From Game of Thrones to How To Train Your Dragon, Northern Ireland’s creative industries are strengthening our reputation for world-class film, television & video games. I chaired the UK Soft Power Council to discuss driving growth promoting the UK to the world. @DCMS @FCDOGovUK

During my visit to the Island of Ireland, I was in Dublin to discuss the UK Digital ID. Great to meet with @nealerichmond and @brophytalks and discuss our plans, including the Common Travel Area, Good Friday Agreement and Windsor framework compatibility.

Great to be at Stormont this week for the first time to listen and discuss our Digital ID proposals with Ministers and politicians.

A new digital ID will make it easier to prove your right to work. Swipe to learn the facts from the fiction 👉

The UK Government is making Scotland a great place to invest: ➡️ free trade agreements with the EU, India and US ➡️ Scotland as the UK's clean energy powerhouse ➡️ biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War Today at Scotland's Global Investment Summit

Blowing a hoolie as well. Congratulations

Mortgages down £1,500. Wages up £1,800. There is a positive Labour story to tell, we shouldn't be shy about it.

Agree with every word of this by @BrianWilson997. Every day in my constituency I see the legacy of failure in education, and especially in FE. With devastating impact on young lives. We must do all we can to fix it (starting at next year’s Holyrood election)

📷⚽️Fantastic afternoon Liberton Primary as we welcomed @IanMurrayMP to our P1- P4 after school football! The minister joined in the fun, met the young players and handed over a donation of balls & bibs from Edinburgh South CFC to the school. @ScottishFA @UEFA

Labour’s healthcare revolution hasn’t reached Scotland The SNP’s sclerotic governance is preventing progressive change, writes @chrisdeerin https://t.co/GnKhb07AzQ

A statement from the Muslim and Jewish Co-Chairs of the Optimistic Alliance following the terror attack in Manchester

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

Scotland’s best days are ahead of us. Watch our latest PPB -

Tech is taking off across the UK 🚀 14 projects nationwide, backed by government funding, will support entrepreneurs, grow local ecosystems, and create jobs across the country.

We want our money back. We are getting our money back. And it will go where it belongs - in our schools, NHS and communities.

A Britain built for all.

A reminder the NHS app the SNP promised still hasn’t launched in Scotland yet.

Keir Starmer attacks Nigel Farage and Reform UK: I will take no more lectures from 'politicians who lied to this country, unleashed chaos, and walked after Brexit.' #Lab25

“Telling a Chinese takeaway owner to go home, that's not pride - that's racism,” PM Keir Starmer says Those who say people that have “lived here for generations” should be “deported” are the “enemy of national renewal,” he adds Follow live: https://t.co/oI3MtQ9Amb

This is probably the best speech Keir Starmer has ever made as Labour leader. Feels like it's coming from the heart, rather than just words on a page.
