"Don't leave office eating regretti spaghetti" is going to be my new motto 🤣👏 Fab new manual from @DollyvanT & @HenryDimbleby about what it will take to successfully address diet & obesity-related illness, including CVD. @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting & @GwynneMP take note!

Super proud of the team and grateful to all the new and returning MPs who chatted to BHF over the last 3 weeks about how they can help heart patients this Parliament ❤️ And anyone who's ever been to conference will understand the accidental 2 hour nap I've just woken up from 🤣

Great to hear Streeting is thinking about dedicated plans to tackle some of the UK's biggest killers. Record numbers of people are waiting for cardiac tests & treatment, which is why @BHFpolicy are also urging Govt to consider a dedicated Heart Disease Action Plan ❤️

Does anyone else have notepads that are "too nice" to write in, so go forever unused, or are you normal? *I'm on the lookout for a new organisational notepad, I don't just randomly think about stationery (at least, not always...)
