What we see online doesn’t stay online.

Violent pornography is putting young people in danger - that’s why we’re banning it.

@KiMcGuinness @unitetheunion @gonortheast The services in Washington are shocking. I wanted to go into Newcastle recently and this is what I was faced with.

[Adrian @NEAdrian7]

I'd given up by this point and abandoned my trip into Newcastle, but this was the shambolic state of the service @gonortheast provides to its customers. How are you supposed to rely on that?

This is shameful and needs to be addressed urgently

We inherited a broken NHS, with millions of people languishing on waiting lists. Their lives on hold.

My government is delivering our Plan for Change.

Our reforms to elective recovery will end backlogs and provide millions more appointments, making our NHS fit for the future.

"He has the potential to incite hatred in ways that I have never seen"

Former Conservative No 10 advisor Samuel Kasumu says some of Robert Jenrick's comments over the last 12 months could "result in some people maybe even dying"

We’re investing in General Practice, with financial incentives for GPs to manage patients in the community where possible to help us cut waiting lists.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Without reform and modernisation, the NHS risks going the way of Woolies.

That’s why Labour’s plan delivers the investment and reform needed to beat the Tory backlog and build a modern NHS fit for the future 👇🏻

We’re delivering on our promise to provide more and better diagnostic scanners, like these ‘DEXA’ scanners that will deliver 30,000 more scans a year to identify fracture risks and osteoporosis 👇🏻

We’ll modernise the NHS to give patients more ease, convenience, choice and control in their own pockets via the NHS app 👇🏻

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

We’ll free up a million appointments for patients who need them by scrapping pointless outpatient appointments, with better monitoring at home and in the community, giving patients the choice about whether they need to see someone in person 👇🏻

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Tomorrow the Prime Minister will launch the Government’s reform plan to cut NHS waiting times from 18 months to 18 weeks.

Today’s papers are full of actions we’re taking to get you seen faster. 🧵

Real choice for patients about where to be treated👇🏻

Today Parliament packs up for Christmas recess. I figured now is a good time to recap on what I've done as Education Secretary in 2024.

A thread on the change we've driven, and what it means for you.

The Tories failed families and carers by neglecting adult social care.

That ends now.

With investment, my government will transform adult social care into a system that provides dignity for those who need it.

No more sticking plasters. We will deliver our Plan for Change and create an NHS fit for the future.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

On social care we need a triumph of hope over experience.

Successive governments - Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, SNP… - have failed on social care.

The Independent Commission on Social Care - led by Louise Casey - will help us build a National Care Service.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Successive governments have failed on social care. It’s not a shortage of good ideas that’s the problem, but a shortage of good politics.

Today that changes with Louise Casey.

Britain has a social care crisis. Here’s how we’ll work together to fix it 👇🏻

I am enormously grateful and proud to have been awarded a DSO in the King’s New Year’s Honours list.

Commanding on operations, and having the chance to serve at that level, is hugely rewarding and I would do it again given the chance.

This honour is a high watermark. It is humbling for me personally, but also for the recognition of the incredible teams that I have commanded and worked with to achieve extraordinary and courageous things for our nation. This award recognises them.

Surround yourself with the best people, prioritise, provide boundaries, then delegate, and you will see magic happen.

On my behalf and theirs, thank you for this honour.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous new year.
