We're delivering 2,500,000 more NHS dentist appointments - and the biggest sustained increase in dental school places since 2007, with a dental school in every region.
Lots done, lots more to do on NHS Dentistry - incl. reforming dental contract - but we're making progress.

Should you have to choose between caring for someone you love and keeping your job?
As Minister for Employment Rights, I've launched a consultation on workplace protections for unpaid carers and parents of seriously ill children.
I want to hear from you ⬇️
ALT Are you an unpaid carer? We’re consulting on how workplace protections can work better for carers. Have your say!

We're determined to improve employment rights for unpaid carers.
Yesterday I heard about the challenges carers face as they balance caring and work.
Our consultation is now open so carers can help shape our framework: gov.uk/government/news/unpai…

Fantastic to speak at a Net Zero Industry Wales event last week with @abports21
By working together, we can make the 2030s a decade of opportunity for Wales and prove that Port Talbot remains at the heart of Britain’s industrial future. 🏴🏴

11 years now as an MP with a mic-in-hand at various Labour events, and yet somehow this is my first ever double act with you-know-who!
Many thanks to @sarahsackman and Finchley & Golder’s Green CLP for inviting us, and to all the lovely Labour members for such a warm reception.

Today, we commemorate 82 years since the Normandy landings, beginning the liberation of Western Europe.
We honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who fought and defeated fascism.
We will remember them.

Pleased @PortsmouthUni will soon have a brand new dental school, backed by the first sustained government-funded places since 2007!
This expansion will train NHS-ready dentists in areas that need them most.
We’re getting NHS dentistry back on its feet and fit for the future.
🦷 Too many people have struggled for too long to get the NHS dental care they need.
That's why we're bringing new dental schools to communities that need them most.
@SKinnock visited @portsmouthuni which will start training dentists next year.

Fantastic visit to Concord Pharmacy in Bristol to announce a £340m funding package for community pharmacy.
We're making the most of highly skilled pharmacists like Saeed, so patients get better care on their doorstep, with more services on the high street.

From the autumn, more pharmacists in England will be able to prescribe medications as part of an effort to speed up care and ease pressure on GP surgeries and hospitals.
Independent prescribing will help patients get better care, closer to home.

It’s time to fix the broken fit note system.
Replacing tick-box exercises with personalised plans to get back into work.
Cutting admin for GPs so they can focus on patients.
Our 10 Year Health Plan is all about earlier support, from the right people, in the right place.

Farage trousered £5,000,000 from a crypto guy in Thailand without declaring it in the Register, and then went on to actively promote crypto in speeches.
He initially claimed every penny was to pay for personal security... but he bought a £1.4m house in cash shortly after… 🤔

And now he’s changed his story and is saying that the £5m was in fact a ‘reward’ for campaigning for Brexit…
I mean, you could not make this stuff up 🤷♂️, it really does stink to high heaven.
The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is now going to investigate, and rightly so.
