Pay day is coming.

Our second National Insurance cut hits payslips next week.

It's worth £900 to someone earning the UK average salary.

The latest stats show there now record numbers of doctors and nurses in England’s NHS.

I also want to see improvements to their working lives so they can focus on caring for their patients.

Hamas must send the hostages home and bring to an end the horrific ordeal of those currently being held and their loved ones.

Having worked in international business for 30 years, I know just how important it is to bring education and business together.

Great to speak with BCC about how we're transforming our skills system to spread opportunities to people across England.

What's Labour response when you say they should have a plan for childcare?

'It's not our job'.

The Conservatives are the only party with a plan to support families with the cost of childcare.

Labour have sniped about our childcare expansion for months, saying it wouldn't work.

We've now delivered the first stage of it, with 200,000 benefitting from 15 hrs a week childcare for their 2-yr-olds.

And Labour are once again exposed as having no plan, no policy and no idea

95% of schools in Finchley and Golders Green are rated good or outstanding - including Whitefield School where I visited yesterday.

200 days ago, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

200 days on, hostages remain in captivity, and their loved ones continue to face unimaginable suffering.

Chag Pesach Sameach.

My message to Jewish communities here in the UK and around the world this Passover.

Busy week. Showing Gillian Keegan MP the amazing work of local childcare providers. Climate hustings in Camborne. Huge Action Day speaking to the whole of Connor Downs and Reawla. Thanks to the team.

Children flourish in wonderful early years settings like Madresfield. So pleased to hear of the big take-up of new free places across the country.

We are revolutionising our apprenticeships system. Expanding them to nearly 70% of occupations. Fantastic to meet some apprentices at East Riding College with Graham Stuart MP today, working across industries all the way from Engineering and Hospitality to Accountancy and Early Years.
