"These restrictions will help protect children from being exposed to advertising of less healthy food and drinks, which evidence shows influences their dietary preferences from a young age," says @GwynneMP

Excellent interview by the German Ambassador @GermanAmbUK at 0735 @BBCr4today, arguing eloquently that youth mobility is in the interests of young people in the UK as well as all EU countries. If the 🇬🇧Govt don’t like the Commission proposal, hope they will make a counteroffer!
The Conservative Party has turned its attack dogs - and those of clients journalists - on the Government. Given the parlous state in which they left the country, there is not a hint of accepting any responsibility for their own serial failings. Contempt is a suitable response.
The new bill to remove the hereditary peers from the House of Lords is a very welcome. The next step should be to remove the Lords Spiritual. There should be no reserved seats in Parliament for any one religion.

I’m delighted that tap-in tap-out will be rolled out to Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth in 2025!
🚆 Great news for residents, making it easier for them to connect with opportunities.
Just the beginning of this gov’s work reforming rail travel! 👍 https://t.co/ls2wAqJAoN
🚨 Arsenal’s final deal with Chelsea for Raheem Sterling includes NO loan fee & a requirement to pay less than half of the player’s wages. Over the course of the season-long loan, Chelsea will effectively be paying Sterling in the region of £10m to play for Arsenal. [@JamesOlley]
Hi Tories, you do know your manifesto commitment was to ban all smoking by anyone born after 2009 and that Sunak praised this as a world-leading initiative that would ‘save more lives than any other decision we could take’. You know that, yes?
Everywhere in the UK things are bad. How long did it take to make a mess this dire? We know it was 14 years. Labour doesn’t have a magic wand or money tree. They’re offering hard work & a plan but they also need people to give them time. Ridiculous to be carping after 7 weeks.
Further escalation in the Middle East must be avoided at all costs. In my call with Israeli Minister @AmbDermer I reiterated the UK’s support for Israel’s security, the importance of restraint, the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages.
Breaking ! France has just announced this evening it's banning all its young people from studying, working or living anywhere else in Europe
Of course it hasn't. The place would go ballistic
The UK however has to do precisely that because 2 people in Clacton might not like it👇
Congratulations to all students getting results today, and a huge thank you to the incredible teachers & staff who’ve supported you along the way.
You’ve shown amazing resilience, overcoming challenges and you should be proud of all you’ve achieved. Well done 🎉

Growing up in a small town like Butte, Nebraska – you learn to take care of each other.
The family down the road may not think, pray, or love like you – but they are your neighbors and you look out for them.
