Our evidence shows that measures such as a national strategy to address cognitive frailty, tackling food insecurity, and strengthening support for unpaid carers could have a positive impact on the health of our older people @HannahDaviesHEN

The Global Talent Fund excludes the North—despite our world-class institutions. I’ve asked the Science Minister why no region north of Birmingham was prioritised and why the selection process he set out to me wasn't evidence, geography or policy based:

Dame Chi Onwurah, Chair of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, has written to Lord Patrick Vallance, Science Minister, for further details on the Government’s Global Talent Fund (GTF).

The UK and France should be united in recognising Palestine, as set out by President Macron below. In the face of overwhelming suffering, starvation and mass shooting in Gaza and increasing settler violence in the West Bank, the UK must take decisive action.
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.

Just a reminder that our politicians are letting this happen. I think the world will be surprised how high the death rate is when the conflict ends. I made mortality estimates that some said were too high- I wonder now if they were too low.

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

If only my constituents’ economic wellbeing had bounced back as fast as Tory arrogance… I asked the Chief Secretary, if he agreed its easier for @OBR_UK to measure the value of cuts like those to welfare than the value of investment, such as investing in people getting into work
