Forever our first female Chancellor @RachelReevesMP
History made and a glass ceiling smashed. Thank you, sister🌹
It has been the privilege of my life to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The economy today is stronger, fairer and more resilient because of the choices we have taken as a Labour Government over the past two years.
Stability restored, investment delivered and reform to our economy under way. I said when I was appointed Chancellor that I would judge my time in office if the lives ordinary working class people have been improved. I’m proud to say that they have.
And to every young woman and girl let my time in office show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, your hopes or your dreams.
I wish the very best of luck to my successor, Andy and his cabinet. You have my full support, and I will continue to play my part in helping this Labour government deliver the change the country needs.

I’ve been writing about Andy Burnham in Manchester for a while. We’ve had a few run-ins but I think he has qualities that many people don’t appreciate and weaknesses that spell trouble.
I wrote this for @ManchesterMill - I hope it’s insightful and fair.

Farage is wrong.
People with Indefinite Leave to Remain are our neighbours and strengthen Britain.
For my constituent Maia, a Russian AI specialist, ILR means protection from persecution in an autocratic state and the freedom to use her skills to advance UK prosperity.

A No10 source said: “We’ve long known that we’ve got to go where people are. That means working more closely with creators, influencers and smaller platforms to tell our story."

To defend itself affordably, could Europe revolutionise its approach by establishing a World Bank-style financial vehicle like the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank? @CalvinBailey and @GraemeDownieMP explore this question below.

My five year old just asked me if I did ‘good listening at Parlie-ament’ today and so deserved a sticker.
Might pitch this to Mr Speaker for the modernisation committee …

Admittedly these aren’t as funny as the suggestion to replace ambulance sirens with Danny Dyer shouting “knee-naw”, but this is while the exercise is well worth it. Get involved at change.nhs.uk
Lots of focus today on the more eccentric ideas generated from public consultation @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting so far....
So I spent 15 mins looking through suggestions already published...
Here are 15 ideas in no particular order worth pursuing further (in my view)...👇
