It was fantastic to hear how passionate our young people in #York are. There was so much engagement and energy in the room as I discussed the students’ challenges and interests. Enjoyed a visit to the Social Policy Society at University of York

It is time for Parliament to act so that it can, or the Monarch can, remove titles. The Duke of York title may no longer be being used by its holder, but it has not been removed. #York #RoyalTitles #RemovalOfTitles #DukeOfYork

We stand up for really high values in #York. When there was polling on this back in 2022, 80% of residents said they did not want that title continued because of the association with our city. That’s why I have stood firm. More in these two articles on @theguardian.com 👇

I’m delighted that York Knights RLFC are playing Super League rugby next season. It’s the right decision, I am in favour of seeing a team’s performances on the pitch being rewarded. As the Championship league winners....1/2

I condemn and am horrified by the appalling attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with survivors, victims’ families and the Jewish community.
