Someone said to me the other day, “play offs, beating Man U & and the King coming to town in the last 12 months is quite a year for Grimsby.” We are just getting started. Proud of the team @OurFutureNEL for doing the heavy lift. 🤍🖤🤍🖤(fab photos Gary Davies )
Went on a run this morning with a mate who I never talk about work or politics with. In his 30's and never voted.

“And so it came to pass.
‘The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history’ found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation. From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City Of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten.
There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”

The role of government isn’t to micromanage from Whitehall.
It’s to set clear expectations, clear the path, and trust those on the ground.
Parents, teacher and local leaders are showing what renewal looks like in real life.

I’ll following and backing the work of GGF in the north, but still work to do to ground the story of “growth” into something that people feel.

After a couple of days in the Westminster world, great to get back up north tonight to attend the @GoodGrowthFdn event in Manchester.
Hat tip to @joshsimonsmp and @prafulnargund for grounding their speeches in the human impact of this thing called “growth”

We need to start to see some benefits of this so-called nationalisation
