Big Ben looking glorious today as I was in Parliament to speak to @vickyfoxcroft on @LondonSport work in Lewisham and the need to do more to support disabled people participate in grassroots sport.

I really hope Jordan doesn’t do this. He’s been such a powerful and staunch LGBTQ+ ally
🚨 Jordan Henderson leaning towards accepting life-changing Al Ettifaq offer. 33yo set to decide imminently. Would quadruple Liverpool wages. Gerrard driving pursuit. If Henderson approves, clubs will immediately hold talks on deal @TheAthleticFC #LFC #SPL theathletic.com/4687088/2023…
It was great to welcome @maxwhitlock1 from @TeamGB to meet pupils from @ColvillePS to raise awareness of physical activity within London. Great work by @AldiUK with food vouchers providing healthy snacks as part of @LondonSport Opening Schools Facilities programme.

We’re concerned that we could lose vital assets like public pools due to sky high energy costs
🏊♀️A leading swimming pool operator says some London pools could close unless government reverses its decision to exclude them from the Energy Bills Discount Scheme.
Government says it’s spent £18bn on support but reviewed it due to “unsustainable costs”.
