I was proud to drop into Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal Parliament Event this week to support their vital work in providing crucial nursing care and support for people living with terminal illnesses. (1/2)

From the landmark National Cancer Plan, to the crucial Men’s Mental Health Strategy and HIV Action Plan, as well as campaigns to clamp down on junk food adverts, Ashley is a testament to this Labour Government.
I pay tribute to my predecessor Ashley Dalton MP and her incredible work, delivered most inspiringly while also battling her own health issues.
Having spent 4 years in opposition shadowing this role, as well as having led on several public health campaigns as a backbench MP since, I am deeply passionate about delivering on this important brief for the government.
I am honoured to have been appointed as the Minister for Public Health and Prevention in the Department of Health and Social Care. 🌹🩺
The Government has today launched a landmark consultation on UK children's digital wellbeing, covering social media age bans, curfews, AI chatbots and gaming.

I am proud to be a member of the APPG on Commercial Sexual Exploitation and will continue to support their fantastic work to put victim/survivors first and end this facilitation of abuse once and for all.
We now have the evidence, the government must now act. (2/3)
Yesterday the Independent Anti Slavery Commissioner published its report on Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking through Adult Service Websites (ASWs).
Its findings confirm what we already thought was the case: these websites are active enablers of exploitation and must be outlawed. (1/3)

I am proud that this Labour government have announced that tech companies will have 48 hours to remove non-consensual images from when they are first reported. This is the action needed to match our mission to halve violence against women and girls within a decade. (2/3)
Violence against women and girls is an abhorrent stain on our society. The action we take against it, therefore, is nothing short of a moral mission. 🧵: (1/3)

Image shows part of the front page of the ‘A University of the Air’ White Paper, published in February 1966.
60 years ago, the ‘University of the Air’ White Paper set out a radical vision that still drives us today: your background or location should never be a barrier to education.
That became the @openuniversity.bsky.social, proving that great education truly can reach anyone, anywhere.
We're fixing the front door of the NHS.
More GPs. Same-day urgent appointments. Backed by an extra £485 million for GP practices.
Through investment and modernisation, we are rebuilding our NHS.
For too long too many children haven’t had the support they need to succeed.
That must change.
Labour will transform our schools system so every child can achieve and thrive.

At the OSCE PA conference in Vienna, I was proud to reiterate the UK’s support for Ukraine.
I also highlighted the OSCE’s efforts to return the stolen Ukrainian children and free the three OSCE officials wrongly imprisoned in Russia.
Here's a roundup of some of my recent work in Parliament and across the constituency 🌹
📱 Closing a loophole in the Online Safety Act to crack down on vile content created by AI chatbots
💻 New powers so that Governments can act within months rather than years as technology evolves.
👧 A consultation on children’s digital wellbeing - launching next month - to guide our next steps

Today, I told the government that the time for thinking is over. Thousands of women and children need justice and we aren’t going anywhere ✊🏻 (2/2)
Saturday marks two years since the publication of the Hughes report which called for compensation for those harmed by the mesh and valproate scandals.
Two long years have passed with no official government response. 🧵(1/2)
This week I visited Central Park Primary School in East Ham, showcasing some of our country’s very best school food, supported by Juniper Ventures and Newham Borough Council’s trailblazing ‘Eat for Free’ initiative, which has been providing universal free school meals since 2009.
Yesterday I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap and invest in our country’s future. The previous Government left us with a record number of children in poverty.
The actions of this Labour Government will take 450,000 children out of poverty and radically improve their health and education.🌹
and to prevent others from going through what they have.
They will always have my support and I will continue to follow the campaign closely. (3/3)
In so many cases if this was available, including in Ellie’s husband Owain’s, this could have saved lives. It was so inspiring to hear from Ellie and others with lived experience who have decided to use their traumatic experiences as motivation to change things for the better… (2/3)
