I’ll fight to make sure everyone shares in the success Greater Manchester is building - making sure there’s more money in people's pockets, pride in every town centre with a New High Streets Fund, a new generation of council and affordable homes and an expanded Bee Network that freezes fares and that works for all of us. 🐝 🌹

Deeply honoured to be appointed by the Prime Minister as Health & Social Care Secretary.
Huge thanks to @RachelReevesMP for my time as part of her fantastic team.
Can't wait to get started and continue @wesstreeting's brilliant work on such a critical mission for our country.

It’s now clear from the attacks on the police, the nature of the speeches from the main stage, and the comments and conduct of a significant proportion of the marchers yesterday’s rally was an extremist, Far-Right rally. There is no longer any ambiguity about that.

Piers Morgan: "Do you think the [GHF] is a force for good in Gaza?"
Me: "No, it is a force for evil. That is not a word I use lightly. But what we have seen is evil...people coming for food, starved by Israel & they are then shot at, killed. 100s of them. It is the most evil thing I have seen in recent years."

This was such a crass,
insensitive remark by Kemi Badenoch. It shows no sympathy or appreciation for care home staff who often get paid just £12 an hour. They work in very stressful conditions, with heavy lifting, doing tasks many residents' families don't want.

Improved pay & conditions is key to developing a first-class social care workforce, so the fair pay agreement in #KingSpeech is a welcome first step. But given the significant financial challenges facing local councils & care providers, any pay agreement must be funded nationally

"We went to Huddersfield, they scored four in 12 minutes, we lost 4-0 and went eight points back. They were going 'Well they're definitely dead now'.
"So we went on a mad run, beat Sunderland, stayed up and said 'What were you worried about?'"

But they're BOTH so OLD! Gandalf can barely remember his passwords and even forgot that people called him Gandalf (yikes), while Saruman betrayed the Free Peoples of middle-earth and led an insurrection that stormed Helm's Deep. You can see how they're equally bad choices.
