Might need to sign up @AndyBurnhamGM for the next Labour staffers game. We’re in the market for a a star striker. A lovely 4-2 win vs Tory-aligned AFC Bluebirds to start the summer though.

Can Labour do it on a cold, rainy night in Acton? Of course they can. A lovely 4-2 victory over the Conservative aligned AFC Bluebirds to win the inaugural Politico Westminster Cup. It was great to do it in our new kit sponsored by GMB.

Party conference season is finally over. It was great to speak with so many MPs and advisers from across the political spectrum. The highlight of course was playing for the famous Lobby XI football team and beating the Tories 4-1.

If you told me as a kid that one day my work would take me to the US Capitol in Washington, D.C., I’d have thought you were mad. The West Wing nerd in me was always going to enjoy it, but as a city it was also an incredible place.

16 years ago I was lucky enough to see Oasis at the infamous power cut gig at Heaton Park. I’d just finished a GCSE exam and my mum drove me over. This time I took the tube to see Manchester’s finest. Hello, it’s good to be back.

It was great to join a panel to discuss community cohesion at Labour Youth & Student Congress. This is a conversation that may not have happened in the past, but it is important that discussions around cohesion and integration take place, particularly on the left of politics.

Always great to play for the Labour Staffers XI, especially when we are playing vs the MPs’ team. A tight 1-0 win and former Premier League ref Dermot Gallagher keeping everyone well behaved made it a lovely morning in the sunshine.

It was great to take part in a 5-a-side tournament organised by @mylifemysay to help get more young people registered to vote. As my mum said to me and no doubt many mums have said to their kids: ‘if you don’t vote, you can’t moan.’

Always found it odd that a shadow minister could have an advisor who worked with them on a brief for years, then on entering government the new minister cannot take this person with them. Politicians are elected by the public to bring change, and that should include personnel.

What an incredible show Adolescence is. It really puts a spotlight on one of the fastest growing issues of our time: social media influencing real world violence. How can a young person be sent down such a rabbit hole by social media algorithms.

Parents cannot be expected to know every post or video their child views online. It also raises the question of the massive vacuum that has been left in the lives of white working class boys in particular. A vacuum that certain chancers/influencers have taken advantage of.

Match report fails to mention it was a lovely header from a long throw-in that would have made Tony Pulis and Rory Delap proud.

One of the best parts of working in Parliament is being able to give tours to students from your own area. Politics can be tough to break into, especially with no prior connections, so it was great to answer questions and offer some words of advice to the next generation.

A wonderful few days at the first Labour conference with a Labour government of my adult life. Now is the time to deliver and it was great to hear so much about how we can get our country back on track.

A lovely day for the King to come to work. It’s great to finally witness a State Opening of Parliament under a Labour government.

First week back at work done with the first Labour government of my adult life. It’s good to see the work of change already underway.
