My letter to the boss of the Maritime & Coastguard Agency. Respect our hero Coastguard Rescue Officers and reverse your cold decision to scrap the pay they receive for saving lives, on call 24/7, 365 days a year. It could be the end of Coastguard Rescue as we know it.

The Defence Secretary has resigned becuase the Prime Minister and Chancellor are unable or unwilling to fund the defence this country needs. The Defence Investment Plan apparently means an increase of just 0.08%.

The news about Sir Alex Younger has hit really hard. I met him just once. In February this year, he was the keynote speaker at our parliamentary away day. He was superb. I wished he had been in government when I was in cabinet. Even in retirement he was studiously apolitical.

GPs deliver 90% of NHS patient contacts on less than 10% of NHS funding. Yet every new NHS plan seems to start with asking them to do even more. Great to speak to 200+ GPs at the @WessexLMCs Conference today. I'll be taking their message to the NHS Modernisation Bill Committee

From grooming gangs, record illegal channel crossings, two-tier policing to the delay in the Defence Investment Plan, state failure is everywhere. Now the same unreformed system is responsible for whether the 7:41 to London Bridge is on time. Do fewer things, well.

From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys. We’ve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.

REFORM - IT NEVER ADDS UP. Reform’s latest gimmick has been ripped apart by tax experts and economists. Reform claim that ‘tax-free overtime’ would cost £5bn. It’s actually been costed at almost triple that - because it would be open to abuse on an industrial scale👇🏻 🧵 (1/9)

Heidi, why do you keep telling porkie pies about the roll out of the 701 trains on South Western? Every time it’s the same old nonsense. The new 701s have got bugger all to do with state control of the railways, they were ordered in 2017 and have been being rolled out for

Another big rail moment today, as South Western gets its first GBR train. Since coming into public ownership, a new fleet of trains has been rolling out, giving passengers more spacious, comfortable & air conditioned journeys. We're building a railway you can be proud of. 🇬🇧🚆

The Minister didn't seem to know how many prisoners have been released in error on Labour’s watch. So I told him. 441 including violent offenders and paedophiles. Shocking.

These are concerning allegations. Procedures to protect the welfare of participants on emotionally charged TV shows are important and such responsibilities must be taken seriously by UK broadcasters. Channel 4 and CPL must cooperate with any inquiries.
