A few images from my final day at UK House of Commons which began with breakfast in the members’ tea room and finished in the Chamber I adore where in the last hour I delivered my short valedictory speech.

You can watch that via SBTV at: youtu.be/Rmb5DeAlH3M?si…

And so we face …

With the legend that is Phil Hornby from ITV News Meridian on the media terrace in Westminster! Catch our chat on ITV1 in our area just after 18:00 tonight.

Turns out Steve Brine MP believes prevention truly is the new cure in one of his final contributions to the House of Commons this morning.

Someone should do a podcast on that...

Genuinely one of the most amazing moving moments of the last decade + in the House

We can’t wait to welcome our colleague back today. Best wishes Craig

This lunchtime, as the Infected Blood Inquiry reports, I spoke to BBC Radio 4 as chair of Health and Social Care Committee with my initial reaction and reflections on the massive state failure represented here.

Fantastic to speak at the sod cutting for the new ‘elective hub’ at RHCH today. Will transform orthopaedic waits for us + wider area.

Rumours of the demise of our hospital are greatly exaggerated!

1000’s needing hip + knee replacements will benefit

Sorry but not surprised to hear of this news. Rob Humby is a thoroughly decent man and I wish him all the best for the future.

Have spoken in the House about this before. It’s the right thing to do.

The #BirthTraumaInquiry report by the cross party All Party Parliamentary Group is published today and calls on the Government to listen to mums & end the postcode lottery in maternity services. Our headline recommendations to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak:

Bizarre to see Israel booed this evening (edited out of TV version) by an audience many of whose members would be imprisoned (or worse) if they lived in any other MidEast country (1/2)

Hugely important piece of work from our Culture, Media and Sport Committee committee

So special to meet Claire and Sophie from CoppaFeel! today. Obviously a very sad week but we’ve so much to do and the legacy is to continue the work.

We are live now. Hearing first from AstraZenicaUK and Daiichi Sankyo UK now. Breast Cancer Now and NICE to follow … [SB]

Absolutely gutted to hear this today. Kris was a lovely lady who saved countless lives through CoppaFeel! Back in 2014 I brought her to Winchester and she spoke to assemblies at all three secondary schools about boob health. You could have heard a pin drop. RIP Kris
