I have legitimate concerns about crime in our country, I feel let down by various state failures, like almost all Brits. To conflate this with rioting thugs being violent to police and setting fire to our streets is total misdirection. Don't fall for it.

Enjoyed my Google Maps Timeline July Highlights- yes I have been at Big Ben a lot recently🤣

Been thinking of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, and their families, today. They deserve our enduring love and respect, and their memory should be honoured. Rest in peace.

Criminal violence and thuggery on our streets will not be tolerated. Police forces have my full support in ensuring that those who engage in criminal disorder face the strongest possible penalties.

There is never an excuse for violence and rioting. Be in no doubt: those responsible will face the full consequences of their actions. My thanks to all the police working so hard right now to keep us safe.

Congratulations to everyone receiving their results today in North East Derbyshire- you should feel incredibly proud of all your hard work! The mission of this government is to break down barriers to opportunity so that nothing can hold you back from achieving your potential!

Busy morning's work today getting my hands dirty- now absolutely covered in clay! Can you guess why?👀 Hint: it's a #Derbyshire tradition... #IYKYK

What really impresses me about Ruby is how hard she works and how determined she is to campaign for what she believes in. I can think of no better rep for young people!

Loved taking part in my first #welldressing here in #NorthEastDerbyshire! As you can see in the before picture, you can't be afraid to get your hands dirty but it does pay off with a beautiful picture so start as you mean to go on🤣 Big thanks to everyone who worked so hard!

Yet another devastating report highlighting the failures of the Tory ruling group at Derbyshire CC to manage SEND provision. I have vulnerable families on my caseload who are directly impacted and fear if something doesn't change there will be tragedy: derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-new…

Two months ago, I stood on the steps of Downing Street and promised you a government of public service. Today, I will set out the hard work we need to do in the months ahead to fix the foundations of our country. Watch my speech live here, from 10am.

This Labour government will drive high and rising standards and break down barriers to opportunity. But to feel the benefits, children need to be in school. Let’s make this new term the beginning of a new era for attendance. My piece for The Times and The Sunday Times ✍️ thetimes.com/article/0f802e…

This is very sad news and is a reminder of the very real risks our Armed Forces take every day on our behalf when conducting training. My thoughts are with the family and all those affected.

Couldn’t agree more with Matthew Taylor NHS Confederation. Unless we reform the NHS through three big shifts: - from hospital to community - from analogue to digital - from sickness to prevention we won’t turn around the Conservatives’ NHS crisis. From the The Observer 👇🏻
