Growth demands a relentless focus on the future.

But I worry Burnham is too focused on the past; in almost every speech, he talks about what should have happened under Thatcher in the 1980s.

This would be like Blair railing against Macmillan, or me blaming Jim Callaghan for the challenges of the 2020s.

The emphasis on the past is even more concerning given that Burnham has abolished the government department most focused on the future.

I was lucky enough to work for James when he was Secretary of State. He was one of the kindest people you could ever meet and completely dedicated to public service.

Deeply moved reading Cathy's piece this morning about the courage with which he faced his illness, and of the family that meant everything to him.

What actually happens when a new prime minister walks through the door of 10 Downing Street?

The first hours, the impossible diary, the choices that shape a premiership and why time is the most precious resource of all.

Proud of this team. Wasn’t to be tonight but they’ve given the whole country so much to cheer this summer.

Thank you and heads up 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Andy Burnham may want to be the devolution PM. The world will have other ideas.

We're living through both the most dangerous and the most transformational moment of our lifetimes. How Britain responds will determine our success 👇

Ann Widdecombe was a formidable public servant and a distinctive voice in British politics for many years. The circumstances of her death are deeply shocking and my thoughts are with her family and friends at this terrible time.

Former Prime Minister and Co-Founder of The Richmond Project @RishiSunak spoke to the Numeracy for Life Committee recently about how better foundations in numeracy and stronger financial literacy can improve lives.

America’s embrace of creative destruction is one reason for its economic success.

It's unafraid to let weaker firms fail and be replaced by more productive competitors.

If Britain wants faster growth, we need to recover our sense of dynamism 👇

Numeracy does not stop at the school gate.

Today, @richmondproj and I are giving evidence to the @UKHouseofLords on why supporting adults matters if we want children to grow up confident with numbers.

Brilliant from England tonight.

Huge credit to Harry Kane and the whole team for showing that fight right to the end 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I often think of my Mum’s pharmacy.

Today’s AI tools would have made stock-keeping, accounting and medicine delivery quicker and less of a burden.

Too many small businesses are still not using AI. We can’t let them be left behind.

Political capital now depreciates faster than ever.

Across Europe, leaders are facing the same pressures, from weak growth to rising defence spending and a state that too often cannot deliver.

These are arduous times for incumbents. Anyone who wants to govern should understand why.

Good luck to Harry Kane and the England team tonight.

The whole country is behind you 🦁🦁🦁

@RishiSunak Thank you for participating in the meeting and great insights, Rishi.

Very sorry to hear this.

Wishing @JeremyClarkson a full and speedy recovery. Prostate cancer affects far too many men and early diagnosis can make all the difference.

Happy Birthday to His Majesty King Charles III.

A wonderful Trooping the Colour today and a fitting celebration of His Majesty's service to our country 🇬🇧

David Hockney changed how generations saw colour, light and landscape. His work was admired from Bradford and beyond but he never lost the qualities that shaped him.

One of Britain’s greatest artists and one of Yorkshire’s greatest sons.

May he rest in peace.

Only 21% of small businesses in the UK are using AI regularly.

@RishiSunak has written exclusively for our blog about why that needs to change.

Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister.

A remarkable milestone in the world’s largest democracy and good for the UK-India partnership which will continue to go from strength to strength.
