We just met @wesstreeting at Labour Party Conference 🙌
It was great to hear him recognise the importance of listening to young people and show support for ending the use of misleading health claims on products being marketed to children 💪 💥
Thanks Wes! #Lab24
Steph Houghton is one of England’s greatest leaders. She is iconic in the women’s game. On Wednesday she said she hoped to leave the game in a better place. She has certainly done that.

If you're as mad about this as we are, sign our open letter calling on these companies to sell more healthy products (and less junk!) -- and quit the cute, cuddly marketing on products that aren't good for kids health👇

🤯 7 of the 10 biggest global food businesses make their money from selling mostly unhealthy food and drink in the UK*
🧸 The same number are using child-appealing tactics like cartoons and colourful packaging to market unhealthy products to kids.

A blast from the past: A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. #thread
For too long junk food has had us surrounded.
Nearly a third of children aged 2-15 are now at future risk of developing food-related illnesses like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
The good news: it’s totally preventable. And we’re ready to Bite Back. #FuelUsDontFoolUs

@michelletandler I definitely recommend Will Atherton’s YouTube channel. His approach to puppy training and his videos are great!
Lots on loose lead walking and other stuff too.
My partner and I had loads of success following his videos with our now 1 yr old vizsla.

Great speech by Becky from @BiteBack2030 challenging city leaders from around the world to take action:
“You are part of the solution. You can protect the health and futures of millions of children” ⚡️

Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon talking more sense at #cities4health summit:
“Advertising must work, otherwise they wouldn’t spend millions of pounds doing it, right?”
Yes! Obviously! 🙌
#adenough
Great to see @MayorofLondon kick off the Partnership for Healthy Cities Summit by taking aim at those trying to undermine public health interventions..
“No matter what they throw at us, it’s a fight worth having, it’s a fight worth winning” 👊

Hello Westminster👋
Since @Jeremy_Hunt won’t extend #FreeSchoolMeals to all kids living in poverty, we’ve decided to make some noise that the Government can’t ignore!
Today we’ll be handing in our petition signed by over 258,000 people. Thanks to everyone who has supported us🙏
7⃣days until the budget 💼
7⃣reasons to extend #FreeSchoolMeals
Day 1: Millions of people want this! 72% of people agree with extending free school meal support to the 800,000 kids living in poverty but not currently eligible to get them.
Take action — https://t.co/07UY63HKrY
Amazing job by @BiteBack2030 young campaigner Sneha this afternoon talking to her MP!
Expanding free school meals to all children living in poverty is a no brainier! 🥙🥗🥪
