Promising work by @DamianHinds to improve literacy skills for prisoners 👏 With over half of prisoners having dyslexia, it is vital that we improve literacy in prisons to help neurodivergent people out of the cycle of crime and into work thetimes.co.uk/article/4294c…

I welcome the review in Initial Teacher Training & commitment to early identification for neurodivergent children. As someone who was only identified for my dyslexia at 18, I know just how important early identification and teacher training is. Promising work but more to do.

Thank you to CEN MP @MattHancock who spoke at our reception after our ‘Competing in the #NetZeroAge” conference today. He spoke passionately about the impact of climate change, the political risk of inaction and why conservatives must follow Thatcher and lead on climate.

Very sad news Betty Boothroyd was a trailblazer for women in politics and a huge inspiration to so many Parliamentarians Rest in peace
Betty Boothroyd, Speaker of the House of Commons from April 1992 to October 2000, has died aged 93. She was the first female Speaker and an MP for 27 years.
