👏 Labour peer Estelle Morris for engaging👇 Much to do in children’s social care. Never had a Cass style investigation, much needed since Meade & Pitt court cases. Our own case went to Local Gov Ombudsman who equated safeguarding with parking fines!🤦‍♀️ policyexchange.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

We’ve introduced free breakfast clubs for the first 750 schools across the country. Part of our Plan for Change to give children the best start in life and help parents out on those busy school mornings.

Great to be at Navantia UK's yard in Methil today with Ian Murray MP to mark the official start of construction of an £8m barge to support Royal Navy ship building. This is the UK Government's defence dividend in action - putting Methil industry back in business

The first series of Educating Yorkshire had a profound affect on me, like many. My dear friend was the Editor and I also learned about the process of making such insightful yet touching television. Now it’s back and Mr Burton is the Head. I cannot wait! thetimes.com/article/719046…

Can’t really express how gutted I am not to be with the travelling fans, my “football husband’s” and actual stepson here tonight! Never like to miss a match 😞 and I hope we put out some surprises in the team 💙 🤍

A brilliant night for Brighton & Hove Albion! #EFL | #CarabaoCup

A lot of exciting talent on display tonight. Don’t let this Jason Steele masterclass go unnoticed though. #BHAFC

Good morning, Albion fans! 😁💙

I left a few words at the bottom of my piece last night for Jason Steele. Unsung ❌ Hero ✅

Socialist and feminist Labour MP Jo Richardson was born in Newcastle upon Tyne #OTD in 1923. She was the MP for Barking from 1974 until her death 20 years later, and was (eventually) a member of Neil Kinnock's Shadow Cabinet as the first Shadow Minister for Women.

Why sneering at R Y L A N over his comments on immigration is wrong. Why perception matters and uncomfortable dialogue is a must to build trust, community and safer organisations. linkedin.com/posts/rachel-c…

Beautiful obituary by ⁦Julie Bindel⁩ in memory of Ann. Ann was such a generous warm soul, such wit & humour, & razor sharp. She once spent hours interviewing me for a story proposal & wow - searingly talented in how she did it. Honour to have known her. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

Worth reading the full list 👇 lots done, more to do. 🌹 Often things get lost in the noise. My action from this list is to download the HM Revenue & Customs app - hoping it will solve the enquiry that so far the helpline hasn’t 🤞

The Thursday Murder Club is utterly glorious British cosy television. Cast is sublime especially Helen Mirren. This is *exactly* where I would love to retire to, this centre is the perfect place to live in my older age. Hurrah for Richard Osman books and this adaptation 🥰

“I also think there’s a duty of curiosity in leadership and in governing to try to improve the state.” Brilliant interview with ⁦Pat McFadden⁩ well worth a read. 🌹 thetimes.com/article/f790cb…
