In this new parliament there are now as many state educated Sacred Heart Girls as there are old Etonian boys.
I’m proud to be an Education Minister in a Labour Government that better reflects the country and that will focus on breaking down the barriers to opportunity for all.
Today is our #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay. 6.5 million UK households will be in fuel poverty from January and our work has never been needed more. By working together we can make a difference.
The @NEA_UKCharity fundraising team are at #ThirdSectorAwards. Appropriately enough for Fundraising Team of the Year. Small team, small charity, doing huge things at epicentre of cost of living crisis. No-one could deserve this more. C'mon!

Our Business and Partnership team are at the @Team_1LoD ‘Future of Non-Financial Risk and Control across the three lines of defence’ conference. We’re pleased to be the charity partner for the event. #XLoDGlobal
It’s a 40 from us! Boys had to change the scores for @HamzaYassin3 and Jovita! And we may have watched it 4 times already and copied every move @bbcstrictly
In the last year, the average energy price has almost doubled. For some households, it will be impossible to stay warm and safe this winter. That’s why we’re launching three urgent appeals to support those most in need 👇https://t.co/74mMJpBMzb (1/5)
It’s heartbreaking to hear how children are being affected by poverty. Even free school meals doesn’t cover what our children need and they’re literally going hungry and then coming home to a cold home! 😢 #energycrisisconf
Really powerful personal experience from @SingleDadSW who is speaking at our #EnergyCrisisConf while in emergency credit. He explains how hard it is knowing his fridge could be cut off at any moment #FuelPoverty

Almost certainly you can't opt out of the £400 grant (and means testing it would probably add a lot of cost).
If you feel this way may I suggest you donate it to @NEA_UKCharity
Lots of discussion of #CostOfLivingCrisis and energy costs at #PMQs. If prices hit what Ofgem have projected yesterday, many vulnerable householders will be unable to afford to heat their homes this winter.
