Oh my god - I have just done The Great North Run! 🥹

Written Statement Number 2 on tomorrow’s @houseofcommons.parliament.uk Order Paper makes me jump for the joy - the launch of the all new 10 year National Youth Strategy!

Been waiting all year for this one, so much looking forward to diving in as Young People’s voices really do matter. 🙌🏽

Birmingham New Street looking marvellous with the branding across the station this morning. 🙌🏽

The message is very clear; this will be a new era for our track and trains and which puts us, the public: FIRST!

All aboard Great British Railways! 🚄

Hugely exciting to see the brand unveiling for GBR, which is striking in flying the Red, White and Blue of our nation.

GBR: One Railway, Owned By YOU. 🇬🇧

You absolute LEGEND!!

Think I am ready… 🫣

Today could be one of those VERY special days for British sport!

Hope it’s a clean and fair fight!

Safe to say one has some emotions, ahead of Lando Norris going for the ultimate glory tomorrow.

BRING IT ON HOME you superstar!

Where better to go post a political doorknock, than to the Cup of Joy in #Penn to mark #SmallBusinessSaturday. 🙌🏽

It legit has THE BEST #Coffee and sarnies anywhere in #Wolverhampton! 😍

That certainly helped get me through the nerve jangling #F1 Qualifying… 😂

I didn't think a US World Cup would be able to top Diana Ross's "penalty" for embarrassment, but here we are.

3 months since my first Great North Run - just 9 months and 9 days to go until the next. 🏃🏽‍♂️

Really like the 2026 Technical Training T-Shirt which comes with the GNR Membership, which as you can see is definitely correct location wise! 😅

Before the Budget I told you the Chancellor was going to do 3 things with it:

💷 Tacking the cost of living
✂️ Cutting NHS waiting lists
📉 Driving down borrowing and debt

How did I know?

Because if you ignore the media and listen to what the government said, they told us.

And she delivered all 3.

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:

"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".

Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Political 'journalists' no longer report on the facts and truth.

They share gossip and speculation.

And when the facts are know they move on to the next round of speculation and gossip.

I can guarantee you before the end of today, many in the media will be speculating about the next Budget!

Train fares frozen: not happened for decades.

Bringing rail back into public ownership means we can take action on fares.

Seeing that Paramount own Channel 5, perhaps the door is ajar to finally bring some European matches free-to-air again?

Please let it be so, as that would be both very welcomed and get HUGE viewing figures!

Paramount is set to win the rights to broadcast the majority of Champions League games in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Quick word about the Paramount+ UCL deal in the UK.
Yes it's yet another subscription.
However, if the Paramount succeeds in buying Warner/Discovery then Discovery+ and TNT Sports could get folded into Paramount+ so existing TNT subscribers would still get to watch Champions League.
Champions League: Paramount wins rights to show games in UK from 2027
Champions League matches in the UK will be shown by Paramount from 2027 after the US company wins the broadcast rights for the tournament.

A very late invite to the 2025 Social Economy Awards after work and thus being in the same room as PJ Ellis - formerly of Big Brother, has somewhat my week!

Was that late of an invite I was at work minus a suit, so a splash of £95 put that right. 😅

There is so much messed up about this front page Express story today.

There's no suggestion or evidence ANY alcohol or drugs was consumed. This is literally just people dancing.

And buried in the piece: "The footage is believed to have been filmed just before Labour took power in July last year."

🎟️ Your new all-access consumer protection just dropped ✨

The Government is announcing today that ticket resellers will be BANNED from selling tickets above face value.

We've been backing music fans and we'll see you on the barrier for these brand new protections 🫶

What an absolutely extraordinary and exceptional way to reach the World Cup by Scotland. ⚽️

A huge delight to speak in favour of the @coopparty.party.coop’s Equalities Policy Proposal at National Conference.

These policies will do that and particularly, the chance to finally deliver that Fully Inclusive ban on Conversation Therapy, as Trans Rights ARE Human Rights! ✊🏽

The joys of being on a tilting train to the capital, going at 125MPH on a very foggy Saturday morning, makes life feel rather very nice. ☺️

The Pendolino is absolute magic. ✨
