This is why it’s vitally important that we get our children back into the classroom to learn and to be with their friends. Nothing will have a greater effect on the life chances of our children than returning to school. (4/4)

We've made serious breakthroughs @COP26.
We've kept 1.5 alive and made huge progress on coal, cars, cash and trees.
And while there is still so much that needs to be done to save our planet, we'll look back at COP26 as the moment humanity finally got real about climate change.

Nothing can undo the pain caused by David Fuller's unimaginable crimes, but I hope some comfort can be taken from the fact he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. My thoughts are with the family and friends of his victims, who have shown incredible bravery in court today.

Good news that @MHRAgovuk has approved the first therapeutic treatment designed specifically for COVID-19.
Alongside our life-saving vaccine programme, this will be an important weapon in fighting COVID, particularly for those who are immunocompromised.

This #HolocaustMemorialDay it was a privilege to hear the testimony of Manfred Goldberg BEM, who survived the horrors of the Holocaust.

I’m proud that there are more women in parliament today than ever before.
But there is much more to do, and we can’t rest until 50% of MPs are women.
If you know someone who would make a great MP, then #AskHerToStand.
