Digital access to public services, through tools like Digital ID, has the potential to make sure all our services are connected and talking to each other, so no one falls through the cracks. But we have to get it right especially for those who rely on joined-up support the most.

In case you missed this last week. ๐ There's lots of important and impactful work happening locally to support homeless and vulnerable people in the city - but with winter approaching, this additional cash for Southampton will be very welcome and make a real difference.

Very proud of our cityโs @unisouthampton leading the way on educational opportunities! ๐๐๐๐
Great to hear Prime Minster @Keir_Starmer and Prime Minister @narendramodi highlight the global significance of universities. We became the first international university to establish a campus in India under the countryโs National Education Policy. ๐ https://t.co/wxyzdzJSIj

As a former lecturer, I may be a bit biased, but I think it's genuinely great to see @unisouthampton's role as a global leader in higher education being recognised as part of the UK government's visit to India.๐ https://t.co/7i67Lv4U0y

Today, we remember all those killed in the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists on October 7. We stand unequivocally with the Jewish community against hate and in the hope of the return of all of the hostages held in Gaza, and for a just and lasting peace.

Buying a home should be a dream, not a nightmare. Our plans to fix the homebuying process will save first-time buyers ยฃ710 on average and cut weeks off the process. This Government is putting money back into working people's pockets.

Myself and Satvir will work with our local police to ensure our Jewish community here in Southampton is protected and feels safe at this sensitive moment. My huge thanks to our brave police and emergency services.

You are not alone. I mourn with you and will act with you to protect peace and the right to worship without fear. We must confront antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and hate together, swiftly and relentlessly, through security, education and trust.

I am horrified by the vile attack on a synagogue in Manchester, especially on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. I stand with Manchesterโs Jewish community, and with Jewish communities across the country, including here in Southampton.

Just out of the hall for Keirโs speech- spot on. Clear vision, honest about the challenges, and a plan to renew Britain. Proud to be part of this patriotic project to unite our country and build a Britain for all. ๐ฌ๐ง๐#Lab25

I've written for @SchoolsWeek about the curriculum review, arguing that the curriculum can play a stronger role in helping today's schoolchildren navigate the world safely and successfully as they grow up. https://t.co/ii0dxpu9Bi

I've got great news! Today the government has confirmed that that we have secured ยฃ20 million funding for Weston. That's going to amount to ยฃ2 million funding every year for Weston, particularly the areas concentrated around the Weston housing estates, for the next ten years.๐
