I was so delighted to hear that this Labour government are investing £630,000 into the Lawrence Batley Theatre through the Creative Foundation Fund. The LBT is an incredible asset, and with this money, they will be refurbing the foyer & bar, and creating additional performance & community spaces.

It was fantastic to attend the annual Harold Wilson Lecture at Huddersfield Uni last night, and hear from Lord Blunkett. I loved hearing about Wilson’s life, & the legacy celebrated thru this lecture series. Thanks to Lord Blunkett for coming back to Huddersfield Uni to contribute to this event.

I welcome the strategy, particularly the work on the new measure of deep material poverty—that will be important for understanding the experience of children. For how long will the holiday food programme be extended, and how quickly will family hubs be rolled out?
