Delighted to see @JohnHealey_MP appointed Chancellor. A man of great integrity, honesty and sound judgement, with a genuine commitment to doing what is right for the country

Prayers for Kevin and his family. A football great, who played and managed the beautiful game, beautifully. May he rest in peace.
Congratulations to Prime Minister Andy Burnham. His commitment today to end rough sleeping, restore trust in politics and rebuild Britain with a long-term plan marks a new chapter. Looking forward to working together to deliver for our communities
So sad to hear Kevin Keegan has passed away. He was one of my heroes growing up.
I interviewed him for the Don Revie book - a really lovely guy - my thoughts are with his family and friends
As a CWGC Commissioner, I had the honour of reading the Exhortation at the Menin Gate this evening. Deeply moving to stand alongside people of all ages in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We will remember them.

James’ book is out March 30, well worth a read!
Great visit to the London Book Fair this morning - books and publishing are a real British success story and it was fantastic to see the industry in action
Great to meet with Stephen Jenkins, Leyton Orient historian and author, who was so helpful when I was researching the Football Battalions. Thank you for my tie!
