For @politicshome.bsky.social , I've made the case for centring eye care in the NHS 10-year plan, by expanding community-delivered care to embracing digital innovation.
As With the right investment, leadership, and coordination, eye care can become a cornerstone of a modern, person-centred NHS.

It's official: This Labour Govt is removing the Tories' cruel two-child benefit limit.
This will improve the lives of an estimated 1,960 children in #Battersea & lift 450,000 children out of poverty nationally by the end of the decade.
No child should be born into a life of punishment.

Children in #Wandsworth have received 2.4m free school meals since Sept 2023 thanks to the Mayor’s pioneering policy.
👏 That’s more nutritious, sociable lunchtimes for primary school kids in London.

Lord Dubs of Battersea is quite right.
The proposed immigration changes are needlessly cruel and will do little to make our immigration system more humane, workable, safe or responsible. I strongly encourage the Govt to look again at proposals.

Undoubtedly, we are in the midst of a catastrophic housebuilding crisis that requires radical change.
However, excluding Councils - who truly understand their communities - from the planning process is the wrong approach.

Councils to lose power to block large housing developments
The housing secretary will take the ability to veto local objections and speed up planning delays, but councils see it as an attack on local democracy
