Today @markdeanbrown & me joined the @CWGC Service of Remembrance in The Hague. Very moving to be standing among the graves of men who gave their lives for the freedom of the Netherlands, and for ours. Thank you to @ukinnl for the invitation. We will remember them.

On the 3rd anniversary of the October 7th Hamas terrorist atrocities, I'm reposting this thread that I wrote in the immediate aftermath:
I went to Kfar Aza twice this summer, in May and July taking Labour activists from the UK on study tours to Israel. Each time we were shown round by a bright and hilariously funny young Israeli woman, a former army medic. I have no idea if she is alive or dead.

Great trip to @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh with Labour colleagues @ChrisWebbMP @ParmjitDhanda & @andyfenner81. We were on stage taking about business opportunities, AI & governance. Great to meet with Saudi Police, the British Embassy & the Misk Foundation.

Moderated a panel on AI & Smart Borders at @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh. AI has stopped being a chatbot & started booking on our behalf. But it’s only worth building if it brings more people together. #LEAP26

Ask a ranger what they do, and you'll get a job description. Ask what it means to them, and you'll get something much bigger. This #WorldRangerDay2026, our rangers share it in their own words. What does a ranger mean to you? Share your thoughts using WhatDoesARangerMeanToMe. #SANParksRangers #SANParks #LiveYourWild

I’ve known @JohnHealey_MP for many years. Decent, straight-talking, honourable. Right calls on defence, he gets the £147bn visitor economy & he even mentions me in speeches! The UK is in good hands. @WYSETC stands ready to help.

An excellent appointment. John Healey is one of the best, delighted to see him back in Cabinet.
BREAKING: John Healey is Andy Burnham's surprise pick as chancellor, emerging as compromise candidate after Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood were both tipped. The former defence secretary - who was a Treasury minister under Gordon Brown - is seen as a safe pair of hands who will do new PM's bidding as chancellor.
