Thanks to Sir Edward Leigh for screening #GazaDoctorsUnderAttack in Parliament.
This gave MPs a critical opportunity to hear directly from doctors, and the film’s director and producer about the horrendous attacks medics face in Gaza.
It’s essential that these voices are heard on our TV screens.

As a surgeon, I know how important it is to change how the NHS delivers care, including improving access closer to home.
On Friday, I visited Thurrock CDC for its official opening, with the site able to deliver 75,000 extra tests, checks and scans a year. @MSEhospitals

Sorry? The only person tone deaf here is Cole
This isn’t political reporting, it’s just a calous slur
It may come as a surprise to Cole but the British public can see the horror in Manchester and the horror in Gaza and still see the humane path through both of them
Hamish is one of the best of us

Great visit to St Paul’s High School for their Pupils' Parliament election!
I had the chance to chat with and be interviewed by some of the students. Later, we joined a meeting with teachers to discuss exciting future plans for our 'Classroom to Careers' project.

When I first met the Palestinian Ambassador in November 2023, Statehood was a pipe dream.
Last week I could look him in the eye and say UK Labour MPs in a UK Labour Government made it happen.

Yesterday, I was delighted to give school leavers in my constituency a chance to speak with key employers across several different industries, to give them an opportunity to learn what roles are available for them after school.
Many thanks to everyone who participated and who attended.

On this #WorldSuicidePrevention I will be speaking from the Dispatch Box as a Health Minister in DHSC to discuss with MP colleagues the importance of suicide prevention. We must encourage open conversations to break the stigma and prevent people from suffering alone.

No serious government can continue to function with the level of contempt the SNP has for our defence and shipbuilding sector. I welcomed the £10bn of Norwegian govt investment and 2000 jobs the UK Labour govt secured meaning shipbuilding will grace the Clyde in Govan for years to come.

Far too many small firms are being held back by large companies that delay payments, threatening jobs, cashflow, and growth.
We are introducing the toughest late payment laws in the G7, ensuring that big businesses are held accountable.
