Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

Vital reading Rachel Sylvester interviews Dame Lesley Regan the new women’s health ambassador in The Times. ‘The NHS was designed by men for men. My role is trying to reset that.’

My mum’s book group read @DrMichaelMosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley

Absolutely spot on @EdwardJDavey.
Caring, carers are at the heart of any country.
Advocating for your SEND child is an all consuming necessity, a dehumanising hunger games. We are pointy-elbowed, adversarial, challenging if we do, feckless & lazy if we don't; lose lose.

We so often complain about the lack of press about healthcare science and understanding about healthcare scientists... but are we making ourselves known to the press, ready to answer the call, knocking on the doors?

Food giants make most of their profits from unhealthy food & drinks - much openly targeted at children. Hard hitting @BiteBack2030 #FuelusDontFoolUs demands advertisng restrictions, reductions in fat, salt & sugar & Govt action to enforce @RSylvesterTimes

Really proud and honoured to have contributed to the @thetimes Health Commission's brilliant report. This is so much more than another call to action - it’s a blueprint for fundamentally changing the nation's health and creating an environment that promotes a brighter and healthier future for everyone. No more excuses - our kids health can’t wait!

We're pleased to see the new #TimesHealthCommission report includes a recommendation for the NHS to prioritise research: shorturl.at/bqsU6
Delivering this would mean faster and more equitable patient access to transformative diagnostics, treatments and cures.

Breaking: Keir Starmer commits to patient passports if @labour is elected. Great to hear this as it is one of the main recommendations of The Times Health Commission report launched today.

NEW: Keir Starmer commits to delivering patient passports if Labour is elected. Times Health Commission says the digital record/app would cut delays and make it much easier for patients to move around the NHS:

We need to use health data better.
👩💼 To manage resources.
🧪 Pioneer safe and effective science.
🎯 To personalise care.
The public are on side (today's poll proves it). But system is stuck in treacle. Time to break free.
