What a way to kick off the year with @JewishLabour’s one day conference. Was a pleasure to discuss Labour’s past, present & future, alongside other important topics including Ukraine. Thanks to @Keir_Starmer we can now focus on Labour’s future - and it’s bright.

New Labour’s NHS reforms transformed a service where long waiting times had left hundreds of thousands in pain into a service where short waits, patient choice, rising staff numbers & new facilities were the norm. @wesstreeting is going to have to do that all over again.
