Earlier today I met with a group of people in Blackpool who have put themselves forward for a public appointment role.
They spoke to me about their experiences & their thoughts on how we open up @DCMS public appointments to people from every kind of background. (1/3)
@danroan To be fair, Paul Deacon kicking a drop goal in the 2003 Super League Grand Final was a pivotal moment for the Bradford Bulls. Maybe Nadine Dorries is a fan of Bullmania.
Like Jason Robinson I may have switched codes in my speech... Both league & union have a rich heritage in the UK. Obviously I've followed rugby league much less in my lifetime, but I'm looking forward to watching England (& all the home nations) in the RL World Cup this Autumn
Of course levelling up is about transport links and infrastructure projects. But it’s also about using culture to drive growth and regenerate towns and communities. It’s about bringing world-class art to every corner of the UK – and that’s exactly what @GrundyBlackpool does.
Good morning from Blackpool ! Looking forward to a jam-packed day ahead meeting @DCMS sectors at work across the North West.
Have your say!
We want to understand the impact of more short-term holiday lets in England.
Share your views on the challenges and opportunities for holidaymakers and the tourism sector.

Just met with sport governing bodies to discuss trans participation. This is a complex and emotionally charged issue - but it’s one that has been ducked for too long. We can’t pretend that sex doesn’t have a direct impact on a person’s athletic performance. (1/5)

1/3 I’m not sure how many have actually read the bill, but I’m struggling to find anyone who argues with the point that if it’s illegal offline, it should be illegal online too and that’s what this bill achieves.

It's great to be back 🙌

.@DCMS industries continuing to boost economic growth across the country. That's more jobs, higher wages helping to ease those cost of living pressures.
Recent stats show our sectors driving economic growth:
➡️254,000 more jobs than pre-pandemic
➡️4.3m people working in creative industries, digital, civil society, culture, sport, telecoms & gambling
➡️Average hourly pay £15.68, 16% higher than UK average

Grew up listening to the band from my hometown - what a moment to see Macca headlining last night, still rocking it at 80.
Coverage of Glasto fantastic as ever. Credit to the BBC who have pulled off another huge technical feat to bring all of this amazing music to us at home.
I have huge compassion for anyone who finds themselves living in a body they don’t recognise. But we can’t pretend that sex doesn’t matter.
In a choice between inclusivity against fairness, I will always choose fairness.

All children should have the opportunity to enjoy music and sports at school ⚽🏸🎻🎤
We're helping more schools like @ThealeGreen to provide an enriching curriculum that inspires young people to be active and love music 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Our National Plan for Music Education will provide more opportunities for children to enjoy music.
@FevershamSchool in Bradford show us how their pupils learn confidence in their musical abilities from the start of their education.
We want to make sure every child, regardless of where they grow up or where they go to school, has the tools they need to achieve their ambitions.
✅Skills

One life lost to social media is one too many.
Change is needed. The Online Safety Bill will tackle online abuse and make the internet safer, especially for our children.
This is Felix's story, as told by his mum, Lucy 👇
1/3 Last night was a reminder that we must be relentless in cracking on with the job of delivering. Under @BorisJohnson we are massively investing in digital infrastructure which is accelerating growth and employment in our rapidly expanding tech sectors.
Obviously it’s a good night for Labour and the Lib Dems and a bad one for the Tories but historically, byelections tell us very little about subsequent general elections.
The Tories lost 15 seats at byelections between 1979 and 1992 but went on to win in 1983, 1987 and 1992.
It was such a pleasure to unexpectedly meet, Cole. By chance, the previous evening I had watched him in @BBC drama, My Name is Leon and had been so moved by the story.
His acting skills are something else. As my Nan would have said, ‘we’ll see his name in lights one day.’
This week the @DianaAward and @rioferdy5 hosted a reception to discuss how we can support young people to #SpeakOutAboutBullying.

Right that the BBC are holding this review.
It's a stat I quote a lot - but it's staggering that 74% of those prosecuted for failing to pay the licence fee are women. Glad that they're looking into this in more detail so this disparity can be tackled.

Many pensioners are reliant on a free TV licence, which slashes the usual £159 cost to nothing.
So we're making it much easier for older people to apply for or renew their free TV licence – easing the admin burden put on over 75s.

The future of women's football is bright with fantastic programmes like this at Southern Road Primary School.
As many people know, I moved to this country aged 11, unable to speak a word of English.
Some of my first school experiences involved being called a ‘p*ki’ and even having my head dunked in a pond by bigger kids as entertainment.
It’s time to talk about bullying.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Fantastic to join pupils at Shefford Lower School for a #BeInternetLegends assembly with @TheParentsZone and @GoogleUK, teaching children about media literacy and ways to stay safer online. #Onlinesafetybill
We were pleased to welcome @NadineDorries to Southern Primary School to show her our Barclays Girls' Football School Partnerships in action.
With @WEURO2022 just around the corner, we want to inspire girls across the country to get involved at all levels of our national game. https://twitter.com/NadineDorries/status/1539611157887082499
One of my favourite parts of the job. Got to spend this morning with young girls at Southern Road Primary in Newham taking part in the @FA’s Girls Football programme.
It doesn't just keep them fit and active – sessions like this give rise to the next generation of @Lionesses.
Spoke to @Otkachenkoua this afternoon to discuss the Eurovision Song Contest. We remain 💯 supportive of our friends in Ukraine being given the opportunity to host Eurovision next year, and demonstrate to the world the enduring richness of Ukrainian culture and creativity.
23% of young people would stop going online to avoid being bullied.
We can work together to change this. 💚

Former BBC Trust chairman Lord Chris Patten: "Look, the words 'Nadine Dorries' and 'culture' should not appear in the same sentence."
@AndrewMarr9
Being open, transparent and impartial is vital to the BBC maintaining trust.
The BBC must significantly improve its handling of complaints.
Ofcom’s report will feed into the BBC Mid-Term Review. As our national broadcaster, the BBC must deliver for its audiences.
The BBC must transform the way it serves audiences. We’ve found:
➡️Many people don’t have confidence in its complaints process
➡️It’s rated highly for trust and accuracy, but less favourably for impartiality
We’re proposing some changes, read them here: https://ofcom.in/bbc-review22
He’s got all the big calls wrong. Not an original thought or policy to grace his grid.
