Labour is being way too cautious on the reset with the EU but this kind of put down to the relentlessly adolescent EU-phobic rightwing is very welcome.

Good session in Woolston talking to residents. In particular, a formerly Tory voting veteran mentioned how much he appreciated Keir Starmer’s leadership on Ukraine.

The remains of Wolverton Park, former home of Wolverton AFC and one of Milton Keynes City's many incarnations.
All that's left is the outline of the pitch and a crude replica of what was one of football's oldest covered shelters.

Thank you to Ipswich MP @jackabbott.bsky.social for his visit today to see the services that @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social delivers to our local community and to hear directly from our Medical Director to learn more about specialist palliative and end of life care. @hospiceuk.bsky.social
I warmly welcome the Government's £500,000 funding boost for our local hospices.
This will make a real difference, allowing @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices to improve facilities and continue delivering outstanding care in Ipswich and Suffolk.

Labour's new breakfast clubs will be transformational, boosting educational outcomes and life chances for children, and easing the cost of living for parents.

Regardless of views on domestic policy, at a time that the US president is so unpredictable and unreliable Starmer will have to use all his experience as the UK’s top prosecutor to maintain any form of working relationship. I think he’s better placed than the last few PMs but it’ll be hard.

False-patriot Reform MPs are incapable of standing up for British values
Reform MPs reject British values and spew Kremlin propaganda. The British people will see through their dangerous rhetoric.

Combined with the important work being undertaken at the University of Suffolk Dental CIC, I hope we will soon be able to put an end to our county’s dental desert.
