Rip off managing agents have been exploring local leaseholders and unadopted estates for too long ❌ That isn’t right, so we’re taking them on ✅ TBC v

Great to catch up with lads at Hitchin Boys about how their work to take on harmful gender stereotypes and be positive role models for their whole school community. Young men like this are showing what it means to 'be a man'. It was great to see 👏

We’re off to Liverpool for a series of events at Labour Party Conference. Our main event, ‘Will Burnham rebuild Labour’s coalition?’, is 3pm on Monday. With a fantastic panel, we’re sharing exclusive polling on Burnham’s first months, and what could win back Labour’s lost voters.

Delighted we’ve secured additional NHS funding to support the fantastic Garden House hospice 💙 With so many across our community depending on their dedicated care, I’ll always be a champion for investing in our hospices ✅

A real privilege to open day two of @edudetective.bsky.social’s Boys Impact conference. Education is failing far too many disadvantaged young men growing up in Britain today. But the inspiring practitioners brought together by Boys Impact show how we can do better.

Let’s get a move on with air-con grants 🆒 Despite Labour approving grants for air to air heating and cooling systems last year, 4 heatwaves later and they still aren’t available… Why? Because agencies haven’t approved an accreditation scheme 😐 It’s time to get it done👇

Thank you to everyone who joined a fantastic discussion at The Red Lion in Preston this evening 🍻 From revitalising local busses to how we deliver more affordable housing, it’s fair to say we covered plenty of ground!

Having spent many a glorious and grimy evening at gigs and playing at iconic local haunts like Bedford Esquires growing up, grassroots music venues have always been close to my heart. Delighted the Government is supporting them with at 20% business rates cut ✅

Thank you to everyone who came along to a great ‘Pint with your MP’ in Great Wymondley this evening 🍻 Lots done, lots to do, but always better for the chance to debate the issues that matter most to our community ✅

Boys from families living on low-incomes have been ‘left behind’ in early years policy making for decades. Great to join @instituteforgovernment.org.uk last month to talk about how we can put this right.
