Tense match, but they did it! 🏴⚽️
Lots of shouting at the TV in my house last night, joining the chorus of England fans throughout the country doing exactly the same thing.
🎓 Yesterday was the final day of the 2026 Bassetlaw Parliamentary Summer School.
🗺️ The students had a busy day, taking part in a treasure hunt around London. They explored famous places, learned how to use London's public transport, and grew in confidence along the way. They also met the Deputy U.S. Ambassador, Robert Thomas, who spoke about his job and how he started his career in diplomacy.
🏛️ To finish the day, I surprised them with a visit to 10 and 11 Downing Street. I presented them with their certificates, and they also met Rachel Blake, the MP for the Cities of London and Westminster. She spoke about her role as Economic Secretary to the Treasury and what her work involves.
🌟 It was a real pleasure to welcome such a fantastic group of young people from Bassetlaw to the 2026 Summer School. I wish them all the very best for the future, and I look forward to seeing what they achieve next.
Day 4 of the Bassetlaw Summer School is almost complete ✅ Only one day left!
💳 The day started with a visit to Revolut, where the students learned about the start-up and how the company has expanded since its launch as a FinTech in 2015. They also took part in a team challenge to come up with a new product that would encourage more people to bank with them and offer something new to the banking sector.
📦 In the afternoon, the group visited Amazon HQ where they learned about the company's core principles and how these help shape the way Amazon works every day. The students also picked up some useful career advice, including what makes a CV stand out and how to make a great first impression when applying for jobs.
✨ Tonight, the students are getting ready for the Summer School Gala Dinner, where they'll be joined by a very special guest. Another fantastic end to another exciting day in London!
🚌 Day 3 of the Bassetlaw Summer School is complete! ✅
🏛️ Their Tuesday began with a trip to Parliament, where the students met Kanishka Narayan MP, the Minister for AI and Online Safety. He spoke about the Government's plans to ban social media for under 16s. The students then heard from the Molly Rose Foundation and the NSPCC, discussing the changes in more detail.
⚖️ In the afternoon, the group travelled to Clifford Chance in Canary Wharf. They met partners, associates and trainee solicitors, who spoke to them about what it's like to work in law, answering questions and engaging them in case studies.
🎭 This evening, they're enjoying a performance of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in the lovely weather.
💵 Again, another interesting day here in London, and an early night tonight before their sessions at Revolut Bank and the Amazon UK HQ tomorrow!
There are reports that Freeview could be switched off in the early 2030s, with a move towards internet-based TV instead.
This means it will no longer be possible to watch live TV through a television aerial.
I am concerned about this as Freeview is used by many people who do not have reliable broadband, or those who do not have broadband at all.
I am attending a meeting on this next week and it is important that your views are heard.
🏛️ Day 2 of Bassetlaw Summer School - Complete ✅
🚆 Today, the Summer School students arrived in London, and spent their day in the heart of Westminster.
👣 We started with a tour of the Houses of Parliament, where the students went into the Lords Chamber and heard more about how Parliament works. We then got to visit 10 Downing Street where we took photos - unfortunately we didn't get to meet Larry the cat this time!
🎥 From there, we headed back to Parliament, where the students got to learn about the world of broadcasting and the different careers available in the media. There was also some very good questions about the BBC and its Charter as it comes up for renewal.
🎩 We then finished the day with a special visit to Speaker's House, where the students met and questioned the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle - what a brilliant way to end an amazing day.
👀Looking forward to tomorrow, when they'll be back in Westminster before heading over to Canary Wharf!
