Surely if you’re setting up a ‘Class Unit’ to tackle inequalities, you have to have some idea of your definition of working class?

Not if you’re the Labour government.

Taxpayers money being spent on tackling problems they can’t define. It’s just not good enough.

Thank you to @GWRHelp for their annual Poppy Train. Usually I’d be at Ivybridge station to send a wreath from SW Devon to Paddington but I’m in Westminster. Grateful to local RBL veteran, Mick for presenting it on my behalf.

Hear hear. Families across my constituency told me this is what they wanted so I’m very pleased it’s finally happening.

Labour have finally done the right thing & introduced a proper smartphone ban in schools.

They voted against a ban seven times & dismissed our call as an “unnecessary, headline-grabbing gimmick”.

Labour have been on quite a journey, but I welcome this newfound common sense.

Great to see the impact of this trade deal which originated under the last Conservative government. When I visited @WombatCricket in Ivybridge last week they shared how they will benefit with their willow wood and cricket bat exports to India. 🇮🇳 🏏

From British willow to cricket grounds across India. 🏏

The UK-India trade deal will phase out tariffs on cricket bats over the next five years, creating new opportunities for UK bat makers and the farmers growing the British willow behind them.
