    Though I obviously fundamentally disagree with much of what the Prime Minister’s Government has done, I wish him and his family well during what will have been a testing time Labour MPs should remember the tale of poor Jim: hold on to nurse, for fear of something much worse

    300,000 jobs lost. 100,000 more young people unemployed. Thousands more now stuck on benefits. This is Keir Starmer’s legacy. Burnham must do better.

    We cannot let Labour launch a dangerous medical experiment on vulnerable children.

    Whilst we’re all focused today’s *big* resignation, we must remember what the defence resignations mean for us as well We’re spending far too little on defence, and the Northern Ireland Bill risks rewriting history by putting veterans in the dock desmondswaynemp.com/ds-blog/resign…

    The argument sounded clever: Conservatives have never won in Makerfield. Do a deal with Reform. Stand down and they’ll do the same in Aberdeen “Unite the Right”. I decided it was more important to Unite the Country. That’s why we won in Aberdeen. My piece in Daily Mail below 👇

    Reform like to dress up as Thatcherites... but they behave like Corbynites, writes Tory Party leader KEMI BADENOCH trib.al/k5otCfm

    Yesterday I had one of the greatest privileges - presenting my Babies Bill to the House The evidence is clear just how vital a baby’s first 1001 critical days from pregnancy to age two are I hope that on the 4th September, the whole House can unite around such a crucial cause

    Another U-Turn! Conservatives have forced the government to drop their deranged plan to slaughter the Dartmoor ponies.

    🐎NEW: Ministers are 'looking into' changing the rules to guarantee the protection of the Dartmoor ponies, a govt source tells me An almighty political row has blown up over the animals on the moor, but it's really over rules that have been in place for a few years already

    I’ve just presented my world-first Babies Bill to the Commons. The evidence is clear just how vital a baby’s first 1001 critical days from pregnancy to age two are. I hope that over the next few months I can unite the whole House around such a crucial cause.

    Lost my @OxfordUnion virginity last night. @blackfordian1, @DesmondSwayne, @rachelmillward, student Prajwal Pandey and I opposed the motion ‘This House believes Reform is fit to govern.’ @AndrewRosindell, @GoodwinMJ, @GHWTowler & @McivorJaymey on the other side. We won 271-51.

    It's time to bring back common sense. @KemiBadenoch will scrap the rules stopping our police and public services from treating everyone equally.

    A child’s first 1001 days - pregnancy to age two, are critical in laying their life’s foundations. Winning the PMB was an enormous privilege. I want to unite Parliament around a world-first Bill to recognise this, and enshrine support for the 1001 critical days in law. 🧵 1/6
