England will benefit from the first ever Fair Pay Agreement for care workers. Wales & Scotland have the power to do the same, with new laws allowing for creation of negotiating bodies. Time for Plaid and SNP to show they value care workers as much as the UK Labour Govt does.

For too long, care workers have been overlooked. We're changing that by giving our 1.5 million care workers a voice, a fair deal and better rights through the first ever Fair Pay Agreement, alongside proper training and opportunities. Industrial relations for the modern age.

Fantastic to visit @marinepowersys to discuss their unique approach to building structures for offshore wind developments. It was great to learn about the challenges & opportunities for the sector, and most importantly, the prospect of good jobs here in Aberafan Maesteg.

Social Prescribing is central to our shifts from hospital community & sickness to prevention. We're supporting people with the social factors that impact health. That's why we're investing £3m in National Academy of SP & making SP a key part of our Neighbourhood Health Service.

Unpaid carers make an extraordinary contribution. Yet too many go unseen or struggle to access support. Our Unpaid Carers Action Plan will help carers thrive in education and work, while building a system that recognises and values all they do.

Labour’s initial response to the treatment of Gaza caused huge hurt. We got it wrong and I am sorry for that.
