As Minister for Public Health, I am proud that this Government will make it illegal to sell high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s. This will ensure young people can live heathier lives and focus more at school! 🍎📚

Keir Mather has done the right thing. The gov is right to not move to an expenses only model for CROs. People like Sonny from my constituency, are the fourth blue light service and they are required to do over 100 hours of training. Let's recognise their courage and selflessness.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Why should Nigel Farage bother to attend House of Commons debates & votes, or worry about constituents in Clacton, when he's got lots of big earners like these on the go ... via Jonathan Pie

As a judge for the Golden Daggers can I plead with publishers to get their books to us quickly. I do a lot of my reading in July and August, often a book a day - proofs are fine for me. I would be so very grateful
