We are shocked one of our special constables has been assaulted challenging a thief while off duty. There is no place in London for violence. 📣 Help us - if you have footage of this attack call 101 immediately.

In every community, in every part of Britain there is ambition and people working hard for a better future. Just imagine what this country could be if we had a government with that same level of ambition. That’s the choice at the next election. #BBCQT

A year ago, Mo, a Consultant Surgeon at @uhbtrust, returned to surgery after becoming paralysed. ‘It's only possible due to amazing support from @uhbtrust, the NHS, and colleagues.’ Mo now uses a wheelchair allowing him to continue his beloved job. #UKDisabilityHistoryMonth

A few years ago I had the pleasure of being invited to the theatre by the late, great Matthew Perry, alongside my friends from Guide Dogs. Matthew took the time to sit down & talk with me about his daily struggles. It doesn’t matter who you are, talking helps 💛

A brilliant speech from @RachelReevesMP. @UKLabour will rewire Britain, creating 220,000 new jobs and securing the supply chain we need for lower energy bills. The publicly owned GB Energy will bid into this competition - British people deserve a stake in their energy system.

Today I was discriminated against! La Croissanterie told me to leave because I had a dog with me. When I explained that she is a guide dog and it is illegal to refuse me service the owner attempted to usher me out the door and said they had a no dog policy. @HeadingtonNews 1/2

Since day one, the NHS has never stood still. It has continually innovated and adapted to meet the changing needs of our patients – and continues to do so. To everyone who's made such a difference to many millions of lives over the last 75 years — thank you.
