Whilst it will rightly be the big one at SW19 that gets the attention today. @the_LTA decision to put on a 50K grass court Challenger has worked out great 👏 with British players hoovering up the points. And a debut 2nd tier victory for talented Brit Jack Pinnington- Jones. 🏆

I remember seeing Joe Root as a young lad when I played Rugby at Sheffield Tigers with his Dad. Just incredible to think that young lad from Sheffield is now the second highest Test run scorer in the history of the sport of Cricket. A quite remarkable achievement. 👏 👏

Brilliant to hear that there will be a @WestonParkCC bucket collection outside the ground ahead of @ChesterfieldFC v @SheffieldUnited match tomorrow. Please give if you can! spireitestrust.org.uk/2025/07/24/spi…

Someone (almost everyone) is worried about thousands of children starving to death. Try and understand it beyond what it means for you.

An appalling and harrowing thread on the suffering that Gazans are suffering. The two sides mist be further pressured by the global community to stop this war, get aid in, free the hostages and bring an end to this hell on earth.

The Nature Minister meets Nature! @MaryCreagh_ briefly thrown out of her stride at @CommonsEAC when a mouse intrudes during the Minister's contribution!

This is the biggest overhaul of the water sector in a generation.    My government will abolish Ofwat and establish a single powerful regulator to prevent water pollution and protect families from bill hikes.      Ending the chaos of the past.     Delivering for working people.

Having a lovely time in rainy Saltburn. Quiet drenched walk and saw a beautiful kingfisher 💚 along the riverbank:)) Fabulous.

Thank you for attending our strategy launch and for your continued support, Toby!

Happy to add my name to this letter challenging the idiocy of @reformparty_uk attempting to discourage investment in reducing energy prices in the UK. Tice has now rowed back but even the position he now takes still poses an existential risk to the UK economy and environment.

Called in to the launch of @spireitestrust strategy to learn about their plan for the next few years, continuing to support our community in a multitude of ways. An amazing team doing incredible work 📷

Great to meet with headteacher Marc and his team at Holly House School. Really encouraging to hear about the progress being made and the excellent education provided to neurodiverse students.

First visit today was to CHEC, a new ophthalmology centre at Rowland Hill House in the heart of Chesterfield. Patients can be referred here by their optician or GP. With short waiting times and a patient transport service, it is a valuable option for those seeking treatment.

And again, another Labour hat trick. This time on apprenticeships: 🆙 Starts up 🆙 Participation up 🆙 Achievements up Through our Plan for Change, we’re backing our young people to unlock opportunity and drive growth. x.com/bphillipsonmp/…

“Things are moving on so fast that we've got to keep up with the rest of the world.” @CSkidmoreUK joins @tobyperkinsmp on the latest Committee Corridor episode to discuss if the Government's clean power by 2030 ambition is achievable? Listen where you get your podcasts 🎧

Incredibly irresponsible. A deliberate attempt to undermine the energy transition that is the only hope of bringing down energy prices for hard-pressed Britons.

Labour didn’t preside over the breach - that was 2022 under @Conservatives Labour didn’t impose the injunction - that was 2023 under @Conservatives Labour didn’t appeal the court’s decision to lift it - that was May 2024 under @Conservatives Labour reviewed it + lifted it

📺WATCH📺 So, it's been another toasty week, both down here in Parliament and back in Chesterfield. Ironic that we've spent much of the week talking about flooding but here's a bit of what I've been up to.

You can hear me in the Hot Seat now at bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Thanks to @tobyperkinsmp and @Louise_Jones_MP for joining us for a guided train boarding experience, with @DerbyshireLC. We look forward to talking more about what can be done to make rail services more accessible.
