Only I could book a caravan park Stowford Farm Meadows in Devon in the heatwave where the water isn’t working. Been off since Sunday and not likely to come back on until Tuesday. Well we don’t actually know. The country has gone to the dogs. @ParkResorts @Hoseasons

I don’t know if it’s any easier to see a GP. I’ve called 3 times Friday, Monday and Tuesday and by the time I get through all appointments have gone. Yep it’s much easier. Not 🤓

This is what people are saying in the queue at the coop. The issue is no one listens to the actual voter.
The local elections were devastating. We lost outstanding councillors and candidates.
On the doorstep, voters repeatedly told us the same thing, national issues and the party leadership meant they could no longer vote Labour.
We now need an orderly transition to new leadership.

Sounds like no one is listening

Labour was elected to change this country.
That is what the public want, and what they deserve.
Tough days like today don’t weaken our determination to deliver that change. They strengthen it.

To give children the best start in life, we need high expectations, and the courage to slow down.

Early years stands at a crossroads.
Yes, there are positive policy moves.
But what’s happening in classrooms and settings tells a different story.
We need courage to rethink the system, not just manage it.

Great to catch up with my friend @JDVance today in DC following his talks in Pakistan.
It is vital that the ceasefire continues and we get shipping flowing freely again through the Straits of Hormuz.
We continue to work together towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

Free childcare. Breakfast clubs.
Sounds like families are better off…
But rising costs quietly cancel it out.
This isn’t transformation.
It’s an offset.
Families aren’t moving forward, they’re just standing still.

What happens when early years educators believe in love & nurture… but feel they can’t fully show it?
Particularly for men in the sector, authenticity can come at a cost.
This is something we need to talk about.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
