with the Tory assessment? How would you respond to the Tories?

Oh wow! When I shared the clip of the PM taking time out from answering climate question from young people to tell us about COP30, I had no idea the young people didn't know the PM was going to be part of the session. Here is a clip from the wider discussion - look at the surprise on their faces!

So the Algerian, Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, wrongly released from prison: + is not an asylum seeker, as the Tories claimed in the Commons and asked the Deputy PM explicity about + entered the UK legally in 2019, under the Tories + overstayed his visa in 2020 & had his case creatd 6th Feb 2020 1/2

As I said this morning, the Railways Bill was being introduced today. It will establish GB Railways and make a number of other brilliant changes to our railways now that most are or are soon to be in public hands. The bill has now had it's 1st reading in the Commons You can read the 85 pages here:

The UK & others have been doing their bit to help people in Gaza. To those still screaming 'complicit in genocide': you know nothing. Stop these childish games. Here's the UK foreign secretary literally standing with the aid waiting to get in. Direct your anger at those still blocking the routes.

The Employment Rights Bill is back in the Commons this afternoon. It follows the Lords making amendements to the bill AGAIN, many of which water it down. Labour have been working to see compromises on more minor amendments (eg hertitage railways) but are standing firm on key measures. 1/2

800,000 jobs in the green economy in the UK. We know Labour's plans could create 400k more. So what impact would a Reform government have when their stated policy is to dismantle & destroy this entire sector? It would be an absolute catastrophic disaster for people, for communities, ... 1/2

Labour's curriculum review seems to have mostly gone down well on my posts on BlueSky & Threads. It's being introduced in to the Commons right now in a Ministerial Statement. The Lib Dems broadly welcome it, with a few queries. The Tories call it educational vandalism, which tells you everything!

I just had a bit of the truffle brie. So good. But you wouldn't want to eat much of it.

NHS Dentistry It's in a terrible state and I've not been able to register my family with a dentist since we moved house 3 years ago. So I was pleased to see my MP ask about it at PMQs today. The answer gives short summary of what Labour are doing to address the issue. 1/2

Seriously! WTF is going on in our prisons. Last Wesdnesday someone else was wrongly released, this time from Wandsworth prison. But they did NOT tell the Met Police until this Tuesday. Why did the prison take so long? Did they not know until then?

Labour have announced they will phased down harmful greenhouse gases (hydrofluorocarbons / HFCS) used in commercial & industrial refrigeration, and in air conditioning and heat pump more quickly. The consultation on the plans would see more ambition targets from 2027 & extend them to 2050. 1/2

I really wish @lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social would air the questions from other MPs rather than from the LOTO (or stand in). We learn so much more about what the government is doing from other MPs.

So James Cartlidge starts PMQs by asking David Lammy to apologise for something he had already apologised for. And then when that is pointed out to him double downs saying the Depty PM ought to have apologised. So going well then...

I forgot it was market day when I came into town for birthday shopping for my daughter. So that's some very expensive Brie de Meaux with truffle from the French cheese stall and some caramel cheesecake from the bakery stall. Some cheese straws and pain au Chocolat for the kids too!

Haha! Just had the pleasure of annoying an idiot driver! He was being an idiot, speeding & swerving around a cyclist. But then had to immediately break hard to stop at the pelican crossing I was at. Unsure if he was going to stop. I waited well into the beeping before crossing very slowly...

Joint Expeditionary Force launches enhanced partnership with Ukraine Euro-Atlantic security will be significantly strengthened in the High North and Baltic Sea as the UK and allies from across the region ramp up their military cooperation and agree an enhanced partnership with Ukraine.

Congratualtions to our Democratic friends in the United States for the successes in elections yesterday. It is welcome news. But do not sit back. Do not think this will continue. You are now back at zero You have to start the fight all over again for the next elections. Keep going. Keep fighting.

Curriculum and Assessment Review The review, by Professor Becky Francis has been published today. Some highlights for me: * primary school to teach how to spot fake news and identify misinformation & disinformation * secondary schools to work towards offering triple science as standard 1/5

Seemed natural to me - setting the scene ahead of the budget. Is it usually done? No idea. But as a member of the voting population, I welcomed it and the information she gave us and would like to see more of this sort of thing. 1/2

Ill health 1 in 5 working age adults are out of the workforce for health reasons while illnesses cost us all dearly each year. So the government is working with businesses - big & small - to prevent ill-health, support people to stay in work, & help build healthier, more resilient workplaces. 1/2

A warning. We are all familiar with the far right bots that constantly attack and criticise the Labour government. Often with no picture or bio, few posts expect some critical, strange names....or occasionally they have created a whole fake persona. 1/2

GB Railways is getting closer! While many train operators have already been taken into public ownership, GB Railways still needs to be legally set up. And the Railways Bill being introduced to Parliament today will do just that! It will also introduce fairer and simpler ticketing & fares. 1/3

National Forests Labour are delivering again - their manifesto promised the creation of 3 new national forests - the first for 30 years - supporting nature recovery. 1. The Western Forest was announced back in March 2. Today, a new forest in the Oxford-Cambridge corridor is announced 1/2

You all like to complain a lot about media coverage. I do too. But how many actually complain? It can and does make a difference. So I have a 3 links for you to remember so you can use regularly: 1. the link for complaints about TV and radio broadcasts www.ofcom.org.uk/make-a-compl...

Yes Ed! I can hear your passion and your enthusiam! I stand with you. As for Farage....doesn't he sound bored? Talking our country down, announcing damaging policies, scrapping jobs...and sounds like he doesn't even want to be there! (More like this Labour!) www.instagram.com/p/DQpQKJ8knVC/

Here is a short message the Chancellor wants you to take away from her speech today, rather than the nonsense put out by the media. "A budget that protects the NHS, reduces our debt and improves the cost of living. A budget that puts your priorities first. An economy that works for everyone."

The PM takes time out from answering questions in from young people to tell us about COP30 climate conference, starting in Brazil this week. And yes, despite media telling you he wasn't going to go, he is going - with determination, ambition and action to secure the future of our planet & the UK.
