It was good to attend the opening event for Dovecote House in Piccadilly recently. A great scheme.
89 affordable homes with 31 for social rent - the first new social rent homes built within the inner ring road for many years - with plenty more to come.🏡

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Andy Burnham @andyburnham and I met with Ukrainian and British sailors in Portsmouth. They had just completed the multinational Sea Breeze exercises together. It is very important that our units have demonstrated a high level of preparedness in maritime demining. Our country is drawing ever closer to the NATO countries, and there is no doubt that our Navy – and the Armed Forces as a whole – are contributing to our shared security in Europe through their knowledge and skills. I thank our warriors for their service and professionalism. I am grateful to the United Kingdom and to all our partners for their support.

But also measures to make Pride safer are also under attack by some as well @Seoirse_ – at Sprowston, England
🕯️🏳️🌈💔A peaceful Berlin Pride event was tragically targeted by a brutal attack. This is an assault on freedom, equal rights, and respect. Our thoughts are with the victims, the injured, and their loved ones. We stand firm in defending everyone's right to live freely. We stand in solidarity with Berlin, with Germany, and with the LGBTI+ community. #CSDBerlin #BerlinPRIDE #B2507
"People are trying to divide our society and set some people against others. As the CSD in Berlin, we will not allow this."
The organisers of Berlin Pride say yesterday's attack must not be used "for political ends".

We're sending love and solidarity to all affected by the attack on Berlin Pride.
LGBTQ+ people deserve safety, particularly at the very Pride events where we unite together to protest, party and refuse to be invisible.

Our hearts are with everyone affected at the Christopher Street day parade in Berlin 🇩🇪 last night.
We stand with Berlin's LGBTIQ+ community and all those celebrating love, equality and freedom.
🏳️🌈 Love is stronger than hate.
I don’t know what I was expecting when Andy Burnham became PM, but this first week has gone better than even my most optimistic prediction.
Britain desperately needs a government that sets the agenda. One that is bold, optimistic and enjoys popular support. Let’s hope it lasts.
