I first went to Kosovo in 2004. Thanks to our armed forces, and the decision by our Labour Government to intervene, ethnic cleansing was stopped.
It was a honour to meet with the President of Kosovo and I'll continue to be a champion of strengthened ties between our two nations.
In London, among friends of the Republic of Kosovo; those who stood with us during our most difficult days and who continue to champion our alliance with the United Kingdom.

This is truly awful news, especially when there was hope that the Wilko, and our Marlowes store, would have a new buyer.
£77m taken out of Wilko in ten years, yet no accountability for the owners. Solidarity to all the staff affected.
Wilko's collapse isn’t a tragedy without cause.
It was run into the ground by the business owners.
No worker caused the downfall of Wilko.
But they will be the ones who will suffer – all as the owners get off scot-free.

Wilko going into administration is deeply worrying for Wilko staff, as well as the future of the Marlowes.

I'm gutted but also angry that it's come to this.
The Wilkinson family et al have taken £77m in dividends over the last decade. They must plug any gaps in staff's pensions.
We've seen same for Royal Mail - no decent pay rise for postmen/women yet £2bn given to shareholders...
Completely gutted for the Wilko staff at the Marlowes store and elsewhere.
Just yesterday PWC replied to my letter to say sales signs in-store were "not indicative of any planned closures."
I hope staff now get help into new jobs and decent settlements.

A great start on SEND reform.
Given the many failures of Hertfordshire County Council on this, I know is a huge worry for many families across Hemel.
The Tories said the SEND system is “lose, lose, lose”.
I agree.
The difference is I’m gripping the issue. We have already restructured the Department to focus on improving inclusion in mainstream schools for children with SEND.
A long way to go, but an important start.

Gutting news about the closure of Wilkos. More than 30 people in the Marlowes store going to lose their jobs. For me this is a toxic combo of an incompetent government raising costs for businesses + greed from owners which meant nothing in the bank for a rainy day. Some thoughts:

Absolutely essential we take strong action on child poverty in this country, so it's great to see our government launch a ministerial taskforce to kickstart work on a child poverty strategy. More details on this can be found here:

We will work every day across government to reduce child poverty and give every child the best start in life.
