Thank you for your visible support to those affected by secondary (metastatic) breast cancer, which I'm sure will continue. From all at @make2ndscount.bsky.social

We won’t out Reform Reform, or out Green the Greens. We’ll be authentically Labour - taking the pressure of people’s lives and rewiring the country so it works for the many not the few. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning on the BBC.

Andy Burnham has a big bold vision of a country that works better for ordinary people, taking the pressure of family budgets, putting power and agency in the hands of communities. 👇🏻

Last Wednesday I met @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention, to discuss key public health issues, including my campaign to bring Health on the High Street to Dudley. I’ll keep making the case for more accessible local healthcare.

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! 🍎📚

Energy drinks banned in England for under-16s after major Mirror campaign

The Government has confirmed a ban on sale of energy drinks - such as Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar - to under-16s from next April, in a major win for the Mirror's campaign

Yesterday, the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers met to discuss how to drive the development of innovative treatments and diagnostic tools for rare cancers. We are delighted that Minister @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social attended and are grateful to @joshfg.bsky.social for chairing.

“Packed with sugar & highly acidic, dentists have seen the damage energy drinks do every day," says @eddiecrouch.bsky.social “The result is children struggling to eat, to sleep and to learn." "Taking them off the menu for under 16s is a victory for common sense."

A big thanks to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social for pushing this forward. Banning sales of energy drinks to under-16s is an important step towards protecting children's health. To achieve enforcement by April 2027, legislation must be laid as soon as Parliament returns from summer recess. ❌🥤

Energy drinks to be banned from sale to under-16s in England

This is great news. One more practical step to improve health and help young people in our country. So much like this has been done in the last two years.

Very welcome news from @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social and prevention in action. @thebda.bsky.social have called for change here as products that are habit forming, highly acidic and can contain over 20 teaspoons of sugar have no place on the menu for kids.

Thanks to @marykfoymp.bsky.social @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social and @novartis.bsky.social for their continued support of breast cancer patients and of preventing breast cancer, this time through the launch of Check Her Out campaign with @breastcancernow.bsky.social @make2ndscount.bsky.social

Women’s health has been ignored and neglected for too long. I said during my first appearance as minister and I will say it again - no more, not on my watch.

Every patient deserves the dignity of treatment away from the view of others and the comfort of a hospital bed during difficult and vulnerable moments. That is why this Labour government is acting to end the use of corridor care in the NHS by the end of this parliament 🌹🩺

The recent heatwave in the UK has had huge impacts on people’s health and therefore our NHS too. I was glad to be able to thank them for their professionalism and hard work and explain what we are doing as a government to ensure we are prepared and protected for extreme weather moving forward 💪☀️

This Labour government will create the healthiest generation ever, by shifting the focus from sickness to prevention and giving every child the best start in life 🍎📚

I was proud to go before the Lords Select Committee last week for the session on Childhood Vaccinations. 🏥🩺

Free at the point of use, a bold idea that transformed healthcare across Wales and the UK. On this day in 1948, Aneurin Bevan turned the spirit of #Tredegar's Medical Aid Society into our NHS. Made in Wales. Delivered by Labour. We'll never stop fighting for it.

Transparency and donations rules for MPs are really important. They exist for everyone - it’s not one rule for Farage, another for the rest of us. It’s vital his failure to declare these further gifts are probed.

🧵I’d rather spend my weekends doing something else than post about Nigel Farage’s murky finances, but his behaviour poses such a threat to our democratic norms that I wanted to flag a number of points in the public interest.

Wishing the England team all the very best in the early hours of this morning for their last 16 game in the World Cup in Mexico. I’ve got everything crossed we can do it & get to the quarters! 🏆 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It was great to welcome Oxclose Academy to Parliament for the Planet Big Ideas Competition 2026 National Final! 🌍 It is inspiring to see young people from Washington using their creativity and leadership skills to address critical climate issues.

It was great to drop by to see RNID’s fantastic work in action in Parliament yesterday. I was even lucky enough to get an ear wax and hearing check in the Hear for Norfolk mobile clinic (which I passed 🥰🎉). 🧵(1/2)

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Bridget Phillipson MP@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Beautiful display in Parliament celebrating Jo’s life and legacy ahead of the 10th anniversary of her murder tomorrow💜 #JoCox @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social

Today the Minister for Public Health and Prevention, @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social, joined me at Ark Putney Academy to hear from students all about school meals - what they like and what could be better.
