Antimicrobial resistance - including antibiotics becoming less effective - is one of the biggest challenges that society will face over the decades to come.

The British armed forces pride themselves on being the best, but to recruit the best, we need to pay accordingly. Money does not buy professionalism in a soldier, but there is a salary below the services cannot retain our best service people.

Division in the western Balkans needs careful diplomacy. We must work with allies to help preserve multi-ethnic states and resist attempts by Russia to stoke tensions.

Influential voices from within the UN, from allies and even from within Israel have been calling for another way. The British Government should demonstrate consequences for an invasion of Rafah and suspend arms exports.

Thank you to @backmarket and @RestartProject for hosting the event. Thanks also to Fiona for repairing my laptop bag while this photo was being taken. It's as good as new!

Great to have @RichardFoordLD at our Repair Café event in Parliament, supporting the right to repair. When it takes as much energy to make one new smartphone as it does to use one for ten years, it’s vital that consumers are empowered to choose repair over buying new.

Asthma affects over 5 million people in the UK, and air pollution in our towns is a key driver of symptoms. It's a reminder this #WorldAsthmaDay of why a Cullompton relief road would serve to relieve more than just traffic. @asthmalunguk

Volunteers keep rural life on the road. For example, leaders @DevonScouts do invaluable work in building skills and confidence among young people. Volunteering is rewarding - not just for beneficiaries, but for volunteers too.

It is awful that oil and gas giants like Shell are using some of the profits made from skyrocketing energy bills to further inflate their share price, misleading investors. Public services should benefit from a levy on buybacks.
