While the government has announced it will scrap the roles of Police & Crime Commissioners, we can't forget that Simon Foster has been excellent.
He delivered where it mattered, from funding Operation Fearless to showing a real commitment to communities.
He has been a true champion.

A fantastic coffee morning in Stockland Green today.
Nothing is more important than listening to local residents and picking up on the issues that matter to them. One of the best parts of my job!
Looking forward to the next one.

Joined the Esme's Umbrella drop-in on Charles Bonnet Syndrome to learn about developments in diagnosis and treatment.
CBS affects up to a million people with sight loss, causing hallucinations that are often mistaken for mental illness, adding to their distress.

Cultural beliefs or personal reasons can often become barriers to exercise amongst older people.
At @commonshealth.bsky.social , I asked Prof Elizabeth Orton of @uniofnottingham.bsky.social about the opportunities for diverse communities.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social today, I asked @nihrhapru.bsky.social's Prof Cris Todd about exercise to prevent frailty in older people.
Exercises like tai chi and yoga were common ways to keep older people exercising, but these successful programs often disappear when the initial funding dries up.

During our @commonshealth.bsky.social enquiry on Food and Weight Management, I asked Nika Pajda from @biteback2030.bsky.social about how mobile apps fuel unhealthy eating amongst young people.
With junk food marketed straight to our phones, it’s never been easier to make unhealthy choices.

Today, I joined @mmhalliance.bsky.social in Parliament, where I heard directly from Black mothers.
Timely and effective support is transformative for maternal outcomes, yet Black mothers still face higher risks and systemic barriers to receiving appropriate care.
