Some elements of this job are joyful.
Meeting people like Liz, who have the vision, passion and just GSD.
Today she and her team made girls rugby in Otley a reality, for the first game. It was a privilege to be there and to see and feel what they have created.
Here’s to many more games! 🏉

Yesterday I spoke in the house around the smart phone free bill introduced by the brilliant Josh MacAllister. Proud to work with him & colleagues.
It was an important step and there was good cross party agreement.
Looking forward hearing more from the Professor Whitty and taking further action.
