Great morning at the Swindon South member’s meeting so good to hear from @jimrobbins (Leader of @SwindonCouncil) as part of the let’s talk Swindon series.
Amazing deep dive into the Swindon plan, would really recommend attending these events to engage with the ambitions for the future of Swindon and our community culture.

Leaseholders are being ripped off by managing agents who levy huge charges but provide poor service.
It’s got to stop. I’m one of 34 Labour MPs who have written today to the country’s largest managing agent, FirstPort, to demand they come to Parliament to explain themselves.
Scafell Pike, Peak 2, Day 2 ✔️
Absolutely loved this climb - pretty good conditions today, tad windy & poor visibility at the summit.

Good luck everyone receiving exam results today but remember your results do not define you. My son didn’t get the results he wanted 2 years ago - he was absolutely gutted but 12 months on he resat & got 3 A’s. He’s now just finished his 1st yr studying Chemistry.
To everyone receiving their results in #swindon today 🎓✨
Well Done!
Something I wish I had been told and that I share with all my patients, is to remember that results don’t define you!
If things didn’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. There are still plenty of opportunities ahead. What matters most is finding the right fit for you.
Keep going.

The end of a double campaign whirlwind means I can get back to what I love most, writing - specifically about Politics and the NHS.

All of us who work in criminal justice are acutely aware it’s at breaking point due to years of £cuts & inept policy-making: a whole system approach to fix it is needed. I know @Heidi_Labour@ShabanaMahmood & team will take this challenge on head first & make a real difference.
Couldn’t agree more with @JamesTCobbler - the prison system is broken, it is ineffective in rehabilitating individuals and for many being incarcerated causes more harm. The evidence is loud and clear - community sentences are far more effective in reducing reoffending.
Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).
Today I’m voting for @Heidi_Labour because I want my young adult children to have a brighter future, to have hope and opportunity. It’s only a #Labour Government who can provide this. Vote Labour today, vote for change #generalection2024.
