Never has a Budget unravelled so much before a Chancellor has stood up to deliver it.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen press briefings and policy-testing from the Treasury, on an unprecedented scale.

PFI was expanded by Tony Blair's Govt.
However, for £13bn of investment, the NHS incurred a bill of over £80bn due to PFI contracts.
There's growing concern that Labour is bringing in PFI 2.0.
I sought assurances that Labour isn't repeating mistakes of the past. We will hold them to their word.

As November, men's health awareness month, draws to a close, it's important to keep open those conversations with the men and boys in your life.
Last night I joined @lbc.co.uk panel to discuss (among other things!) prostate cancer screening and the Men's Health Strategy.

It is so important, particularly on International Men's Day, to start a conversation with the men and boys in your life.
Men currently make up 76% of all suicides in the UK.
On average, 13 men a day take their own lives.

Recent press reports on possible tax rises have seriously unsettled the economy and added needless pressure on households and businesses.
Today I asked the Treasury Minister to confirm these leaks did not come from inside the Treasury itself.

share ideas on tackling rural crime on everything from equipment theft to hate coursing 🚜
I know from talking to farmers how much a difference the team has made, recovering over £3m worth of equipment since 2022, so I was pleased to thank them for their hard work!

Last week I reiterated the importance of distinguishing between challenges with mental health and mental wellbeing.
As I have said before, a rough road isn't the same as a collapsed bridge. Both slow you down, but one stops you entirely.

It was interesting to hear about Oliver’s career journey and what drove him to open the clinic, and discuss the aesthetics industry and cosmetic regulation more broadly - something I’m interested in both from a medical perspective and my work on body image.

The Government's National Insurance rise is having a dramatic impact on the hospice sector.
The Government will argue it has given £100m to the sector, but this is CAPITAL FUNDING ONLY.

Men’s and boys’ health is something I’ve been working on since I was first elected.
As I say here, men’s and women’s health is an “and” issue, not an “or” issue.
