Following the vote of the Scottish Parliament against assisted dying, we now have a moral obligation to move quickly to make the urgently needed improvements in end of life care. 1/4
Inadequate provision is a problem across the the United Kingdom. So it is time for cooperation between all the different governments of the UK so every person is guaranteed the most compassionate and highest quality of care. 3/4
A warm welcome to @MaysaJalbout as the new Executive Director of @EduCannotWait, the first global fund dedicated to education in emergencies

Now is the time for every combatant to be warned in no uncertain terms that schools deserve the same moral status as hospitals – protected places – and the same protection under international law.

Mayor Helen Godwin’s ambition to bring together all the ingenuity available in the West of England to tackle child poverty is inspiring. Helen deserves widespread support for her leadership as she introduces these new policies and methods of cooperation to combat child poverty
National news! 📰 We're planning for the UK's first hub of its kind to get surplus food and household essentials to people in need.
Working with Bristol Charities, @FareShareUK South West and other partners, we can help tackle child poverty and make a real difference for communities across the West.

Remembering is how we can learn and do better. @HolocaustUK's work to share the stories of survivors has never been more necessary as we mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking over 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.
My thoughts are with the families of the 457 courageous and patriotic British soldiers who gave their lives in Afghanistan and who served in some of the most dangerous places in the world. Their contribution will never be forgotten.
2/3 Today marked @GordonBrown's second visit, first visiting in #WarmWelcomeWeek last year, where he met volunteer Margaret, who gives her time each week to cook hearty meals & keep guests warm with steaming mugs of tea and coffee, & this year they were able to catch up again.
Pleased to see that the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is undertaking a historic visit to Coventry Cathedral.
Here is the video I created nearly 10 years ago in Coventry Cathedral - an important symbol of Britain’s links to Europe.

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children.

Congratulations to the @ScotlandNT team and Steve Clarke for taking us through to the World Cup finals. I have been in Spain 1982, Italy 1990, and France 1998. Looking forward to cheering the team on in North America in 2026.
Bridget visited the Scottish Multibank and the Kirkcaldy Cottage Family Centre with me on Friday in Fife. On Monday, I am also pleased to be meeting Lucy, who is joining an event with anti-poverty leaders.
Delighted to be speaking with Bridget Phillipson and Lucy Powell about the child poverty review. I applaud both for their stated commitments to reducing child poverty.
