And if you think Labour with Wes Street ingredients as Health Secretary will be any better you're delusional!

At Lancaster University today for Megans Graduation Ceremony, couldn't be more proud of the wonderful young lady she's become!

The NHS can’t survive on reform alone. It needs proper funding, not privatisation.

Back in my happy place, onboard MSC Divina with a daiquiri in my hand..

My last shift today at Stockport. It's been amazing - I've learnt & experienced so much and met so many great people. The team strives to make the patient experience a positive one whilst pushing to improve and lead on what's expected of hospital catering. I'll miss you all xx

Trump's apparent victory has 5 big implications for the UK: 🧵 1️⃣ It can happen here. He will back Farage, the Musk propaganda machine will crank up against Labour; the Tories will remould themselves into Trump-lite Islamophobes ...

2️⃣ The UK needs to become the European leader of NATO, and all European countries need to hike spending on defence and democratic resilience. America is a permanently unreliable ally in this century

4️⃣ Labour needs to redefine economic delivery: if we don't enhance people's economic security, real wages, personal security and the prospects of their kids - they will turn to the chimeric solutions of the far right....

5️⃣ What good is a performative left? Our job is to fight fascism in the communities it's taking hold of. That means a principled, tough liberalism on crime, migration and national pride - the American left's obsessions and actions just handed ammo to Trump in his battlegrounds.

Ok Jonathan Pie You are amazing!!
