@LDN_Health It's fantastic to be joined by so many people at our supporting #breastfeeding event. We're bringing partners from all over the city to see how we can support families to breastfeed for as long as they choose.

We’ve launched the Money Saving Boiler Challenge, supported by @WhichUK @OctopusEnergy @EDFenergy @eon_next @EnergyUK, to help 1m people with combi boilers save cash this winter.

It's quick and easy to do, saving a typical household £112 off their bill: https://t.co/t5ImcRiccv

This is why they were included in the government's obesity strategy.

Good thread on @KelloggsUKI failed judicial review.

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

The @KelloggsUKI junk food court victory is a *stonker*.
Industry efforts to overturn the whole basis of nutrition measurement drop-kicked into the stands by Mr Justice Linden.
I've never read a judgement like it.
Junk food industry shd be ashamed.
Here's a few highlights. 1/🧵

The world is waking up to the news that rugby legend @gareththomas14 is living with HIV.

Gareth isn’t just living with HIV, he is thriving. Today he takes on the gruelling @IRONMAN_Wales challenge proving HIV won’t hold him back.

We couldn’t be prouder.

Excellent session with Dr Tom Coffey and @BakitaKK bringing #ftc2019 to a close. It’s been such an interesting conference and I’ve learnt a lot.
