Great to be on site for key step for New @TeamQEH with start of construction work on new multi-storey car park.
This key enabling project will free up the existing car park where the new 🏥 will be built.
The new 🏥 is my priority and I will do all I can to keep up momentum

ALT A black and white historical image shows a group of soldiers walking through a battlefield. Overlaid is a large red poppy with the words "LEST WE FORGET" in the center. Below, "REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2026" is written. A crest is at the top of the image.

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

On 1 September Andy Burnham told me he’d hold a Rail Summit after repeated poor performance on King’s Lynn line and other services.
Rather like the trains his government controls, no sign of it yet.

Labour’s latest plan to cut the cost of doing business?
A new uncapped holiday tax and accommodation tax that will further damage our visitor economy after their Jobs Tax, business rate hikes, and other costs.
We should be encouraging more visitors 🇬🇧, not taxing them more.
Exc: Evasion of Angela Rayner’s new “tourist tax” will carry a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison.
The measures, set out in a bill published on Wednesday, target accommodation providers in England who evade the proposed overnight visitor levy.
The new legislation is also designed to prevent property owners offering “mates’ rates” to friends that would reduce the amount of tax paid on temporary stays.
Just another out of touch Labour minister.
A week after her boss said he was on the side of “bloody-minded entrepreneurs.” 🤷♂️
Not a scooby about backing the people taking risks to create jobs.
'I don't think employers are working people.'
@CamillaTominey grills Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds MP, over whether Labour has breached its manifesto pledge in the Budget.

Starmer and Streeting failed to act to give valporate victims the redress they deserve.
Burnham needs to live up to what he said and act to right this wrong so parents can make long-term provision for their disabled children.

“Could he just outline where that reallocated capital spending will come from?”
Cue this rant at the Despatch Box from Wes Streeting to hide his discomfort at not knowing the answer to a straightforward question.
Stroppy, brittle and clearly not across the detail. Today the new Defence Secretary was found out.
Perhaps he should spend less time on his profile and more time getting on top of his brief?
The questions haven’t even got difficult yet.

This is astounding. The government's own figures show working-age welfare will go up by £60 BILLION by 2030, yet the Treasury has to rush out and correct the Chancellor to say there is no timetable for cutting the benefits bill. Looks like foot in mouth syndrome is spreading.
John Healey couldn't even find £10 billion to get defence spending to 3% of GDP - the thing he quit over.
Don't let anyone tell you this was a 'do no harm budget'. In doing so little, Labour have harmed our economic security and they've harmed our national security.

“I don’t care if he’s the Chair of the Defence Select Committee”
A churlish and ill-tempered outing from Wes Streeting at the Despatch Box as he undermines Tan Dhesi and the Labour-chaired Defence Select Committee that holds the Defence Secretary to account.
This is entirely the wrong tone to adopt.
The Welfare Party won’t cut the benefits bill. 😳
Conservatives will and have set out plans to do so.
When does the Chancellor plan to bring the benefits bill down?
Nick put this question to him: "There will be cuts in welfare before the election?"
John Healey replied: "There will be. There will be a reduction in the benefits bill. We'll do that in a Labour way."
This seemed it imply there would be a cut by the next election.
The Treasury has since got in touch to say Mr Healey was not setting a timetable.
James Wild MP retweeted
Unbelievable! 🤯
This morning, the Chancellor said the welfare bill would be cut before an election.
Now he’s being slapped down by Number 10!
The working-age welfare bill is set to hit £220 BILLION. That’s up £60 billion under Labour.
They should be cutting it NOW.
Andy Burnham's spokesman says the government won't be setting an "arbitrary target or timetable" on reducing the welfare bill.
Pressed if Healey misspoke in his Today interview, the spokesman says: "The chancellor is completely in line with what the PM has said over the last few months that the welfare bill needs to come down, and as I say, we're not setting an arbitrary target or timetable on that."

We Conservatives set John Healey five simple Budget tests.
He has failed them all.
The Chancellor hasn't even funded 3% defence spending by 2030. The very issue he resigned over!
Healey has kicked the can down the road, and failed to take the tough decisions Britain needs.
James Wild MP retweeted
When John Healey stands up today and tells us he will be taxing the banks just remember.
It won't be the banks that pay. It will be you.
James Wild MP retweeted
Britain is facing a fiscal cliff edge.
Taxes are at record highs. Debt is £3 trillion. Welfare is out of control. Our armed forces are not properly funded.
John Healey MUST take tough decisions today.👇
If he kicks the can down the road, we will all pay for it.
James Wild MP retweeted
Darren Jones admits John Healey is following the same defence plan as Rachel Reeves!
What was the point of his resignation?
If Healey fails to properly fund 3% defence spending by 2030, he must resign.
