A £30m government investment to tackle crime on our high streets is hugely welcome. Erdington’s Operation Fearless showed that when we invest and work together, we can tackle these challenges and make a difference. I’ll keep pushing to make our high streets safer for everyone.

At the Health and Social Care Committee, we heard from Institute for Government's Stuart Hoddinott on the reorganisation of ICBs as part of the NHS transition. The process appears chaotic, with serious uncertainty around future responsibilities, including SEND.

Joined Mondelēz International reception in Parliament celebrating innovation, heritage and impact. Proud that Cadbury, founded in Birmingham by John Cadbury in 1824, remains part of a proud manufacturing legacy that continues to produce chocolate and snacks enjoyed across the world.

The mystery of £5m from a crypto billionaire, £1.5m from reality TV and a £1.4m Surrey mansion. Just declare it, Nigel! Clacton deserves an MP who shows up. At least I’ve lived in my constituency for nearly 40 years, I don’t make millions, but I always make time.

Great to join @hsj.co.uk's panel this morning on making prevention & equity real in our neighbourhoods. The Govt’s neighbourhood NHS shift is care at the heart of every community. This means empowering local teams, integrating assets, and embedding prevention into everyday care.
