It took moving school for my son to be identified as dyslexic. Early screening and diagnosis for people with dyslexia is absolutely essential so they get the support they need as early as possible.

Victims of rape and serious sexual offences will have new rights to challenge decisions as part of a CPS pilot scheme. Labour are serious about tackling violence against women and girls and I'm encouraged to see the rights of victims being strengthened.

There is no place in political discourse for misogyny disguised as “satire”. Well done tonight to our councillor @RogueVolunteer for calling out the Conservative leader at Broxtowe for his comments. Thankyou to the support from other councillors cross party.

It was great to spend some time in Kimberley town centre on Friday with Mayor Neil Doherty. Neil updated me on the great work the Town Council is doing with money from the Levelling-up Fund and about the great events they are putting on. Next one: Valentine’s Day!

Really good for the unanimous decision at planning committee tonight @broxtowebc for the reconstruction of Brinsley Headstocks. Retaining our heritage should be none political especially our working class mining history in the north of the borough

[Alex Norris MP @AlexJJNorris]

I represented the government at this morning's Westminster Hall debate on anti-social behaviour. We understand how unfair it is to have to live with ASB in your community, and we are recruiting thousands more neighbourhood police and community support officers to tackle it.

1/4 - ❗️A Flood Warning is in place for River Trent at Attenborough Nature Reserve.

Flooding is expected for: River Trent at Attenborough Nature Reserve including the Visitor Centre.

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable.

It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer's announcements in his speech about cutting NHS waiting lists this morning:

- Will expand community diagnostic centres (CDCs) and surgical hubs for faster, local treatment outside hospitals

- CDSs will operate longer hours (12 hours a day, seven days a week) to increase access to same-day tests and consultations, with up to half a million extra appointments annually

- Free up one million appointments annually by abolishing automatic follow-ups unless requested by patients

- New deal with private clinics to treat NHS patients - particular emphasis on joint operations and gynaecological procedures

- Simplify and promote patient choice of which hospitals to be treated in to adress low uptake

- Prevent unnecessary referrals as GPs will be funded to work with hospital doctors to get specialist advice before making referrals

- 14 surgical hubs will be created within existing hospitals by June to handle routine procedures like cataract and orthopaedic surgeries which will operate separately from other hospital areas to ensure operating time isn’t affected by emergencies

- Cut the number of patients waiting over 18 weeks by 450,000 by March 2026

- Aim for 65% of patients to start treatment or receive an all-clear within 18 weeks by March 2026, progressing toward the 92% NHS target by 2029

- AI will be used to predict and reduce missed appointments and improve resource allocation

- Trusts who make the fastest improvements in cutting waiting times will be rewarded with additional funding for capital projects tailored to local needs

On expanding use of the private sector, Starmer acknowledged "some would not like this," but added: "I'm not interested in putting ideology before patients."
