Great to join with Jimmy, better known as @MrBeast, to highlight efforts to provide school meals to 100 million more children worldwide by 2030. School meals are among the best investments we can ever make.

Britain can go from being a country that invents the future to one that develops, scales and owns it. We can become the innovation nation. ft.com/content/53d6b648-ea21…

Innovation is the answer to Britain’s elusive growth problem

We need to support the next generation of start-ups to become internationally competitive

So enjoyed talking to @bbclysedoucet at the @edbookfest at the Edinburgh Futures Institute - never fail to be inspired by her reporting especially in Afghanistan where we both want to see girl's education restored.

Congratulations to my friend Andy Burnham on becoming leader of the Labour Party with a clear mission to transform Britain for the better. Today, we also thank Keir Starmer for bringing Labour back into government and guiding Britain through difficult times at home and abroad.

Keir Starmer’s place in history is assured. We owe Keir a debt of gratitude for taking Labour from its worst electoral defeat in 2019, bringing Labour back into government with a huge majority in 2024 and then guiding Britain through difficult times nationally and globally.

I know Keir as a decent honourable leader who has at all times been determined to put the needs of the country first. Today we think also of the huge support given by Vic and their family and wish them all well in the future.

We are missing Jo Cox for the contribution she would have made to British public life over the past ten years, but her words still resonate. There is so much we can do to bring communities together and to support each other as we remember the impact of Jo's life.
The Jo Cox Foundation@JoCoxFoundationJun 16
Ten years on, Jo’s words continue to guide us: “We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Today, we remember Jo’s life, her service, and the legacy she continues to inspire in communities across the UK and beyond. #MoreInCommon

I’ve followed Scotland at the Spain 1982,  Italy 1990 and  France 1998 World Cups but last night's victory was the greatest celebration of them all.

Delighted to be in the USA watching Scotland play Haiti tonight, honouring a promise I made to my youngest many years ago that if Scotland qualified we'd go together to see them play... and hopefully win.
