    Last year in Flookburgh I was heartbroken to meet a man and his 7-year-old daughter who hadn't been able to see her mum for 8 long months because of cruel Home Office rules. A year later and I'm so glad to say that after loads of hard work we managed to get the family reunited.

    Lovely to see so many people out and about on my run this afternoon - I was, however, worried I’d miss some FA cup final excitement... got back home to find that I’d not missed anything!

    For the good of the country, I so much want Labour to stop being such childish, tribal wombats and recover... but then they go and act like childish, tribal wombats and I shrug and think (however fancifully) ‘let’s just replace them, they deserve to go down the plug hole...’

    When I was a kid, if someone had offered me a deal where Rovers would win the league (and then the league cup) and be brilliant for a few years.. but then be utterly disappointing for most of my life, I’d have taken it like a shot. Still can’t believe this happened. What a team!

    Calorie labelling on menus is ineffective, and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders. We’ve drafted a letter asking your MP to oppose this legislation - take action here:

    We are extremely disappointed that the Govt has continued with these plans, despite clear evidence it is ineffective and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders. We urge parliamentarians to protect people with EDs and oppose this legislation.

    Local MP has opposed the government's plans to introduce calorie labeling on menus in restaurants and cafes with 250 or more employees. The government say the measures form part of a strategy to tackle obesity and so people can make informed choices when eating out.

    Department of Health plans to introduce calorie labelling on restaurant and takeaway menus may be well-intentioned, but they sadly risk exacerbating mental health issues for people with eating disorders. I've written to Matt Hancock asking him to ditch these plans immediately.

    It would take 15 months at 110% capacity to clear the backlog - the Government must commit to funding the cancer workforce to protect lives.

    100% agree . working with many schools this summer term to do as you suggest, but as a sector we could do so much more with proper support.
